THE COLOR PURPLE

​I am completely obsessed with Cynthia Erivo and Heather Headley in THE COLOR PURPLE. The most amazing piece of theatre I have ever seen! Unbelievable. Clearly, I have a problem.
"Too Beautiful for Words"
Nomination Clip shown at Tony Awards, 2016

Cynthia Erivo and Heather Headley: "What About Love?"

Interesting how this video is so focused on Jennifer Hudson, but good audio quality, and it shows clips from the stage show.

Cynthia Erivo The Color Purple on the Today Show, May 3

Danielle Brooks, "Hell, No!"


Cynthia Erivo and The Pants Song on The View, June 2 (song starts at 3:10)

Cynthia Erivo & Jennifer Hudson - “What About Love?”

Cynthia Erivo at the recording studio. Clips from recording the cast album.

Heather Headley - “Push Da Button”

This doesn’t come close to the live experience, but good: Cynthia Erivo at Kennedy Center Honors - “I’m Here”

Cynthia Erivo - audio clip of live broadway stage performance of “I’m Here.”

 How to Sing Like a Broadway Star - Vocal Tips

2016 Tony Awards
You have to watch a 30-second add to see this video of the 2016 Tony Awards, but good.
