The essentials: Set in the 1960s, this Tony-nominated musical traces the journey of a disfigured young woman on a long bus ride through the South. En route to a televangelist she hopes will help her, she befriends two soldiers with new notions of what it means to be beautiful.
Why this? Jeanine Tesori, one of the most celebrated female composers on Broadway (“Fun Home,” “Caroline, or Change”), wrote the music for this unjustly neglected show, which premiered off-Broadway in 1997. Director and choreographer Kari Hayter, who staged “Parade” at the Chance last season, has brought on board many team members from that production — a creative combination that should do justice to this underserved material.”
