Congratulations to Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Hudson & Danielle Brooks as The Color Purple Officially Opens on Broadway

Celie's here! The Color Purple, starring Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Hudson and more, officially opens on December 10 at the Great White Way's Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.

To celebrate the too beautiful for words revival of the John Doyle-helmed tuner, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this portrait. There's Erivo as Celie, Hudson as Shug Avery, Danielle Brooks as Sofia, Isaiah Johnson as Mister, Kyle Scatliffe as Harpo, Joaquina Kalukango as Nettie, Patrice Covington as Squeak and Kevyn Morrow as Pa.

Broadway.com wishes the The Color Purple team a happy opening—enjoying pushing "da button" tonight!



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
