Question
I know it says that you don't answer questions on musisal theatre, but I'm not
asking a question about songs or the such.  My question is thus: I have been
trying for the longest time to find "Let it Sing" sheet music/vocal selections/
the score or anything that has "Let it Sing" from Violet in it.  I have only been
able to come up with sound recordings thus far.  I was wondering, with your
expertise in theatre history if you may know of any place that would have
this.  I checked my college's music library and also some libraries in the area
as well (to the best of my knowledge) the internet.  Any assistance you could
give is greatly needed and much appreciated!

Thanks,
Matthew

Answer
Well, Matthew, you stumped me.  "Violet" was written by Jeanine Tesori and Brian Crawley, as I'm sure you know, but it does not appear that the score has been published.

I recommend you contact either Playwright's Horizon or the Gallery Players in NY.  Playwright's Horizon produced the original production, and Gallery Players produced a revival last winter.  They might be able to help you.
