Winner of the Drama Critics’ Circle Award and Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical when it premiered Off-Broadway, Violet tells the powerful story of a young woman accidentally scarred by her father. In hopes that a TV evangelist can cure her, she embarks on a journey by bus from her sleepy North Carolina town to Oklahoma. Along the way, she meets a young black soldier who teaches her about beauty, love, courage and what it means to be an outsider. The musical features a show-stopping score that soars with American-roots, folk and gospel anthems from Jeanine Tesori (Caroline Or Change, Thoroughly Modern Millie and Shrek). Violet has astounded critics and audiences alike, making it one of the most acclaimed Off-Broadway shows of its time. The Chicago Tribune summed, “The story packs an uncommon emotional intensity of the kind that stays with you for years.”
