'The Color Purple' Turned Into Musical

ATLANTA - A musical version of "The Color Purple," Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, will have its world premiere in September at Atlanta's Alliance Theatre before what is expected to be a Broadway run.

The book has been adapted for the stage by playwright Marsha Norman, who wrote "`night, Mother" as well as the book for the musical version of "The Secret Garden." The score for "The Color Purple" is by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray.

The musical, a joint venture with New York-based Creative Battery and Scott Sanders Productions, will open the Alliance's 2004-2005 season for a five-week run, Sept. 9-Oct. 17. Opening night has tentatively been set for Sept. 17, according to Sanders.

The show is directed by Gary Griffin. No casting has been announced.
