"The Color Purple" opens at the Mahalia Jackson Theater on Tuesday, but for months leading up to its New Orleans stop, the show has been raising money in cities across the country to help families displaced by Katrina.

The opening is indeed tonight and a good number of people I know will be going. The weather unfortunately is very inclement so I hope is does not deter more from attending.
It pains me to read about these theaters that still have yet to get the funding to be refurbished,the Orpheum in particular, is such a gorgeous building. I've been told that the Saenger,the one I probably have been inside the most has work underway.
