By Firstladyb

The Color Purple on Broadway had its final curtain call on January 8th, and the cast ended it praising God,  performing  a rendition of “Total Praise”by Richard Smallwood.

Before the curtain closed one final time the entire cast came out on stage to address the audience. Actress Patrice Covington then proceeded to give the farewell speech on behalf of everyone.

“In closing, we want to ask you to take the words from this show in your heart forever and ever and hold them,” Covington told the audience. “Try to live by them as much as possible because in a world like what we live in today, what we need the most is love. We love you, and as we do when someone leaves our show, we sing. So today will be no different, hopefully we can get through that.
