I've always been a huge admirer of Tammy Faye so this is great news. And I'm a big fan of both Elton John & Jake Shears so this is very exciting to me.
But it makes me wonder what happened to the other Tammy Faye musical that was in development about 10 years ago? That one was called Rise & had a score by Henry Krieger. Kristin Chenoweth played Tammy Faye in the workshop & she talked about it a lot in interviews. Jeffrey Sellers & Kevin McCollum had also signed on as producers.
I'm down with any Tammy Faye musical though. I would consider going to London to see this. It's intriguing that it's playing such an intimate venue too.
