That feeling of closing a chapter of your life, screaming an anthem of love and saying goodbye in such a real and intense way. Being able to expel that much emotion in song. That’s the beauty of live theatre, and I weep in awe and sadness at the familiarity of that feeling

When she gets choked up on "everything that I need to live a bountiful life" is when I absolutely lost it. I was already tearing up but after that they were flowing. Phenomenal isn't a good enough word to describe her.

Cynthia is a force of nature. The most brilliant star of stars. I had the utmost pleasure of experiencing her talent in person at a performance of The Color Purple. In the 25 years of seeing broadway shows, I never witnessed a spontaneous, riotous standing ovation before the finale. It was an out-of-body experience.

there are no words to express how much music brings people together. not only did this performance execute her dedication, love, joy, spirit, soul and heart, but it brought out the support and joy and love an emotions from the audience. there was never a dull moment in this performance. every word showed celie’s broken and bruised spirt. every note showed cynthia’s connection with her character. THIS is a performance. this is what “theatre kids” in highschools work to become. this is what we dream to do. we dream to build this bond with our characters and audience. every second of this performance grabs you up and doesnt let you go. not even after you watch it. the chills from the pain she is sharing, is overwhelming, but so true and honest. unbelievable.

Ms. Erivo is absolutely amazing. Emotions everywhere is our theatre classroom right now. All I wanna know is how is it possible that they were allowed to have their phones backstage and we are never allowed to have our phones backstage. But I guess I understand that they knew how important this night was and they caught it in the right moment. I'm still a little jealous though😂

I see & hear this video everyday, & I never get tired of watching this video. Whoever filmed this video, thank you for posting this video here on You Tube, to share with the world a back stage POV of Cynthia’s final time singing “I’m here”. I don’t know if this makes sense, but when Cynthia sang this song in this video, and she choked up on a certain part, I feel like she’s singing with her heart & soul for me. She sang my life story of being bullied in all of the schools I went to, but I have the strength to be a successful human being with lots of family of friends at my church and work place, plus many dreams continue to come true for me. That’s great for the cast to cheer Cynthia on, in fact, somebody said, “Take your time. Take your time”, during the long round of applause from the audience. I admire & envy the cast of TCP for being blest to perform with Cynthia every night as Cely. ❤😪👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎭👟👡👢👞🥾👠🥿
