I usually encourage people who like theatre to research smaller low key musicals because you never know what you'll find. I tell people this because I am a firm believer that every show has something for you to learn and discover about people. 9 out 10 times when you are sitting in the audience you identify with the situations that those characters are going through. Violet the Musical is an example of one of those shows that has a lot to say. If you are not familiar with this musical I highly encourage that you check the soundtrack out.
Violet is about vanity, healing, and perceptions. It contains a great message to teens about self-acceptance and it has a unique Southern heart to it which makes it memorable.
Billy Porter currently has a CD out with Soulful Broadway tunes, and on it he sings a song from the show called Let it Sing (which is available on itunes). It's a beautiful song and to me it is about breaking away from whatever holds you back from living your life.
