Two-time Tony Award-winner Sutton Foster returns to Roundabout in the highly anticipated Broadway debut of the musical Violet, following the acclaimed concert performance at City Center Encores!

Donnell's Broadway credits include: Anything Goes (Drama Desk nomination), Jersey Boys.National tours: Wicked, Mamma Mia! Other NY credits: Love's Labor's Lost (Shakespeare in the Park); Merrily We Roll Along, Follies (Encores!); Meet Me in St. Louis (Irish Rep); Almost Heaven: Songs of John Denver. Regional: Edward Albee's Me, Myself and I (McCarter); Johnny Baseball(A.R.T.); Working, A Musical (Asolo Rep). Film/TV: Every Secret Thing, "Arrow," "Pan Am."

With a score of show-stopping anthems ranging from American-roots to folk to gospel, 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 hops a Greyhound bus and starts the journey of a lifetime. Along the way, Violet forms unlikely friendships with her fellow riders, who teach her about beauty, love, courage and what it means to be an outsider.
