The Color Purple
(It's premiering in Atlanta before it heads up to broadway)
World Premiere
Sept. 9 - Oct. 17
It's Broadway-bound, but you'll see the World Premiere of this soul-stirring version of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel at the Alliance Theatre first! The Color Purple is a family saga of hope, inspiration and triumph as Walker's diverse and unforgettable characters come vividly to life on stage. Blending dance with the sounds and rhythms of blues, gospel, jazz, swing, rural roots and African music, this acclaimed, sweeping epic - which Ms. Walker has called a universal story with music in its soul - sings with emotion, wit and love of life. And this beautiful new musical adaptation by Grammy Award-winning composer/lyricists Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Marsha Norman ('night, Mother), is the cannot-be-missed-event of not only Atlanta, but the national theatre scene!
Topdog/Underdog
(Mos Def received rave reviews for his role in this on broadway)
Pulitzer Prize Winner
Nov. 12 - Dec. 19
On the intimate Hertz Stage, you're thrust into the room with two brothers - Lincoln and Booth - colliding in a dangerous game of love, hate and sibling rivalry in this explosive drama by one of America's most acclaimed writers. Topdog/Underdog was unanimously hailed by critics and audiences as a modern classic when it blasted onto the Broadway stage in 2002. Its phenomenal success is due in no small part to Suzan-Lori Parks' dialogue that crackles with jazz and humor, culminating in a climax of dizzying passion and intensity.
