My daughter bought ticket to The Color Purple for us. I was so disappointed with this show. I am by no means trying to compare it to a real Broadway show, which I have seen many, but, the sound system was just plain awful! They have two huge speaker towers, one on each side of the stage. I could not understand any of the dialogue at all!!! The singing was so loud and blaring, along with not being able to understand what they were singing made for a long, boring evening. The set consists of a huge wall with different size wooden chairs and that is all. No set changes and few costume changes. If I had not seen the movie, I would have been totally lost with this play.
The theatre is huge, with two balconies and no center row on the floor seating. This is a huge waste of time and money.
