West End stars Marisha Wallace, Wendy Mae Brown, Cavin Cornwall, Tyrone Huntley and Hugh Maynard have reunited with the British Theatre Academy (BTA) ensemble from their critically acclaimed production of “ The Color Purple In Concert “ to record the title song on video as a fundraiser for the Academy.
The BTA offers free and affordable theatre opportunities to young performers. Donations will provide free bursary places at the Academy , with an emphasis on places for young artists with a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic background .
The original concert was staged at the Cadogan Hall in 2017. This extract is directed by Danielle Tarento, with musical direction by James Taylor.
I watched the short video and Marisha has a soaring, electrifying voice and passion to match and it’s a few minutes that will lift your spirits and all in a good cause. Please donate.
