“WHO’S WEARIN’ THE PANTS, NOW!”

The unwavering love of two sisters and their transformative journey drives “The Color Purple,” the 2005 award-winning musical that is now playing in an exuberant and richly textured Lili-Anne Brown-directed revival at Drury Lane Theatre. The musical, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Alice Walker and the classic Warner Bros./Amblin film, was adapted for the stage by Marsha Norman, with music and lyrics by Brenda Russel, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray.
