The Color Purple Review – Experience It At the Straz Center in Tampa

Confession.  I never saw the movie The Color Purple.  When I was offered the chance to see the performance at the Straz Center here in Tampa, I jumped at the opportunity because I love the Straz and I feel that live performances transport me to another magical place that movies and social media just can’t.  I wasn’t ready for the emotional journey that The Color Purple put me on.

First of all, the cast was just amazing.  I was in awe from the moment the show started.  I found myself wiping tears from my cheeks when I didn’t even realize I was crying, I found myself laughing, clapping and “Woohoo-ing” at various points in the show, and when it ended, I was completely amazed that I had been sitting for over two hours.
