Now that we’re about halfway through 2015, maybe purple is the new orange.
Just a thought as producers announced Wednesday that Orange is the New Black star Danielle Brooks will make her Broadway debut in The Color Purple later this year.
Word went out soon after rave reviews broke for the London production that Scott Sanders and Oprah Winfrey were eager to bring the revised version back to Broadway despite the relatively brief time since its premiere.
The production will begin previews on Nov. 9 before its Dec. 10 opening at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.
Though don’t worry we won’t be seeing any less of Brooks’ on her breakout role, since Brooks is due to return in the third season of Orange Is the New Black which will premier on June 12.
