I know that she had won the Tony for that role and, having seen her brilliant performance on Broadway in "Once On This Island", it would have been good to she what she did with the character. We also enjoyed the church women and actually thought they were the best part of the show. We didn't have problems with most of the performances and it was great to see so many people of color working on Broadway again. We just thought that the show would never end because, to our surprise, Marsha Norman tried to put everything in this musical from the book that even Spielberg had cut from the movie. It's a show that should be seen but I was ready for it end about a half hour before it did. Ronnie, I don’t know if you know that LaChance is no longer with the show.

I really, really, love it, and managed not to cry until about 2 thirds into the show. But I do have criticisms. The male roles were underwritten and not as outstandlingly performed as the female roles. And I agree with Nico on the Africa portions -- a little too Lion King. But I did found the story completely compelling nonetheless. LaChance, as Celie, was transcendent. (I'm glad to see this woman who lost her fireman husband at ground zero on 9/11 step out onto a broadway stage and say "I am somebody"). And the chorus of church woman -- whew! It's as if the women you saw every sunday while growing up were singing the gossip you knew they were talking.... Okay — here’s my two cents about The Color Purple.

I went to see it because it opened on Broadway just after I had finished working with the director (Des McAnuff) on a workshop of Zhivago (musical). I'm also friends with Bobby Spencer - he was a one of my co-stars in my first equity show in NYC. Anyway, the show is truly fantastic, and rises above the genre of juke box musical. Thrillling, moving, thoroughly enjoyable. I have to agree with you on Jersey Boys.

That's really like something out of a movie with life suddenly going in slow motion. Yes to the limo in the future. (Did you by any chance get a pic of the cabbie or the license so we can get that guy off the road? ). Glad you are both safe and sound. First of all, I’m so glad that everyone is alright. wow.
