The Color Purple – the Broadway musical based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker – will play its final performance Feb. 24 at the Broadway Theatre, producers announced on Thursday.

“I am extremely proud of this new musical we have brought to life, its creative success and the way in which we have been able to expand the Broadway audience in a culturally significant way,” stated Color Purple lead producer Scott Sanders.

Oprah Winfrey, who created the musical says: “I’m so proud to have been a part of this production that not only made Broadway history, but resonated with a new generation and touched the lives of more than one million theatregoers.”
