Jennifer Hudson will PUSH DA BUTTON on Broadway.

March 18, 2015 By Theatre Editor

 

Grammy, Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winner Jennifer Hudson will make her Broadway debut as Shug Avery in the Broadway revival of The Color Purple.

She will join Cynthia Erivo, who earned raves from U.K. and American critics for her performance in the lead role of Celie in the 2013 London production.

The production begins previews Nov. 9 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. Opening night is set for Dec. 3.

This pared-down revival was first seen at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory, directed and designed by Tony winner John Doyle, who will also recreate that production on Broadway.  The London staging also featured musical supervision by Catherine Jayes, choreography by Ann Yee, costumes by Matthew Wright, lighting by Jane Cox and sound by Gregory Clarke.

The musical was adapted for the stage by Marsha Norman, with music and lyrics by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray.
