Violet
Book by
Brian Crawley
Music by
Jeanine Tesori
Lyrics by
Brian Crawley
Based on The Ugliest Pilgrim by Doris Betts
Two Acts, Book Musical, Pop / Rock, Rated PG
Original Off-Broadway version
Set in 1964 in the Deep South during the early days of the Civil Rights Movement, VIOLET
follows the growth and enlightenment of a bitter 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.
One of the most acclaimed off-Broadway shows of the ’90s, VIOLET
astounded critics and audiences with its powerful story, its energetic,
toe-tapping Gospel, Rock, Country, and Rhythm and Blues score by Jeanine Tesori, and its well-crafted book and lyrics by Brian Crawley
that are not afraid to deal with important, sensitive issues. Its
simple set and modest cast and orchestra requirements adjust to any
scale production. VIOLET features a strong ensemble cast with bravura roles for the two leads.
