“The Color Purple”: Sharina Black’s musical adaptation will open in theaters on Christmas Day.

The Color Purple is an emotionally charged film that many fans are eager to watch. The picture, which was produced by Quincy Jones, Scott Sanders, Steven Spielberg, and Oprah Winfrey, is a daring new interpretation of the timeless tale of love and endurance. The film followed Celie Harris’s journey from adversity to eventual success. Tears of joy and anguish will undoubtedly flow from many viewers when Celie (played by Fantasia Barrino in her big film debut, a role she revisited on Broadway in 2005) is torn apart from her sister Nettie (Halle Bailey) and her children. This powerful story—which a lot of people relate to on a personal level—is being replayed in a musical film experience.
