New Tammy Faye Bakker musical with Elton John songs.

The musical is based on the life of '80s televangelist Tammy Faye Baker. The official synopsis states, “From a studio in South Carolina, Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker revolutionized 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.”

The team assembling the musical consists of Tom Deering (music supervision, arrangements, and more music). Plus, it features Deering and Mark Dickman for orchestrations, Bunny Christie for scenic design, Katrina Lindsay for costume designs, Neil Austin for lighting, and Bobby Aitken for sound design.
