The Color
Purple:
by Richard Bullock CAS and Steven Morrow CAS
A
Collaborative
Effort
Being invited to join the team bringing a new iteration of The
Color Purple
to the screen, based on both the book and the Tony
Award-winning Broadway musical no less, was an incredible
honor. We know how important the original 1985 film is to so
many people as well, it's often the film they watch annually when
getting together with family. The fact that this would also include
twenty-six on-screen music moments and lots of incredible
choreography, dancers, and musicians made it that much more
exciting for us, plus the enthusiasm and passion that Director
Blitz Bazawule brought to the project was infectious. On top of
that, the cast was an absolute dream and a pleasure to work with
every day.
