The Almeida Theatre has announced the World Premiere of TAMMY FAYE A New Musical, which will run at the Almeida from Thursday 13 October to Saturday 3 December 2022.
Directed by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold, TAMMY FAYE is a new musical from legendary songwriter Elton John, Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears and award-winning writer James Graham.
The production will star Olivier Award-winner Katie Brayben as Tammy Faye, Tony Award-nominee Andrew Rannells as Jim, and Olivier Award-nominee Zubin Varla as Jerry Falwell.

From a studio in South Carolina, Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker revolutionised religion.
Preaching to millions 24 hours a day, Tammy just wants to put the fun back into faith.
But a new wave of ministers wants you not to just feel God in your heart, but in your homes, in your schools and in the law too.
God bless Tammy Faye!
