The Color Purple, starring Taraji P. Henson, Fantasia Barrino, and Danielle Brooks premieres December 25
A new trailer for The Color Purple trades sentiment for sensation by putting the spotlight on Taraji P. Henson as Shug Avery, the larger-than-life jazz singer who changes Celie’s life forever. Henson burns the house down in full flapper regalia belting her rendition of “Push Da Button,” which can be heard in full when the musical premieres in theaters on December 25.
Henson, Oscar-nominated for her role in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, has dabbled in the musical world before, most recently playing Miss Hannigan in NBC’s Annie Live! “I remember being approached when it was on Broadway about auditioning for Shug, and I totally punked out,” Henson said during an appearance at CinemaCon. “When it came around again, I figured, ‘one and done’ that’s something that my voice can handle.
