Melbourne Season for Violet.

Blue Saint Productions have announced the Melbourne premiere season of VIOLET, to be presented at Chapel off Chapel from March 3-20, 2016.

VIOLET is a musical from Tony Award-winning composer Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Caroline or Change) with a libretto by Brian Crawley (The Little Princess). Featuring anthems ranging from gospel to soul to bluegrass, it follows a truly original young woman (Violet Karl) who on her quest across America (from North Carolina to Oklahoma) for divine intervention finds a very different kind of salvation. If Chekhov, Lena Dunham and Aretha Franklin conspired to write a musical, this would be it.

This Australian production of VIOLET premiered at Sydney's Hayes Theatre, where it plays until December 20, 2015. Three-time Helpmann Award winner Mitchell Butel directs VIOLET, with musical direction by Lucy Bermingham (Strictly Ballroom, Guilty Pleasures), choreography by Amy Campbell (Guilty Pleasures, SYTYCD), costume design by Lucetta Stapleton (High Society), set design by Simon Greer (Man of La Mancha) and lighting design by Ross Graham (Sweet Charity, Avenue Q).

The Melbourne cast will include Samantha Dodemaide (Anything Goes, Sweet Charity), Steve Danielsen (Wicked, Legally Blonde), Barry Conrad (X Factor), Damien Bermingham (Chicago, Strictly Ballroom), Katie Elle-Reeve (Hair), Ryan Gonzalez (Strictly Ballroom, Legally Blonde) and introducing Luisa Scrofani as Young Violet.
