A tale of the power of self-acceptance and compassion, Violet takes audiences on a journey through the South during the Civil Rights era. As Violet journeys to receive what she hopes will be a miracle cure from a faith healer, she finds joy, heartache, and self-knowledge. Gospel, blues, and folk-inspired songs carry her through her tribulations towards a transformative embrace of her own flaws and scars.

There’s a war going on out there,” and Natasha, Pierre, Anatole, and an entire motley crew of Russians find themselves adrift in the city of Moscow as a comet enters the atmosphere. Pulled from a slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, this Tony Award-winning musical weaves together vivid stories of romance, intrigue, action, betrayal, and existential crisis, all to the tunes of a vibrant electropop score. Dave Malloy’s Great Comet offers audiences a classic tale wrapped in the most modern of packages. Come witness the wonder!
