Violet Cast Announced for MTG
Musical Theatre Guild will close out the 2009 season with the LA premiere of Violet, the spellbinding 1997 gem by Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Mille, Caroline or Change) on June 15. Developed at New York’s Playwrights Horizons Theater, Violet covers the emotional road trip of a scarred young woman - and two handsome soldiers - traveling towards a T.V. preacher who supposedly will make her beautiful. The score is clever and heartfelt, with gospel, R&B and country influences.
Richard Israel will direct, with musical direction by Alby Potts and choreography by Shauna Markey. The cast will include Dane Biren, Jill Marie Burke, Dan Callaway, Karole Foreman, Gordon Goodman, Christopher Warren Gilbert, Maggie Herskowitz, Tracy Lore, Brandon Michael Perkins, Josh Tower, and Shannon Warne.
