Product Description

From the Pulitzer-prize winning novel by Alice Walker, and the moving film by Steven Spielberg, has come a soul-stirring new musical and landmark Broadway hit that has critics and audiences on their feet. A musical that evokes a unique emotional response, it tracks the story of its heroine, Celie, from sexual abuse by her stepfather to physical abuse by her husband to "a roof-raising story of triumph." This gorgeously producedcompanion volume revisits what is so powerful about the show. The Color Purple: A Memory Book has the look and feel of a beautiful antique scrapbook, a keepsake for those who have experienced the musical and want to be able to experience its soaring emotions at any time, or who want to share Celie's journey with their loved ones. But it will also be a memory book of the road The Color Purple took — from Alice Walker's memories right through to the sketches for the costumes and sets, from the cast's own struggles to the entire libretto, all of which have given Celie's against-the-odds triumph new life. Revealing, poignant, and stunning, The Color Purple: A Memory Book is a must-have book for anyone moved by Celie's story.

The Color Purple: A Memory Book5
Our family saw The Color Purple on stage in New York and my daughter has become obsessed with the music and the story, We bought her this gorgeous memory book for Christmas and she has spent hours reading the script, looking at the pictures and reliving the play. We will be returning to New York in 2 weeks to again see this wonderful show.

Color Purple Memory Book5
I love this book! I was hooked after I saw the musical and went right out and bought this book and the soundtrack. This book is great. It tells you the story of how the book came to be a musical and I enjoyed reading the process. I never would've known how long it takes to make a musical from a book and how to make the music tell the story. I would definately recommend this to anyone that has seen the musical!

A souvenir for my mom5
I gave this beautiful coffee table book as a souvenir to my mom when we returned home from seeing the play. It was a perfect surprise since she had admired it for sale in the lobby (at$40). It made the bargain I got at Amazon even better.
