Wish the Laurie Metcalf/David Suchet revival that played London a couple of years ago had been able to transfer. It was reportedly excellent. But Lange's performance in the London revival around 2000 was her most (only?) widely-acclaimed stage performance.

Danielle Brooks will make her Broadway debut as Sophia in the revival of "The Color Purple".
Why is this being revived so soon? |

RE: Casting! Casting!
The Color Purple seemed to carry with it a stench of failure, even though it recouped and made a decent profit on Broadway. It gained a new life with a very successful national tour, followed by two non-equity tours, followed by what was reportedly a significant re-imagining by John Doyle in a London production. The Doyle revival, which got raves in London, is the one coming to Broadway. I believe Doyle cut around thirty minutes from the original show and focused it in more closely on the Celie character. I recall reading that the long number that opens the second-act was cut down significantly.
