    The Color Purple

    by Anonymous on 7/1/18Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    Great show. Some of the dialogue was quiet, so difficult to hear. Music was amazing.

    Beautiful and memorable!

    by Wymama23 on 7/1/18Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    The music was amazing. The actors were very good. My only complaint was that I had trouble hearing the dialogue. Many people around me said the same.

    Color Purple cast and show was fantastic

    by Jimmy333 on 7/1/18Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    . The cast and crew really made this show fantastic. The singing and acting was superb especially the main characters. The show didn't have any showy special effects or other distractions it was pure talent that made the show so great. Must-see for everyone.

    Acoustics

    by snowytewa on 7/1/18Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    In the beginning it seemed hard to clearly understand what the performers were singing/saying but seemed to get better. Otherwise the performance was great.

    Amazing

    by kbcruz1020 on 7/1/18Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    I cannot express just how amazing this show was. The performers have 150% with the acting and definitely the singing. It was great and I’d encourage anyone to go see this!

    Yay! Sophia...Boo! Substitute Celie

    by Theetahlovah on 6/21/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    I would definitely recommend going to see this show. Just check to see if there are any subs for the night. I had the misfortune of seeing an understudy for the role of Celie. She seemed out of it the entire time. Almost as if she was tired or maybe preoccupied with remembering her blocking. It almost ruined the whole thing for me...but then Sophia stepped on stage. Carrie Compere stole the show!

    BRAVO for The Color Purple

    by paulewannacracker on 6/20/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    A very simple set design really allows the performers to be front and center. The sound at Pantages isn't superior but the incredible singing voices and acting skills made up for it all. The audience was standing and cheering multiple times during the night.

    The Color Purple at The Pantages

    by theSkyChic on 6/20/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    The play and the performances were great. However, there was a BIG disappointment with the sound. We sat up in the Mezzanine section and none of the five people in our group, nor the people in front of us could make out the words that were being sung. We related this plight to one of the employees and were told that they were aware of the issue with the sound and that it was not on the end of the Pantages theatre but of the production itself. At intermission, we went to the services department and got some amplifiers which made all the difference.

    Shiny stars lost in a messy sky

    by Druessical on 6/20/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    Individual performers were really good, but overall the musical is messy with no memorable moments or songs. One set the entire musical with chairs being a focal point, but no explanation for so many chairs is given via spoken lines or verse. Key moments from the story are glossed over and treated as asides already happening out of view and merely mentioned onstage. Constant coming and going of people and events, blending together; everyone dressed alike; and the whole show just seems a confusing mess. Glad I saw it but would not recommend it to anyone. Has potential to be good but the adaptation and stage direction are poor.

    Disappointed in The Color Purple

    by TuneapRettub on 6/19/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    I've seen quite a few of these Broadway Series shows and out of all of them, I liked The Color Purple the least. There were absolutely no set changes and the costumes only changed once after intermission. The singing and acting was very good but it was mostly all singing and very little acting. It almost reminded me of an opera. However I was not at all disappointed with the actors' performances. They all did an outstanding job.

    Amazing Acting

    by KDLDL on 6/19/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    Acting and singing were top notch, play was harder to understand what was going on than that movie. Definitely I’d recommend the movie over the play, or at least see the movie before the play to be able to follow what’s going on.

    The Color Purple Revival was phenomenal!

    by Cottontailor on 6/19/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    The Color Purple Revival was an amazing show with a fantastic cast! I laughed and cried. The story was how I remembered from years ago when I saw the movie but the stage version is softer. You are missing out if you don’t see this show. It’s certainly one of the best I’ve ever seen.

    Not to be missed

    by Charleesgma on 6/19/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    The Color Purple exceeded expectations. The cast was the best ensemble I have witnessed in years. It was emotionally charged for an unforgettable performance. The audience was on its feet before the final act. Can’t wait to. See it again

    The Color Purple

    by ShowbizSue on 6/19/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    The show was outstanding. I saw it twice in one week because it was so good, couldn’t miss the chance to see it one more time before it left the Pantages. Incredibly talented cast⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The music and singing were outstanding!

    by JazzLover48 on 6/18/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    I had forgotten how sad Celie's life was. It's a wonderful play that takes you from the depths of despair to triumph. I enjoyed it immensely.

    Great play but kinda hard to hear sometimes

    by MlkSdni on 6/18/18Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles

    I enjoyed it but sitting in row P (2nd last row), center, I had a hard time making out everything that was said and sung by the actors.
