Tammy’s coming to Broadway! Rehearsals are now underway for the Broadway premiere of TAMMY FAYE, which will begin preview performances on October 19 at the newly refurbished Palace Theater.
TAMMY FAYE features music by legendary songwriter Elton John, lyrics by Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, a book by Olivier Award-winning writer James Graham, choreography by Lynne Page, and direction by Olivier Award-winner Rupert Goold.
It’s the 1970s, and for the very first time, satellites are bringing cable television into American homes. As families gather in their living rooms, young preacher Jim Bakker and his wife Tammy Faye hit the airwaves to build a nationwide congregation and put the fun back in faith. But while Tammy dazzles on screen, rivals plot behind the scenes, jealous of her popularity and threatened by her determination to lead with love.
In this video, watch as two-time Olivier award winner Katie Brayben performs “Empty Hands” in the recording studio.
