The Color Purple

The award-winning musical of The Color Purple tours to The Lowry in Salford October 11-15.

Leicester’s Curve Theatre and Birmingham Hippodrome’s co-production was originally staged in 2019 and won several awards.

During lockdown in spring 2021, the venues reunited the company to share a special digital production of the show streamed by more than 20,000 in the UK and Ireland.

Based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer prize-winning novel, The Color Purple tells of heroine Celie. Abused and oppressed throughout her youth, she finds joy, despair, anguish and hope, discovering her own unique voice thanks to the incredible women in her life.
