The Color Purple 1985
Comments: This was a good performance that really had my attention , It felt like it was filmed like a movie. The set up, environment, costumes, makeup and filming angles make this visually pleasing. The main woman singing also has a unique voice that lures you in and also compliments her appearance in the scene. You can feel a connection between the main singer and the woman at the table, makes you want to know more about the story.

Comments: In the second video shown for The Color purple (the Broadway edition), we see a more modern spin on what seems to be the same story. The composition of the song being sung about half way through the video, is really well put together. I definitely prefer the songs in the Broadway edition, would've wanted to see another singing scene from the previous version for a better comparison. I do however, like the setup more in the 1985 version since it helps better set the mood in my opinion.

Comments: This overall feels more simplistic in comparison to the others I have seen but not necessarily in a bad way. The set up is very minimalistic leaving the focus on the performers.
I am a fan of how everyone is dressed reminiscent of the old time with big bows and cute hats.
The cast is also dressed colorfully for the most part, helping further draw your attention.
