In the book, the movie, and the musical, this is one of my favorite scenes. When Celie finally stands up for herself, it's so wonderfully cathartic, you want to cheer for her, no matter the medium you're watching the story in.
Agreed
"I'm maybe poor, black and ugly... BUT, DEAR GOD, I'M HERE!!!"
That's the reference from the movie. Amazing show.
I know I'm probably being picky but it's not a reference to the movie really because the movie was quoting the book. And actually the movie missed out a lot of the emotional depth that the book had. Sorry if I come across as rude I don't mean to I just rarely see people appreciating the book and that's sad because without the book we wouldn't have had the film or the musical
@@macy2000 just finished the book and it was amazing.
Oh shit its been two years why am I bothering you
@@EC-vw6pd ahaha no worries! Glad you enjoyed the book
idk where she summoned that inner thug with the bending down and hand pointing and clapping but it was the best hood girl scene ever and I live for Cynthia.
You know where I can watch the full thing?
I could watch this a billion times
I love that Sophia just laughs at everything xD Its funny! Go Cynthia though!
SOFIA WAS GETTING HER LIFEEEEEE LMFAOOOOO
This was my favorite scene live! haha Celie went straight hood!
HOW I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!!! When she came for him with that chair...✊✊✊✊✊
sofia’s laugh i can’t 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Sofia gon' take care of dis"
😂 She is a hoot!
i love the “sophia gon’ take care of this” bit, like they all know they’re fucked when they’re left with sophia😂😂 nothing they could do about that
I can't wait to see her in Harriett
God the chills I just got all over again
real question is how does she find that first note
ha. for real
muscle memory. you do it for so long, just comes natural.
Maybe they had a pitch pipe backstage.
To be honest it a note that sits in the middle and is isnt anywhere insane so after doing it a couple times you kind of know where to start. same with if there is a song you sing with no music
I mean, it's a super easy musical part to remember. Each line of "I may be" is the same note, and it's in a conversational tone. By the time she's begun the music is there affirming her key anyways, so it's not hard.
"I maybe poor, I maybe black, I maybe ugly.... BUT, I'M HERE!"
OH MY DEAR GOD. I watched the brazilian version of the show, and I'm very happy to meet this AMAZING SHOW!
why did this not make the soundtrack :(
Music Is My Life Too short, and it is a special sung line exclusive for live audiences. Much like the “Laurens Interlude” in *Hamilton* .
Powerfull!
Mannnnn, when Celie came after Mister with that chair though!!!!
#SheWentStraightHood
i watched the movie first so i could see what to expect. i cried 3 times and guess what? Those 3 times were from the 3 leading ladies: I first cried with Sophia, with how fast the mayor incident changed her life because is the first woman that shows rejection to men manipulation on Celie's life; secondly i cried with Celie bc "i'm here" duh?; and thirdly i cried with Shug bc of her situation with her dad (that is not showed on the musical). The musical is incredible, but God, i cried more with the movie than the show. The show is so gentle in comparison to the movie.
2:00 best part that poor chair 🤣
The actress even sounds like Whoopi
Amazing.
Absolute favorite part
This was great acting 🎬
"I may be" (may be, two words). "Maybe" means something else.
UGHHH CHILLS
SHE SAID THAT!!!!
When Sofia said “I was born to take care of this” I think that means Albert gonna get a Madea ASS WHOOPIN
While I've loved everything else about Cynthia's performance as Celie, I feel like this is the one part that she pales in comparison to Fantasia's interpretation. Cynthia's Celie is strong and stoic, while Fantasia's is raw and emotionally transparent which I think works better for this particular scene.
I disagree cynthia's celie is more like the movie. She was stoic she was strong. I think cynthia brought something to this rile that no other celie before her as ever done. truly iconic.
Taka Ono I think Cynthia's Celie was meant to portray someone who had been emotionally numb from all the rape, abuse, and pain she felt over the years but she was intimidated into keeping her feelings to herself. This moment is essentially Celie finally coming out of her shell so maybe she doesn't know how to be fully emotional yet. I can't speculate as to who is better because I never saw Fantasia.
i wish i could understand the whole conversation in this part
Basically they’re all having Easter dinner. Shug Avery is back in town with her new husband, during this visit Celie and shug find all the letters from celie’s sister that the husband (“mister”) had been hiding from her for years. Shug finally realizes what a piece of shit mister is, celie reaches her breaking point and finally plans to leave to go back to Memphis with shug. In this scene during dinner, celie finally stands up for herself and tells mister off then finally leaves to have her new life away from her abusive husband. (I’ve never seen the show but I read the book, hope that helps!)
is that the girl that plays Taystee on Orange is the New Black?
Ronyae A yes
Ronyae A yes it is the gal that plays Taystee
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉yes!!!!
Yasssssssss
Kelli Lee she said horse.... sh*t...... lol
my fav is the song i maybe poor i but she is strong in your sorry head it marreg
Idk this particular scene I felt Cynthia was talking to fast. when fantasia did u can feel every word through her
Juliandstewart no need to compare them honestly . Besides who says it has to be said slow ?!?! That's what she brung to Celie !
That is true Everyone can bring something new and different to a character. Cynthia is an amazing singer and actress. They are completely different. In my opinion I thought it was a little bit to fast. You would have to pay really close attention to understand every word. To me it took away that one section that really changed Celie. The emotion of it.
Director probably wanted to change it up.
she wants to sing pa!!!

all these actors are amazing dont get me wrong, but this scene was done much more better by the original production. it had a lot more moments to laugh and cheer at

Why they change the set? Isn’t this the dinner scene? Where is the table???
Shakespeare style interpretation. You are to imagine a dinner table.
YOU GO CELIE!!! SHE SHOWED HIM!!! I DID NOT LIKE MISTER, EVEN IN THE MOVIE!!!
Oof 1:57
hate when people clap in the middle of scenes. Some theatre etiquette please?
Whoopi Goldberg was better in the role
