Watch Tony Nominee Cynthia Erivo & The Color Purple Cast Perform 'Miss Celie's Pants'

That woman's a wiz with the sewing machine—and the audience! The Color Purple Tony nominee Cynthia Erivo appeared on The View on June 2; before performing with the vibrant cast, the Broadway newcomer thanked View host Whoopi Goldberg for inspiring her. (Goldberg nabbed an Oscar nom for the role of Celie in the 1985 film. She and Erivo also have the role of Sister Act's Deloris in common.) Watch the resplendent cast of The Color Purple perform "Miss Celie's Pants," and be sure to catch the Tony-nominated revival at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre!
