Last night was a very exciting evening! Jessica and I went to check out the World Premiere of a new musical theater production called 'Leap of Faith'. The plot:
"When his traveling ministry breaks down in a small Kansas town, part-time reverend and full-time con artist (Raul Esparza) quickly pitches a tent and invites the locals to a revival. The sheriff is determined to stop Jonas from separating the townspeople from their money, but Jonas’ real challenge arises when he meets a pretty waitress (Shields) and her son, whose love forces an ultimate cynic to take a real leap of faith."
Basically, it's JUST like the Music Man -- but with a minister instead of a traveling salesman.
That being said, it was FANTASTIC! This show WILL be on Broadway within the next year. I'll bet every penny I have on it. The cast was fantastic, the songs were really catchy, and the tech stuff they pulled off in the show was mind blowing.
The best part of all, is that Jessica and I got to enjoy the show from Box Seats. :) "How much did you pay for those tickets?!", you may ask. Only $20 bucks a piece!
I'll be going back to see it again before it leaves town at the end of October! When it hits Broadway, be SURE to see this musical. It might just be my new favorite.
