Violet was facially disfigured as a child and it has shaped her life, she remembers and sees the reactions of the people she meets from day to day. Determined to make a change, Violet decides to take her life savings and head from North Caroline halfway across the US to Oklahoma where she hopes to find a miraculous cure. The people she meets along the way are sure to mould her in ways she didn’t expect, but what will she find waiting for her at the end of her road?
Based on Doris Betts’ short story The Ugliest Pilgrim the musical Violet made its initial debut off-Broadway. Having won multiple awards for Best Musical after its Off-Broadway premiere, the Broadway revival of this touching musical was nominated for 4 Tony Awards. Now Violet makes its way to London’s Charing Cross Theatre for its UK premiere.
Violet has a book and lyrics by Brian Crawley and music by the incredibly talented Jeanine Tesori. Her score for the musical Fun Home, written along with Lisa Kron won a Tony Award for Best Orginal Score. Jeanine Tesori has also been nominated for Tony Awards for Caroline, Or Change, Shrek The Musical and Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Due to the nature of the staging of Violet no latecomers will be admitted and there is no re-admittance once the performance has started.

Casting has been announced for the international co-production of Violet with Kaisa Hammarlund set to star in the lead role for the UK premiere. The award-winning Broadway musical opens at the Charing Cross Theatre on 14 January 2019 for a 12-week run.
