About the showMusic by Will Reynolds

The Violet Hour is a musical about fate, ambition, and the urge to glimpse into the future.
Set on April 1, 1919, in New York City, it captures a moment of promise and possibility. At this moment in time, many Americans believed the worst events of the modern world were behind them and the rest of the 20th Century was destined to be bright.
But when a young publisher gains access to information about the future, he learns what lies ahead of his own life, the lives of his closest friends, and the world at large.
And he must grapple with an impossible question: Should knowing what happens tomorrow change how you live today?
With a cast of five and a single set, The Violet Hour blends musical comedy, drama, historical fiction, and fantasy into a story about time, consequence, and the choices that shape our lives.
Based on the play by the late Tony-Award-winning playwright Richard Greenberg, the Studio Cast Recording of The Violet Hour was named "The Best Cast Recording of the Year” by the Broadway Radio Show and declared "Essential listening for any true musical theatre fan" by Broadway World.
The album stars Santino Fontana, Erika Henningsen, Jeremy Jordan, Solea Pfeiffer, and Brandon Uranowitz and has been streamed millions of times.
