Follow the story of courageous heroine Celie as she journeys through joy, despair, anguish and hope in her own personal awakening to discover her unique voice in the world.
With a profoundly evocative score by Grammy award-winners Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray and drawing inspiration from jazz, ragtime, gospel and blues, this landmark musical celebrates life, love and the strength to stand up for who you are and what you believe in.
This moving and soul-raising family chronicle is set in racially divided southern America in the 1900s. As the years go by, abused and oppressed Celie becomes resigned to her unfortunate lot in life. But when her friendship with fiercely independent Sofia and love affair with glamourous singer Shug start to shake things up, she begins to question her world; and understand that there must be more to life.
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker and adapted for the stage by Pulitzer Prize and Tony award-winner Marsha Norman, this critically acclaimed Made at Curve and Birmingham Hippodrome production won Best Regional Production (WhatsOnStage Awards).

Dilynwch stori'r arwres ddewr Celie wrth iddi deithio drwy lawenydd, anobaith, gofid a gobaith yn ei deffroad personol ei hun i ddarganfod ei llais unigryw yn y byd.
Gyda sgôr hynod atgofus gan enillwyr gwobr Grammy Brenda Russell, Allee Willis a Stephen Bray sy’n tynnu ysbrydoliaeth o jazz, ragtime, efengylol a blws, mae'r sioe gerdd nodedig hon yn dathlu bywyd, cariad a'r cryfder i sefyll dros bwy ydych chi a'r hyn rydych chi'n credu ynddo.
Mae'r cronicl teuluol hwn sy’n codi’ch enaid wedi'i osod yn ne America yn y 1900au. Wrth i'r blynyddoedd fynd heibio, mae Celie'n cael ei cham-drin a'i gormesu ac yn dechrau derbyn sefyllfa ei bywyd. Ond pan fydd ei chyfeillgarwch â’r Sofia annibynnol a’i chariad gyda'r canwr glamoraidd Shug yn dechrau ysgwyd pethau, mae'n dechrau cwestiynu ei byd; a deall bod yn rhaid bod mwy i’w gael mewn bywyd.
