The Color Purple Portland Tickets

The Color Purple tickets A national tour of "The Color Purple" began April 17, 2007, starting with an extended run at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. The company includes LaToya London as Nettie, Michelle Williams as Shug Avery, Felicia P. Fields as Sofia, and Jeannette Bayardelle as Celie. Bayardelle and Fields both are reprising their roles from Broadway. The show exceeded revised expectations, which necessitated a four week extension of its Chicago engagement until September 30, 2007. However, the original expectation was that the show would run in Chicago until November. In all, the show produced respectable business results bringing in about $1 million per week for the first half of the engagement, but less during the summer months when the ticket prices were reduced to $39.50 to keep the theater full. The second stop on the national tour was a San Francisco, California engagement.
