Her acting is incredible.
mrjcb91 it sure is !
Color Purple Lover. Can i please please please get the full show !! i have been wanting to see it forever just couldn't afford to lol , but if you can it would make me the happiest 17 year old on the planet 💜💜💜 natasha.jaynell0511@gmail.com
I honestly think she would have been tony nominated if she was the original. J Hud was amazing vocally but she was missing this skill.
@@mrjcb91 I think she was just a bad fit for the character. There's just a sexuality and sensuousness to Shug, that doesn't come naturally to J-Hud

Every few months I circle back to these performances for catharsis and they always deliver. The tears flow each and every time just like they did on day one. Never got to see it during the run and I deeply regret it.
If you still have the file, I’d love a copy. Happy to pay the fee!
Heather Headley became Shug Avery and conveyed that spirit better than anyone. She was believable as an older Shug Avery than Jennifer Hudson. She received a Tony Award in 2000 and you can tell she knows how to act, sing and convey the ethos for you to believe she is the character.
Jennifer H can sing but she can’t speak the lines or embody the emotion truthfully. She was right that the production likely used her star power to sell tickets. The Tony voters rightfully overlooked her…
Every small details that Heather added is so beautiful. Just like the small movement of her hands and her fingers. It tells a story, an emotion
You are so correct in this interpretation
The way she says "God not a man at all" gives me shivers.
2:10 the pain on her face that she feels for celie is beautiful. she is really talented. she played this role like NO other. and did you see "too beautiful for words?" the way she used her body to tell that story was ah-mazing. she's perfect for the stage.
Right!! Her body tells the story of their underlying Love for each other.. When she belts, "The Color Purple!" My God, you could feel God using her to portray this character so beautifully..
If Heather originated the role for the revival she 100% would of been nominated for a Tony. Probably would of won too. She was incredible in this role
Straight as I am, Heather would've got me, I see why Celie was obsessed.. She played the HELL out this role!! That, "God not a man at all!" Chills on top of chills.. I just can't stop watching this.. Love this song!!!
Welcome to Georgia. Sodom and Gomorrah
Heather is so good. Her acting and her singing skills are no match! Such a talent
Agreed reminds me of her acting in Lion King and Aida, she makes you feel like she is embodying her characters
If you don't know GOD This performance will help you find him...
She’s absolute perfection in every way. I wish she did more, but cherish her performances.
Heather Headley is perfection‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
heather headly is by far the best Shug! OMG everything about her performance is perfect.
This performance was unbelievable. Each person connected. Heather Headley sang and showed how to act this song. #BRAVO
Heather is amazing. I can watch her all day. I am obsessed with Heather haha. Amazing gift. I love to meet her some day.
perfection does not begin to describe this work. master class
2:19 is an actress accessing her BODY to bring forth honest emotion… you can’t fake that. It’s those small ticks that show the true ACTRESSES from just the singers…
NOT ONE BAD NOTE... my goodness. Both these women would have won Tonys if Heather would have originated the role, not just Cynthia... they are a better fit together than both Jennifers IMO
I don't think anyone was going to take Renee Elise Goldsberry for supporting actress that year. But I imagine Heather would have at least scored a nom, unlike Hudson.
I absolutely agree
To the first comment !!!!
100% TRUTH!!!
100% TRUTH!!!
I had the chance to see it on Broadway when J HUD was Shug and it was amazing. I am so sorry they left NY.
LORD! look what God has done!!!!
She really should have been the original Shug in the revival
I would love to see the whole show
Me too
She’s def the best Shugg. Wish they cast her in the movie
lies you tell
Same she was amazing
This is beyond beautiful. The queen
This is so beautiful, too beautiful for words
Ugh is it possible for Heather to be nominated for a tony at the 2017 award show or no because the show is over/she wasn't there long enough? I don't know how it works, but she so deserves one for this
Actually Jhud wasn't nominated for a Tony for Shug Avery, though she probably should have been.
Vaitb85 I disagree. JHud, while having an amazing voice, isn't the best actress, nor a great fit for this role besides for the singing (in my opinion)
I think they should have went to Heather in the first place
We are not worthy of Ms. Headleys greatness❤
Wow!! What a voice!!
this fully gave me the chills all up my body
Of all 3 major adaptations of this work, this one - and especially the way Cynthia and Heather perform it - do the best job of capturing this theme from Alice Walker’s novel. The idea that believing in god has nothing to do with bible stories and men in the sky, but is feeling connected to everyone and everything in this world. We find god when we look inside, and our friends help us find the courage to do it. I think the Spielberg and Bazawule films both touched on this but not nearly as deeply or beautiful as it’s done here.
Oh Heather....damn
i would love to see this entire show.

If you still have this full show I'd like to have it and will gladly pay the fee.
2:19 Yes God!!!
Hey Color Purple Lover, thanks for the upload. Do you have the entire show? I'd love to see it. I live in California so I wasn't able to get to NYC to see the show.
If you're ulitmately not able to get this recording, the Color Purple tour is coming to LA next year
bdaf07 hey ! Sorry for being late... if you want a copy no problem bit there will be a fee
Color Purple Lover do you still have a copy of this?
@@colorpurplelover8571 hey what is the fee if it is still available?
Anyone have the full on TH-cam?
现场就跟原声一样，天籁之音！
Where can I get the full show this is amazing
She looks so young. Can’t believe she’s 70
She's... not 😂
I'm here because they left the solo version out of the movie, and that was NOT a good move.
Damn. I’d only she originated the role. She should have!
Awesome ! I really wanted to see this but I can't 😭 can you please send me the show if you have it?
Tahirahglover51@gmail.com
Tahirah Glover hey yes you can have a copy but there will be a small fee
@@colorpurplelover8571 how much is the fee
And why is she not doing the movie??
Where can I get the full version 😫
@Color Purple Lover Hi I’m not sure if you’re still active on this account but I wanted to give it a try. I love the videos you’ve posted. I’m a huge Heather Headley fan and I would love if I could purchase the full play from you. That is if you still have it available.
You have the full show with heather?
Can you send me a copy of whole show with Heather for a fee?
Song ??
Can someone tell me what Cynthia & Heather said at the end
Please come to England 😍😍😍😍
Jayne Mcfadden IT NEEDS TO
Jayne Mcfadden it is!!! I don’t think it’s the original cast but I’m going to see it in Birmingham in July it’s doing 5 or so dates in two places
where is the mic?
What’s the name of the song please?
It called the color purple
What's the name of this scene is this the letter?
Why did they keep bringing the key down in this song? It was in the key of B flat for JHud, A for Heather, and A flat for Jennifer Holliday
I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out and then listened to Jhud in the cast recording! To be honest, I'd rather hear Ms Headley sing it like this in her range rather than what happened at the Dreamgirls concert with Ain't No Party. Heather sounds amazing here.
Theatre Freak to preserve there voices over the long period of singing
Because they have different tones
they are different voice types. J Hud is a (Dramatic) Soprano which J Holliday used to be. Now she has aged into a MezzoSoprano, which Heather is also.
heather is more dramatic im not into dramatics im into chemistry, that jhud and Cyn and Angela and Tasia had🥵😍😍😍😍😍
