Musical

Ossie Davis, Phillip Rose and Peter Udell

Music by Peter Udell

Lyrics by Gary Geld

Based on the play Purlie Victorious by Ossie Davis

Purlie Victorious, that strutting, new fangled preacher man is back home and he wants a church and he wants freedom. Witty, memorable music and a whole lotta of fun unfold as Purlie outmaneuvers ol' Colonel and gets his girl Lutiebelle (or she gets him!). From the composers of Shenandoah.

"The book is so strong, the performance so magnificent, that this musical should have you calling out "Hallelujah!" -The New York Times

"A robust, tuneful and thoroughly enjoyable musical comedy, with dandy songs."-New York Daily News
