I attended the Broadway musical, The Color Purple in 2007 and watched Fantasia as she played the role of Celie. This was early in her career but I did enjoy the show. As I watched the new adaptation on the big screen recently, I realized how much she has perfected her craft. Her performance was great considering this was her first major film. The choreography , music, acting and actors were superb. My emotions had me laughing, crying, sad and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it !!!
