Vancouver songstress and actor Krystle Dos Santos\, whose extraordinary commanding\, powerful and rich voice\, brings to life Viola Desmond by using a dynamic and inspirational live musical soundtrack from the 1930s to 1960s. With the support of musicians Chris Davis\, Steven Charles and Jen Lewin\, Krystal explores the many facets of this incredible woman through stories and song in a jazz-style cabaret. \nHey Viola! could not be more relevant in this time of Civil Rights\, Black Lives Matter\, and Women’s Rights movements. As the newest face on Canada’s ten-dollar bill\, Viola Desmond’s life is an important Canadian story. This multi-faceted person is brought to life through an interactive conversation with the audience. Best known for her courage to stand up to systemic racial injustices in Canada when she refused to leave the whites-only section of Nova Scotia’s Roseland cinema in 1946\, she was also a feminist and successful businesswoman as a beauty product icon. \nTeaming up to create this work are two immense talents: Tracey Power and Krystle Dos Santos.

Her story is an important message to share … audiences really open up to her experience and feel a connection to her as a person through this production.” \nThe show features iconic songs\, including: I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire\, Dream A Little Dream\, This Train\, On the Sunny Side of the Street\, Tomorrow is my Turn\, A Kiss to Build a Dream On\, A Change is Gonna Come\, Sinnerman\, Trouble In Mind\, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood\, Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around\, Smile\, Feeling Good\, Mississippi Goddam\, and I Wish I Knew How It would Feel to be Free. \n“Hey Viola! gives us a surprisingly in-depth portrait of an extraordinary woman\, a pioneering Canadian entrepreneur and reluctant civil rights hero and martyr…first-rate entertainment\, a story of hard-earned hope generously told with artistry and class.” – Vancouver Sun \n“Raw\, genuine\, and emotional”- Broadway World \n90 min – no intermission.
