Leap of Faith
Choose options
Alan Menken, Glenn Slater, and Janus Cercone’s 'Leap of Faith' stands as a magnificent monument of contemporary religious satire and gospel theater, universally celebrated for possessing one of the most soaring, choir-driven scores in recent musical history. Setting its breathless plot across a sweltering revival tent in a bankrupt Midwestern town, the musical charts an unprincipled con man's moral choices, fake miracles, and unexpected spiritual redemption when he falls into an affair with a local woman. Most famously mounted in its award-winning Broadway run under the direction of Christopher Ashley, this property remains a core pillar.
