TAMMY FAYE will transfer to Broadway in 2024-2025 Season — Page 4

I think today was the first day I saw all-Tammy. Prior to that it was Platt all day & night. Surely they alternate?


I vaguely recall phillypinto. Were they the Honeymoon In Vegas shill?

Not sure which is more depressing a musical about a con woman who ripped off poor people in the name of Jesus or the Queen of Versailles about a maga woman ripping people off to spend time with Trump at mar a Lago

I'm not convinced that Tammy Faye was a con woman. Hugely naive, yes, but I don't believe she was aware of the scams that Jim Bakker pulled. Her trusting nature and compassion for others despite popular opinions at the time., is also what makes her an interesting figure. Tammy's first big song in the show, at least in London, 'Right Kind of Faith' is all about that and is one of my favourites in the score

Certainly in the Film 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' which is based on the same material this is, it's clear that she was kept out of all the business stuff, they were meant to be wives and mothers only in those days, though it's only briefly referenced in the musical.

100% agree! Because the show had been quite energetic up until that point, it was the first time that there was only 1 person on stage, and there was a stillness in the audience. You know there is a song coming, the first big solo number in the show. You have an amazing lead in, setting the song up and then she just blew everyone away. The whole thing was so well written and staged to make it the big moment that it was.

How does one pin a message board reply.

The fact that they have months to prepare for Broadway, and tickets are already on sale puts them ahead of most. I’ve seen ads online for it. Gets it in people’s heads early.

Tammy Faye may or may not have been complicit in the financial dealings of Jim Bakker. She did have a side of her that was praiseworthy. At a time when most evangelicals in the 80s were openly condemning of the gay community during the AIDS crisis, Tammy Faye supported victims of the plague. https://www.intomore.com/entertainment/film/exclusive-clip-tammy-faye-bakker-queer-ally/

Andrew Rannells apparently announced on the red-carpet he is out of Tammy Faye as they couldn't agree to "terms."

Any idea what happened?

Wondering if he has a new tv gig lined up! So who replaces him???


Gavin Creel, Christian Borle, Aaron Tveit…

You’d have thought that would have been sorted out before.. ya know.. announcing him being in the show.

He too said it was odd he was announced before a contract had been signed...

He was the only reason I wanted go. Glad I didn’t buy tickets yet.

What an odd situation- did they assume similar terms to what he had in London and then he asked for more?
