I just came to a stunning realization that I am a Color Purple groupie. This is like the third time I've waited outside the stage door. Sigh. This picture is with the awesome LaChanze who won a Tony for her role as Celie. She was just incredible. She made me cry with some suberb acting and singing. Worth the 3 hours in line? Hell yeah! We were also seated dead center on the front row which is more than I could ask for in a $26 ticket.

and Eric Christian (Swing) -- who played the Older Adam tonight.

Is there a twinkling in their eyes? Are they happy to see me, as I of them?
