Watch Jennifer Hudson & Cynthia Erivo Knock Out The Color Purple's Anthem Before the Revival Lands on Broadway
by Ryan McPhee • Aug 24, 2015
The Color Purple returns to Broadway this fall with a new production from London. Taking center stage is U.K. stage star Cynthia Erivo as Celie, joined by Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson as Shug Avery. Take a look at this video from People as the two B’way newbies (both rocking shades of—you guessed it—purple lipstick) slay the title song in the recording studio. Between these powerhouses, plus co-stars Danielle Brooks, Kyle Scatliffe and more, the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre may want to look into roof reinforcements. The revival, directed by John Doyle, will begin performances on November 10.
