The new Broadway musical Scandalous: The Life and Trials of Aimee Semple McPherson is in preview performances with opening night set for Thursday, Nov. 15.
Starring two-time Tony Award nominee Carolee Carmello (Parade, Mamma Mia!, Sister Act) in the title role, the musical features book and lyrics by Kathie Lee Gifford and music by David Pomeranz and David Friedman.
Scandalous also stars two-time Tony Award winner George Hearn (Sunset Blvd., La Cage aux Folles, Sweeney Todd).
Directed by David Armstrong, the musical is based on the life of Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944), media sensation and founder of the Foursquare Church. Her passion for saving souls equaled her passion for making sensational headlines and attracting overflow crowds of thousands throughout the world.
Set in 1920's Los Angeles, holiness collides with Hollywood in this extraordinary tale of one remarkable woman's charismatic rise to fame amidst scandalous love affairs and growing controversy, inevitably ending in her much-publicized fall from grace.
Scandalous runs at the Neil Simon Theatre, 250 West 52nd St. For more information, visit www.ScandalousOnBroadway.com.
