Deaf Broadway's Waitress, Summer for the City 2025; photo by Lawrence Sumulong

Performed in American Sign Language (ASL) by a full Deaf Broadway cast and accompanied by the original Broadway cast album, Jeanine Tesori’s Violet tells the story of a young woman’s quest for beauty amidst the image-obsessed landscape of the 1960s. Facially disfigured in a childhood accident, Violet dreams of a miraculous transformation through the power of faith. Convinced that a televangelist in Oklahoma can heal her, she boards a Greyhound bus and starts the journey of a lifetime. Winner of the Drama Critics' Circle Award, Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical, and nominated for a Tony, Violet features show-stopping anthems, ranging from American roots to folk to gospel, with a score from Tony-winning composer and Lincoln Center Visionary Artist Jeanine Tesori and book and lyrics by the acclaimed Brian Crawley. Deaf Broadway, synonymous with authentically Deaf musical theater, returns to Lincoln Center after their previous smash productions of RENT (pictured above) and Waitress: The Musical. This remarkable company is guided by their overlying mission to provide unprecedented visual access to classic musical works of the American theater for those whose primary and native language is American Sign Language, creating a more equitable shared evening for hearing and Deaf audiences alike.
