Tammy Faye: A New Musical

Music by Elton John Lyrics by Jake Shears Book by James Graham Directed by Rupert Goold “It’s time to bring America back to God“ From a studio in South Carolina, Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker revolutionised religion. Preaching to millions 24 hours a day, Tammy just wants to put the fun back into faith. But a new wave of ministers wants you not to just feel God in your heart, but in your homes, in your schools and in the law too. Tammy Faye is a “divinely delirious glitz-bomb of a musical“ (Financial Times) from legendary songwriter Elton John, Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears and award-winning writer James Graham (Ink, BBC’s Sherwood), featuring Olivier Award-winner Katie Brayben (Beautiful) as Tammy Faye and Tony Award-nominee Andrew Rannells (The Book of Mormon, Girls) as Jim. Directed by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold (Spring Awakening), this “spectacularly entertaining“ (New York Times) true story, is a testament of faith, resilience and the temptations of success.
