The Color Purple, Transcending Adversity

Review of The Color Purple Presented by Dallas Summer Musicals

Director John Doyle’s award-winning revival of The Color Purple powerfully conveys the general culture of subjugation inherent in 1930’s rural Georgia. Amidst a minimally set stage, the cast weaves together the story of young Celie’s journey from despair to personal triumph.

Adrianna Hicks is stunning in her portrayal of Celie, transforming a vulnerable young girl into an empowered woman who rises up from her abusive  circumstances to become an accomplished business woman.
