Story

The story of a traveling preacher's wife who beamed into homes with a message of hope… and stole the country's heart.

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.

Wrapped in a joyful and deliriously fun score that could only come from Elton John, with lyrics by Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, a book by Olivier Award-winning playwright James Graham, and directed by Olivier Award winner Rupert Goold, Tammy Faye shines a sparkling light on the generous, loving, often lonely soul behind the illustrious lashes. Reprising her celebrated West End performance, the divine cast is led by two-time Olivier Award winner Katie Brayben (Tammy Faye), two-time Tony Award® winner Christian Borle (Jim Bakker), and two-time Tony Award winner Michael Cerveris (Jerry Falwell).

"Loved the characters, songs and story line. So much going on in this show. Not just a flattering (if questionable) tale of a strong woman steeped in faith who let money and fame corrupt her, but a poignant reflection on infidelity and its damage, the hypocrisy of fundamentalist religion regarding sex and homophobia, how power corrupts even the most faithful and ego triumphs when unchecked. House of cards in the end."

"The lead actress had a nice voice but we felt like it was not a solid Broadway experience. We saw The Great Gatsby the following night - now that was a tight broadway show . They kept saying it was going to be a funny show - i didnt find it humourous at all. The background staging was a bit sad too - no creativity."
