NEW YORK (AP) — Elton John's musical about televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker is coming to Broadway from London.
“Tammy Faye” will land in New York City during the 2024-25 season, producers said Friday. John wrote the music, while Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears penned the lyrics
The musical was nominated for four 2023 Olivier Awards, including best musical, but lost the musical crown to “Standing at the Sky’s Edge.” The story is by James Graham with direction by Rupert Goold.
Bakker, who died of cancer in 2007 at age 65, has captivated popular culture. Her story was told in the RuPaul-narrated documentary “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” and that was turned into a Hollywood movie that snagged Jessica Chastain her first Oscar for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye" opposite Andrew Garfield.
In England, Olivier Award-winner Katie Brayben played Bakker, with Tony Award-nominee Andrew Rannells as her first husband, Jim Bakker. Casting for the Broadway version was not announced.

Lol
Have you watched the Righteous Gemstones? It is must see TV.
What are you talking about, Joan of Arc and Tammy Faye Bakker being the same thing?
Joan of Arc is a famous person in European history, military history, and in Christian history.
Tammy Faye is only big to homosexuals and leftists, and only because she is useful to their agenda.

I'm going to ask you a question.
500 years from now, who will be the more noble woman, Joan of Arc or Tammy Faye Bakker?
My guess is Joan, Tammy Faye will be seen as a comical grifter.
That's why I posted this thread, Tammy Faye is comical, not heroic, but you have a burr up your you know what, about anything I post.
I came home from college one day to witness the next-door neighbors having all of their furniture and possessions hauled out by a moving van. Turns out they were obligated to make good on a monetary pledge to PTL, which they could not afford.
Did Joan of Arc send the moving vans to clean out the homes of the faithful?
I have no idea why you keep attacking me, post 3 was valid and true.
You decided you wanted to report on this new Broadway play and I posted my opinion on how the left works, why do you think they are putting this nobody as the subject of a new Broadway play?

Thank you for the post, ansel doesn't get irony, the show will probably bomb, because everybody knew Tammy was a grifter.
Oh you poor snowflake, god bless you.
What is with you?
If you have a problem with post 3 then why don’t explain what is inaccurate about it?
Do you know how many Broadway shows have bombed?
I'll give you the answer, about 98% of them.
That has nothing to do with my observation of how the left works, they do this constantly with TV shows and movies, plays, books, and all kinds of opinion-shaping formats that they have little to no hope they will make a profit, but they do contribute to keeping the opinion-shaping subject in the public eye and in the public mind.
You never noticed any of this and thought this kind of thing was purely profit-driven?
And why do you watch, xeerer, back in the 70's Elton John was one of the biggest stars, all I did was comment on how this show is going to bomb, are you a money backer for this bomb.
You never answered reply #31.
Yes, I did, and why do you get so upset and come after me when I insult the left?
What about my posts has sent you into this personal attack and anger? Point out what in my posts has made you so angry.
Yes it is. They are doing this to denigrate Christianity, much like how the leftist media drags out the Emmett Till murder to keep the flames of racial strife stoked.
The left works very hard to work things into the fabric of American life and keep them there.
Tammy Bakker stole 1/1,000,000th what the Global Warming cult has stolen.
