LaCHANZE The Color Purple

I love how respectfully quiet this audience is until the end of the song

[@sarahb-rh9dd]

Well when your being taken to church and you feel the spirit you can't but to holler and celebrate like with the ms fantssia

[@vyronh.5595]

The facial expressions, the voice… 😭 I’m in awe

[@cadmarbusinesssuite9155]

I never knew LaChanze was the original Celie. My goodness, the acting is incredible. I love what she brought to this role and boy she can really sing. Wow! She obviously is a tenured actor. The acting just brought something so special and how it allowed the song to breathe.

Had the absolute pleasure to see her as Ti Moune in the original cast of "Once On This Island" and I was hooked for life! She's an amazing artist and an award winning producer now! Go LaChanze!!

[@bernieappugliese2029]

@AdamEfimoff Of course. And if I'm correct, she was working on this show and Dessa Rose at the same time. That performance won her awards as well. And she's marvelous on that recording!

Amazing innthe Original production of Once On This Island.

I love how she interprets “I’mmmmmmm gonna flirt with somebody!”

[@djramshead]

my heart hurts everyday that no one brought me to see this musical when it debuted - and doubly more so mad that these shows aren’t readily available to order on demand in this world of streaming services!

[@coasterjudge]

Wow! I love how quietly she sings "and I'm Here." there's a quiet confidence in this. Instead of telling the world, she's telling herself, "I exist, I love myself, and that's all I need."

[@hippyfriend]

I adore the way she delivers "to the folks that I'm close to" at 2:41

[@marchandtpinkney5085]

Beautiful voice and performance ❤️

[@christopherbush9027]

She had quite the night on Sunday!

[@sonyapetty9942]

Beautiful performance!

[@danieltice3428]

stunning

[@wickedwizard5377]

My goodness, she sang the ending for you

[@willrucker8352]

My favorite flirty shoulders 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@xoffender45]

How nice to not hear the audience making it about them when she sings "I'm beautiful"

[@iago07]

This was a preview so many didn’t know what she was gonna sing… that’s why there’s not as much clapping in the middle I think

[@johni0666]

The woman is a goddess ❤❤❤

LaChanze was the original Celie; Cynthia Erivo was the revival Celie- Fantasia was a replacement for LaChanze.
