That is most certainly not Carol Dennis who is a very dear friend of mine. She was the original Church Soloist and you can hear her on the Original cast album singing the opening song. So... and In my opinion as well as many others.. she is a hard act to follow. As a matter of fact this particular role was created for Carol Dennis .
I just seen the play again and none of them even can compare to the New Church Soloist! This new cast for the most part is hands down the best cast that Ever played The Color Purple!
@goodmusic03 - i ACTUALLY MET THEM BACK STAGE , AND TOOK PICS WITH THEM! i HONESTY THINK THE new CAST HAS MORE ENERGY.. but THE new Celie , is kind of SOFT SPOKEN , AND SOFT WITH HER POWERHOUSE VOICE..
Well adrianna5000 I think she did great. I mean if she wasn't great why would they hire her. She did it with her own style and I mean we wouldn't want everyone doing the same thing or tht would be a very boring play. So OBVIOUSLY they wanted different and they got different. She has a very powerful wonderful voice, but thanks for your opinion.
Although this is an amazing clip, and the woman playing the Church Lady can obviously sing, I saw the original Church Lady Carol Dennis on Broadway and her equally amazing replacement LaKisha Jones from American Idol fame, open the show with Mysterious Ways (this very song), and they were FANTASTIC. I don't think that NOBODY can compare to those two great singers..EVER!.
@adrianna5000 actually after watching the video this is prob the touring company but alot of the originals from the broadway cast were on the tour as well. That for sure is Carol Dennis though!
@adrianna5000 I HONESTLY AGREE BUT PRAISE GOD FOR HERE ATTEMPT, BUT ONCE U KNOW R HAVE A STANDARD OF SOMEONE YOU WONT SETTLE FOR LESS R ANYTHING BENEATH THAT STANDARD WILL STICK OUT AND IM NOT KNOCKING HER CUZ IF SHE COULDNT DO IT THE PRODUCERS WOULDNT HAVE PUT HER ON THE FOREFRONT 2 PERFORM IT
Do you have any other clips of the show? I'd love to see Uh Oh! :)
