When she gets choked up on "everything that I need to live a bountiful life" is when I absolutely lost it. I was already tearing up but after that they were flowing. Phenomenal isn't a good enough word to describe her.

That feeling of closing a chapter of your life, screaming an anthem of love and saying goodbye in such a real and intense way. Being able to expel that much emotion in song. That’s the beauty of live theatre, and I weep in awe and sadness at the familiarity of that feeling
@Melensko5 жыл бұрын
I just LOVE how she gets emotional on the line "I believe I have inside of me, everything that I need to live a bountiful life". As an actor this statement is so powerful and I can clearly see why she got choked up here.

@mikhailmladenovicАй бұрын
I normally work in the wings for shows and have been fortunate enough to work on wicked, lion king, book of mormon to name a few. I always get choked up when I see actors bare their soul and give every ounce of themselves 6 days a week to others we (cast and crew) miss birthdays, weddings, births, christmas, and all sorts of occasions so that people can be entertained. And when you see a swing go on for the first time or the cast singing happy birthday to another you create a family. Moments like this are beautiful.

Cynthia is a force of nature. The most brilliant star of stars. I had the utmost pleasure of experiencing her talent in person at a performance of The Color Purple. In the 25 years of seeing broadway shows, I never witnessed a spontaneous, riotous standing ovation before the finale. It was an out-of-body experience.

there are no words to express how much music brings people together. not only did this performance execute her dedication, love, joy, spirit, soul and heart, but it brought out the support and joy and love an emotions from the audience. there was never a dull moment in this performance. every word showed celie’s broken and bruised spirt. every note showed cynthia’s connection with her character. THIS is a performance. this is what “theatre kids” in highschools work to become. this is what we dream to do. we dream to build this bond with our characters and audience. every second of this performance grabs you up and doesnt let you go. not even after you watch it. the chills from the pain she is sharing, is overwhelming, but so true and honest. unbelievable.

Ms. Erivo is absolutely amazing. Emotions everywhere is our theatre classroom right now.

But I guess I understand that they knew how important this night was and they caught it in the right moment. I'm still a little jealous though😂
