Tammy Faye, a new musical by Elton John, Jake Shears, and James Graham is currently playing at the Almeida Theatre in London. I saw a preview and loved it. Press night is October 26, and I suspect the reviews will be good and the show will transfer to the West End and to Broadway. The eponymous character is played by Katie Brayben, who will surely will awards for her performance. Jim Bakker is played by American actor Andrew Rannells. Of particular note is Zubin Varla, an actor I've admired over the years, who plays Jerry Falwell.

I'm sure I would love that. I really liked The Eyes of Tammy Faye and any and all documentaries about the Bakkers. They're fascinating people, their unlikely rise to fame and their spectacular downfall -- and Tammy Faye staying true to herself through it all.
