Violet is a heartfelt, soul-stirring musical that follows a young woman’s journey of self-discovery across the American South in 1964. With a childhood scar across her face, Violet seeks healing from a televangelist, but along the way, she forms unexpected bonds with two soldiers who challenge her perceptions of beauty and acceptance. Featuring a rich, folk- and gospel-infused score by Jeanine Tesori, Violet is a deeply moving story about resilience, love, and embracing one’s inner strength. A powerful and impactful story, this musical delivers an unforgettable emotional journey.
