Big things are on the horizon for Danielle Brooks — not that it’s easy to get much bigger than “Orange is the New Black.” But the woman we’ve come to love as Tastyee is taking her talents from Netflix to the big stage to star in the Broadway adaption of “The Color Purple.”
Brooks is slated to play Sofia alongside Jennifer Hudson who’s been cast as Shug Avery and breakout London star, Cynthia Erivo, who will portray Celie. Opening night for the grand production will be Thursday, December 10, with previews beginning November 9. Tickets go on sale July 2.
