We are just over a week away from getting the chance to see our favorite televised pastor and his wife take the stage in Tammy Faye at the newly refurbished Palace Theatre but until then, we have a sneak peak of two time Olivier-winner Katie Brayben singing "Empty Hands" from the new musical.
It's the 1970s. As satellites broadcast brand-new cable programming into American homes, millions fall in love with Tammy Faye Bakker – the charismatic wife of pastor Jim Bakker. Together, they build a nationwide congregation that puts the fun back into faith. But, even as Tammy dazzles on screen, jealous rivals plot behind the scenes, threatened by her determination to lead with love.
Directed by Rupert Goold and with music by Elton John, lyrics by Jake Shears, and a book by James Graham, Tammy Faye begins previews October 19, 2024 before an official opening night on November 14.
Besides Brayben, the company includes Christian Borle, Michael Cerveris, Autumn Hurlbert, Nick Bailey, Charl Brown, Mark Evans, Allison Guinn, Ian Lassiter, Raymond J. Lee, Max Gordon Moore, Alana Pollard, Andy Taylor, Amanda Clement, Michael Di Liberto, Jonathan Duvelson, Lily Kaufmann, Denis Lambert, Elliott Mattox, Brittany Nicholas, Kevin Quillon, Aveena Sawyer, Allysa Shorte, TJ Tapp, Daniel Torres, and Dana Wilton.
