The Color Purple - An Amazing Journey

I had the privilege of seeing The Color Purple last night at Proctors. I missed out on the Broadway production, luckily I had a second chance. The Color Purple is beautifully crafted and it soars to great heights. The story is uplifting and serves as a valuable reminder of how “people are making life harder for other people”, in the end we are all the same and The Color Purple stresses the importance of acceptance and tolerance.

The most notable aspect of this production was the cast; the talent on that stage is at times awe-inspiring. The songs are quite memorable and the lighting design was striking. The story is also of great importance, and I commend the book writers for focusing on the journey of this amazing woman. If you have some time, go to Proctors this weekend and see this show, you won’t regret it.

Did you get your tickets?

Wicked flies into Schenectady in December, did you get your tickets? If you want to go, get your tickets now, it seems like tickets are selling very quickly. A snapshot from the Proctor's box office shows limited seats available for many of the performances. It's not very often that such a big blockbuster show makes it's way into town so don't miss out! 

Also, don't forget to make your dining reservations in Downtown Schenectady, they have some great places to eat! Make them now so you don't end up being shut out! I myself have tickets and dinner reservations!
