color_purple2x2webThe hit musical The Color Purple has been a huge success nationwide and is coming to Houston starring Jennifer Holliday! The Color Purple is coming to The Hobby Center for 4 BIG Shows March 28th – 30th.

“The Color Purple” is a 1982 epistolary novel by American author Alice Walker that won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction; later adapted into a film and musical of the same name. “The Color Purple” was hugely successful as a novel, on screen and on Broadway.

Jennifer Holliday is undeniably one of R&B and Broadway’s greatest voices. The dynamic songstress’ now legendary show-stopping, heart-wrenching performance of the torch ballad “And I’m Telling You, I’m Not Going” in the smash hit Broadway musical, Dreamgirls, made her a household name and introduced her big soulful voice to the world.
