I guess it's the lighting used thats giving the purple cast.
Outside of the image, I'm sure it would of been enjoyable to watch.

Not to pile on, but it's clipped at both ends and has a distinct color cast which you can't always avoid in theatrical settings. But it isn't in focus which makes everything else worse. Might be semi-repairable in raw except for the focus problem.

I usually take a monopod to these shows and brace it between by knees with it extended just enough to get the camera to eye level while sitting. It works wonders and you can get good sharp shots with that setup.

Also needs a bit of sharpening and horizontaling.. Yes the colour cast is distracting..

I would check your white balance settings and see if you can eliminate the color cast and also straighten the photo a tad to the right.
