New Role For Michelle Wiiliams of Destiny’s Child
Michelle Williams of the R&B group Destiny’s Child is joining the Chicago production of The Color Purple.
Williams will play the role of Shug Avery, a sexy blues singer. One of the musical’s producers is Oprah Winfrey, who played the part of Sofia in the 1985 film that also starred Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover.
Producer Scott Sanders said casting Williams as Shug Avery seemed like a natural choice because Shug is the one character in the musical who has “seen the world.”
Williams previously performed the title role in Aida on Broadway.
