It's a musical now?

The book was fantastic.
The movie was probably not for everyone, but was good too. (Included Whoopie Goldberg and Oprah in the cast) The movie wasn't a musical, so I don't know how that will work out.

It deals with a lot of different things, including rape, racism, love, and self-discovery.
I'd say it's worth going to see it, even if only to see how they interpreted it as a musical. Like I said, the story itself was fantastic.

I thought the movie was good! It's also heart wrenching.
