BuzzFeed have released a video of American Idol alum and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson singing "Too Beautiful For Words" from The Color Purple, offering fans both sides of the Atlantic a first glimpse of what to expect when the show opens on Broadway in November.

Hudson stars alongside Cynthia Erivo and Danielle Brooks in the Menier Chocolate Factory's production when it transfers to Broadway later this year.

All three actresses will be making their Broadway debuts in the production, which sees Erivo reprising her role of Celie and Hudson playing Shug Avery – played at the Menier by Nicola Hughes.

The revival opens on 9 November 2015 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater, with an official opening date of 3 December.
