The Tammy Faye Bakker Musical

Featuring a cast of ten and a four piece rock band!

A cultural icon for more than thirty years, Tammy Faye Bakker's phenomenal rise from farm girl to evangelist superstar has finally been put onstage with a terrific pop-country score. Her unique style has made her beloved by mainstream Christians, as well as by gays and other outsiders whom she welcomed under her "big tent." In this ninety minute, six character musical, we follow Tammy as she fights to maintain her dignity amidst sex and business scandals. Her perseverance in the face of private tragedy and public ridicule has made her a testament to the endurance of the human spirit.

Casting info will be announced soon!

It's FREE! Please RSVP at [e-mail]

Sad to say it - and I know Tammy Faye personally - but Cheno would really be perfect.

Oh yea! She totally would. (I read that wrong first and thought you wrote Charo... haha... that'd be an interesting choice!)

Um, Cheno IS Tammy Faye -- in every aspect and even in her religious ideals.

She is perfect. I think Amy Spanger would be pretty great too.
