I've been watching this video since 2016 and i STILL C A N ' T stop crying at the end when everyone sings: LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE I can't. I just can't. The harmones, the voices, the lyrics...............
I think it’s because when you don’t have all the high tech equipment like in the studio, you really have to focus on emotion and chemistry between the cast. It’s really incredible
It was so good. Omg people were crying and cheering. It was electric and Cyntjia Erivo was OUTSTANDING! I understand why they closed the show when she left. Without her, what was the use?
I will never have to see another actress play Celie, and I will NEVER get tired of watching Cynthia be her. I saw this in previews and it was one of the most amazing Broadway experiences I've had. I will see anything she ever does if I can. Absolutely incredible
I saw it twice, one being the closing night. I will never forget it as long as I live. Best performance I've ever seen, anywhere. Never felt a connection like that between an audience and cast. Watch the video of Cynthia sing "I'm Here" from the closing night and you'll see what I mean.
Dear god, dear stars, dear trees, dear sky, Dear peoples, dear everything, dear god, God is inside me and everyone else That was or ever will be.

Every few years when I start to feel down and not enough. When life just seems too hard. I circle back to these videos with Cynthia and Heather it reminds me how beautiful I am and how beautiful life can be. Makes me cry everytime.
The performance of Cynthia Erivo is as beautiful and mesmerizing as the set design was constructed. Pure emotions were scattered all around the stage; a vivid imagery. Through her song, she teaches us to see the different impossible things to be possible in a variety of perspective(s). Well done!
there is talent. and then there is TALENT. Ms. Cynthia Erivo. Your voice and acting ability is amazing. You make your voice show ethos for people to feel your singing and interpretation. This is probably the best I have seen anyone be Celie in a way that is powerful and emotional. Your voice blends with the other cast members, effortlessly. No wonder you won a Tony for this performance. #Beautiful
this is the best rendition of this song. Ms. Erivo's delivery and the others complimented each other wonderfully. It has ethos and build up and soul to soul ministry. Beautiful.
Hi! I was wondering if you still had the entire show on file? I know there would be a fee and I completely understand that. I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole again and can’t stop lol
Nah I take that back she would NEVER kiss a woman (on cam) cause of her toxic mama and that toxic church but hey fantasia has those too so I don’t see the difference how she got to do it and not whit🤨🤔
@@Factacceptancemovement 1 she's never done any LGBT work in her whole career the only time she was truly herself and around her ppl was with her love robyn.2 I'd that's her mother she should've stepped in and rescued her from cissy's old decrepit behind
@@sarahb-rh9dd Whitney performed at pride events including aids charity’s and London gay pride in 1991. I don’t think Whitney knew about Teresa until 2001 cuz cissy and John kept it secret.
Heyy i don't know if you've learned about it since then but the movie starring Fantasia, Taraji P Henson and Danielle Brooks is coming this December :)
@@ryanfaure3120 🙄 I'm tryna give Ms. Tasia some credit since everybody in here thinks cyn is the one and only and best. but hey under every version of the songs in the comments the person is the best so 50/50 sitch
I always cheer when she hits that high note in "like a honeyBEE!!!"
Cynthia is a godsend!! I hope she comes back to Broadway someday....
They should’ve just given her a permanent contract
Ugh the honeybee note and the whole little run after miracles. Just Angelic and powerful
“Like the coOooOoolor Purple,” and “honeyBEEE” are also my favorite parts ❤️
She’s back in Wicked !!!
@@kahlanrshe’s in the Wicked movie not onstage though
I have never seen someone put more heart and soul into a performance than Cynthia performing as Celie. Tears every time. This is what true art is.
I cried so hard during this
The control of her voice is just crazy! She goes to using her full voice/head voice and then Goes to her chest voice. Just insane.
Anyone listening to this in 2020. Its
2021who still watching.
Yeah. Just went to see the play last weekend
I'm here again today
Yep! On repeat! Preparing for an audition!
This was my favorite play
On the regular 💗🦋
So are just gonna ignore how she folded the blanket in two seconds?
LOL
She jus rolled it up lol
I wouldn't call that folding. She just rolled it up lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Takes a lot of practice lol as simple as it looks
I've been watching this video since 2016 and i STILL C A N ' T stop crying at the end when everyone sings: LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE
I can't. I just can't.
The harmones, the voices, the lyrics...............
Victor Mendes that’s my favorite part this songs makes me cry all the time. It’s very healing to hear
I cry becuase this song always breaks me how amazingly is written
3:14
How does she sound better on this live recording on someone’s phone than she does on the cast recording. Cynthia is such a legend.
I think it’s because when you don’t have all the high tech equipment like in the studio, you really have to focus on emotion and chemistry between the cast. It’s really incredible
Everyone is on one accord...
She's not on the cast recording. It was created by the original cast before she came to color purple.
it's to do with her vocal resonance being performed and then recorded in a space with better acoustics than a studio, which is usually very dry.
@@delphinefairley3149she’s definitely on the cast recording. When this show was revived they recorded a new cast recording.
The power and force in her voice is stunning and brilliant! I so wish I could've seen this in person!
It was so good. Omg people were crying and cheering. It was electric and Cyntjia Erivo was OUTSTANDING! I understand why they closed the show when she left. Without her, what was the use?
Best song of the show
2:50 - 2:59 absolutely insane... the most satisfying 10sec of my life
@CeeRstar That key change was sublime.
Cynthia's dynamics are impeccable. so. good
How do they all hold it together while singing this?! I'm a wreck!
when I saw this some of the cast actually did have tears coming down! it was beautiful
It was hard. But we had a show to do!😉
@@antoinesmith689 God bless you, seriously.
who's in 2024 and still watching
I will never have to see another actress play Celie, and I will NEVER get tired of watching Cynthia be her. I saw this in previews and it was one of the most amazing Broadway experiences I've had. I will see anything she ever does if I can. Absolutely incredible
Lucky enough to see this twice, and this may be my favorite song in the whole show. Gets me every single time. Thanks for sharing!

