About the Show

With a book by Fernando Dovalina and music and lyrics by JT Buck, The Gospel According to Tammy Faye is based on a first-hand account on her life as told to the show's creators. The Gospel According to Tammy Faye tells the rags to riches to rags to redemption story of the most famous female televangelist in U.S. history, and features a mix of original music that ranges from gospel to disco to 70s pop to tango to soft country rock. The musical features a cast of characters that includes Jim Bakker, Jessica Hahn, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and Roe Messner, among others.

The musical made its world premiere in June 2006 as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival. In August 2006, the Columbia Gorge Repertory Theatre presented Equity Staged Readings of the musical, including three at the CoHo Theatre in Portland, OR. In July 2007, Bering and Friends presented the musical at the Alley Theatre in Houston, and in December of 2007, the musical was given an industry reading by CG Repertory at the Manhattan Theatre Club which featured Tony nominee Sally Mayes in the title role, and a cast that included Broadway veterans Heather Parcells, Erin Leigh Peck and William Youmans. The show is currently being developed for it's next professional production.
