If scar
tissue could sing, its music would be written by Jeanine Tesori with words by Brian Crawley. Rarely has a composer and lyricist
joined forces to produce as tender, touching and unconventional a musical about
the scars we bear – inside and out – as “Violet,” currently on stage at
Lakeland Civic Theatre.

The characters and the music in Violet are both complex and believable, creating a seamless work that is fully satisfying. As Violet and Finch grow closer, two people being judged by their outward appearance, the play concludes by saying “Yes” to a happy ending that feels fully earned.
