    The new movie made me come back to this . The movie was amazing but I missed this song…especially being sung by the great Heather Headley , my all time favorite Shug Avery❤ That hum into the kiss is just….❤

      She is the best Shug in the musical. Heather is an amazing talent. I wish they would have gotten her to play Shug, honestly.

      The hum into the kiss … yesyesyess. Her voice is so warm ugh I miss her Shug all the time aswell

    In my opinion Heather was the best Shug Avery. Excellent performance!!

    For me, the chemistry between Heather and Cynthia was the best thing about this particular production. We all have our favorite Celies and Shugs, and that's all good. But there was something very special about the *combination* of Heather and Cynthia. They both became something more on that stage together.

      To me, Heather as Shug was so over protective, loving (even in love & attracted to) to her, and gentle toward Cynthia as Cely.

    Her turning that hum into a kiss on the head was too good

    I’ve been feeling depressed and at my lowest. Over 10k in debt, no job, feeling ugly... gay! In a pandemic! My anxiety is off the rails. I played this over and over for the part when heather hugs Cynthia. I just want someone to hug me like that.

    Every small details that Heather added is so beautiful. Just like the small movement of her hands and her fingers. It tells a story, an emotion

      so true. The lifting of the head after a few beats. I compared to Hudson and it's like night and day. Heather is like a fine aged wine....so good.

    I've always been the kind of gal
    That had a lot to say.
    I says the things that's on my mind,
    Too dumb to shy away.
    But you hush my mouth and still me
    With a song i've never heard.
    I guess that means that you are just
    Too beautiful for words.
    I've seen this life from high and low
    And all that's in between.
    I danced with dukes, crooned with counts,
    Been courted like a queen.
    But when i see what's in your heart,
    All the past is blurred.
    The grace you bring into this world's
    Too beautiful for words.
    You hide your head under your wing
    Just like a little bird.
    Oh, don't you know you're beautiful,
    Too beautiful for words?
    Celie, you're too beautiful for words

      In the book the late great Alice Walker knew what she was doing. These women shared that bond that was emotional and that manifested itself into a physical love. Tho they didn’t end up together it was known that they were a couple. I applauded the musical for bringing this into the forefront and staying true to the book. The movie was excellent but the musical was magic. I loved it. It told the story beautifully.

That whispered, "You're beautiful!" I felt like she was talking to me, which is probably why I've watched this over 100x..

    @mayadoly3576 3 місяці тому

    honestly i feel like this is where celie fell in love with shug and also possibly where shug started to feel for celie in that way because celie had been called ugly her whole life and now, finally, she’s being called beautiful by this woman she perceives to be more attractive than her

    Yeah J HUD seemed too polished. The older famous lady who returned to Bway came off as too mature. Even Taraji does. Heather seems perfect. She seems like she’s had a past but has to push through to survive and knows how to fight and have sex.
