At the center of the ensemble is Andrea Fleming whose portrayal of Celie rises to that of a dazzling bravura performance. She is magnificent in the role, measuring the evolution of her character and her voice until, in the moment of her jubilant self-affirmation (I'm Here), her powerhouse vocals rise heavenward and lift the audience off their seats

As Celie, Andrea Fleming's portrayal, just like the character, is small, controlled, and quiet at first, with downcast eyes and darting looks, then becomes bigger and blossoms once Sophia and Shrug come into her life. Fleming also beautifully captures Celie's growth and the changes, from teenage years to mid-50s. Her solo, "I'm Here," explodes with power, emotion and passion. It's a moving and inspiring performance of this moving and inspiring character.
Gil BenbrookTalkin Broadway Beef & Boards' 'Joseph' an amazingly colorful performance
... "As the narrator, Andrea Fleming energetically captivates the audience as she takes them through the story, from “Jacob and Sons” all the way through the curtain call. Tim Wessel shows why Joseph may be his father’s favorite. His vocal talents and dynamic performance as the title character dazzles almost as much as his coat of many colors. Given their prominent roles, Fleming and Wessel are obvious standouts, but they’re backed by a massively talented ensemble cast." ...
