Why watch Tammy Faye
Why watch Tammy Faye
With a lively score by Elton John and witty lyrics from Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, TAMMY FAYE sparkles with charm and flair. Olivier Award-winning playwright James Graham weaves a tale that shines a light on the generous yet often lonely soul behind those iconic lashes. Reprising her celebrated West End role, two-time Olivier winner Katie Brayben (from A Serial Killer's Guide to Life) dazzles as Tammy Faye. She’s joined by two-time Tony winners Christian Borle (from Legally Blonde: The Musical) as Jim Bakker and Michael Cerveris as Jerry Falwell. Prepare for a fabulous night of fun and faith!
The story
It’s the 1970s, and a traveling preacher’s wife is about to beam her way into America’s heart. With the rise of cable TV, Tammy Faye Bakker—the charming, mascara-clad wife of Pastor Jim Bakker—captures the nation’s attention. Together, they build a faith-filled empire, sprinkling joy and glamor across the airwaves. Tammy’s infectious spirit puts the fun back into faith, and millions fall in love with her message of hope. But as she shines brighter on screen, envious rivals lurk in the shadows, ready to tear it all down. Just how far will they go to dim her light?
