Win a pair of tickets to an exclusive screening of The Color Purple

Here’s your chance to win a pair of tickets to an exclusive screening of the forthcoming world premiere of The Color Purple musical movie, as part of a special partnership between WhatsOnStage and Warner Bros.

The Color Purple tells the story of Celie, a young Black woman living in rural Georgia who becomes estranged from her beloved sister, is forcibly wed to an older widower, and becomes smitten with Shug Avery — all in the first act.

The movie cast is led by Fantasia Barrino as Celie, after assuming the role from 2007 to 2008 in the stage musical’s Broadway premiere and reprising it in 2010 during the US national tour, alongside Danielle Brooks as Sofia, reprising her Tony-nominated performance in the role from the 2015 Broadway revival.

Marcus Gardley has penned the screenplay for the movie musical and Blitz Bazawule directs, with the film set for release in the UK and Ireland on 26 January 2024.

The screening will take place at Warner House, London WC1X 8WB on Monday 15 January, with the screening starting at 6.30pm and doors opening at 6pm.