She's a best perfomer ever 👏👏👏👏❤
I was lucky enough to see this three times on Broadway. 3 shugs-Jennifer, Jennifer & Heather. And THREE celies…….all CYNTHIA! Life changing. 🙏❤️

😭😭😭❤
2021
This makes me cry every time
Whitney Houston was watching down on Cynthia in this moment, belting along with her and harmonising up in heaven I bet
oh she would MOST DEFINITELY would've been Shug broadway and movie with Tasia OF COURSE
Nah I take that back she would NEVER kiss a woman (on cam) cause of her toxic mama and that toxic church but hey fantasia has those too so I don’t see the difference how she got to do it and not whit🤨🤔
@@sarahb-rh9ddI think for the purpose of the show, Whitney would’ve done the kiss no problem. I still think Teresa Graves was Whitney’s real mother
@@Factacceptancemovement 1 she's never done any LGBT work in her whole career the only time she was truly herself and around her ppl was with her love robyn.2 I'd that's her mother she should've stepped in and rescued her from cissy's old decrepit behind

whered you get it?
2:40
Try to listen to Morissette Amon's version of this. She's so good too!
Is there any chance that this is going to a a movie?
Heyy i don't know if you've learned about it since then but the movie starring Fantasia, Taraji P Henson and Danielle Brooks is coming this December :)
@@ryanfaure3120yep FANTASIA not cyn💯👏🏿
@@sarahb-rh9dd Yeah cause Cynthia was busy filming both Wicked movies :)
@@ryanfaure3120 🙄 I'm tryna give Ms. Tasia some credit since everybody in here thinks cyn is the one and only and best. but hey under every version of the songs in the comments the person is the best so 50/50 sitch
Still crying in 2022
God, this cast and show is amazing
Oh man. She gives me goosebumps.
Chills. 🎉
This cast was outstanding
Imagine Whitney Houston in this role
Would not be this good, but would like to see.
Whitney wasn't even able to live her true life irl what Makes you think she could do it on film meanwhile tasia is doing neither as well 🤦🏿♀️🙄
Amazing!!!
OMG I love this song and there is just no one better in this role than Cynthia Erivo. I could listen to this over and over and over again.
Whitney Houston definitely influenced the music created for this show and I love it
Can you send me a copy of this full show?
