The company just got together for a listening party and BroadwayWorld was there to celebrate. Check out highlights from the special night below!

"One of the easiest decisions of my career was choosing to record a new cast album of The Color Purple - we'd be crazy not to capture these performances forever. I can't wait for Broadway fans everywhere to get a taste of the unforgettable vocal power that is being delivered by this remarkable cast nightly at the Jacobs Theatre," said Producer Scott Sanders.

THE COLOR PURPLE is an unforgettable story of enduring love and triumph over adversity. With a fresh, joyous score of jazz, ragtime, gospel and blues, this stirring family chronicle follows the inspirational Celie, as she journeys from childhood through joy and despair, anguish and hope to discover the power of love and life.
