The previously reported concert production of The Color Purple has been postponed until early 2021, Curve Leicester has announced today.

The show was due to reopen the theatre on 23 November but due to the government’s announcement of a second lockdown, the venue has taken the decision to delay the concert. Curve has asked ticket holders to be patient while new dates are finalised.

Curve has also had to cancelled its upcoming Community Day, Showstoppers’ Kids Show and Dear Santa events. However, it hopes to proceed with its productions of Sunset Boulevard (from 14 December) and Memoirs of an Asian Football Casual (from 25 January 2021).

Chief Executive Chris Stafford and Artistic Director Nikolai Foster said: "Although we are disappointed, we are determined Curve will reopen as soon as possible and we can’t wait for the day we can all come together and see a show in our newly configured Covid-safe, in-the-round theatre.

"Until then, we send strength and solidarity to everyone across our industry who is working tirelessly to bring back theatre, our fantastic communities and our extraordinary team."
