Overview

As the snow may affect some customers attending The Color Purple tonight, patrons can call the Forrest directly at 215-923-1515, and choose “0” for assistance. If that number is busy, patrons can call Telecharge Customer Service at 800-543-4835.

The Forrest will offer past performance comps to patrons who cannot attend this evening to any shows this weekend where they have capacity. Patrons would have to come to the Forrest with their tickets for tonight and theater management will work to get them into a performance.

The Color Purple is the 2016 Tony Award® winner for Best Musical Revival! Hailed as "a direct hit to the heart"(The Hollywood Reporter), this joyous American classic has conquered Broadway in an all-new "ravishingly reconceived production that is a glory to behold" (The New York Times) directed by Tony Award® winner John Doyle. With a soul-raising score of jazz, gospel, ragtime and blues, The Color Purple gives an exhilarating new spirit to this Pulitzer Prize-winning story.

Don't miss this stunning re-imagining of an epic story about a young woman's journey to love and triumph in the American South. It's the musical sensation that New York Magazine calls "one of the greatest revivals ever." Experience the exhilarating power of this Tony-winning triumph!
