Once more, with feeling

Dear God, dear stars, dear trees, dear sky, dear peoples, dear everything...

The beautiful Miss Alice Walker once said, “I think it pisses off God when you walk by the color purple in a field and not notice it.” I’m not God or anything (that is obviously a role reserved only for Mr. Freeman) but I will be pretty pissed if you watch this video of The Color Purple musical (supported avidly by Hollywood's Sofia, Oprah Winfrey) and don’t notice how amazing it is.

Normally, I would express my utter devotion to this show a little more extensively with a 500 word love letter to it but, to quote Miss (I think the Southern charm of Celie is rubbing off on me) Shug Avery, it’s too beautiful for words.

Amen. <3

P.S. - Is it weird that one of my goals is to become one of the church ladies in this show? And not to play one, but actually become one - complete with a big brimmed hat, a penchant for midday gossiping, a love for personal fans and and one hell of a set of sassy vocal skills.
