The Alice Walker novel was adapted into a film of the same name in 1985, directed by Steven Spielberg, and starred Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey, among others. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards, it won none.

A musical adaptation of the novel opened on Broadway in December 2005. The show was produced by Scott Sanders, Quincy Jones, Harvey Weinstein, and Oprah Winfrey, who was also an investor. It was nominated for 11 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score Written for the Theater, and Best Leading Actress in a Musical (LaChanze). LaChanze won the Tony Award, though the show itself won no other awards.

In April 2007, Fantasia Barrino took over the role of Celie from LaChanze, until the Broadway production ended its run in early 2008.

The upcoming revival is set to begin performances November 9, with opening night set for Thursday, December 3.

The production has released a music video for the upcoming show, featuring 2 of its stars, Jennifer Hudson and Cynthia Erivo:
