⭐ THE COLOR PURPLE IN CONCERT ANNOUNCED FOR CURVE LEICESTER ⭐
Curve Leicester has announced the return of its award-winning production of The Color Purple, as part of its reopening plans, it has been announced.
This will be a special concert production of the original 2019 Made at Curve and Birmingham Hippodrome co-production.
T’Shan Williams and Danielle Fiamanya, who won The Stage Debut Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical for her role as ‘Nettie’; will return to star in The Color Purple.
The concert version will be staged by original production team members Director Tinuke Craig, Musical Director Alex Parker and Choreographer Mark Smith.
The theatre, which was forced suddenly to close its doors to the public on 16th March, will open again this autumn for spectacularly re-imagined, socially distanced concert performances of acclaimed Made at Curve productions, using the building’s unique theatre design.
By raising the walls between its theatre spaces, Curve will reopen as a 533-seat socially-distanced auditorium, with audiences enjoying live performances from all four sides of the stage, fully realising the ambition of architect Rafael Viñoly’s original design.
A triple-revolve, donated by Sir Cameron Mackintosh, will help to transform the space to create an epic experience for audience members.
Curve’s reopening plans are only possible due to grant funding received from the government’s Culture Recovery Fund and the ongoing support of Arts Council England and Leicester City Council.
The Color Purple In Concert will run from 23rd November – 3rd December 2020.
Fabulous! ! !
