Not sure if you're joking or not, but Alice Walker wrote the book, Menno Meyjes wrote the screenplay for the movie, Marsha Norman wrote the book for the Broadway musical, Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray wrote the music and lyrics for the Broadway musical and Marcus Gardley wrote the screenplay for the movie of the musical. That's a lot of successfully employed writers. It's a fantastic story and as a huge fan of the 1985 film, I think it's wonderful that we have all these incarnations.
Take care,
