Whoever gets the make up contract for the show, is going to make a fortune.
At least, Elton didn't cast a trannie as Tammy Faye.
It seemed that that every other billboard back in the late 70's was PTL club.

NEW YORK (AP) — Elton John's musical about televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker is coming to Broadway from London.
“Tammy Faye” will land in New York City during the 2024-25 season, producers said Friday. John wrote the music, while Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears penned the lyrics
The musical was nominated for four 2023 Olivier Awards, including best musical, but lost the musical crown to “Standing at the Sky’s Edge.” The story is by James Graham with direction by Rupert Goold.
Bakker, who died of cancer in 2007 at age 65, has captivated popular culture. Her story was told in the RuPaul-narrated documentary “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” and that was turned into a Hollywood movie that snagged Jessica Chastain her first Oscar for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye" opposite Andrew Garfield.
In England, Olivier Award-winner Katie Brayben played Bakker, with Tony Award-nominee Andrew Rannells as her first husband, Jim Bakker. Casting for the Broadway version was not announced.

It is amazing how the left keeps things alive that help their agenda.
LOL! Yes I do remember those, but to anybody under 35, they would say what’s a mall.
I don't know how literally a clown character of the 70's and 80's pushes their agenda.
If anything Elton John played at Rush's wedding in 2010.
I think homosexuals are attracted to her and those like her, because she is their alter-ego. Grandiose, narcissistic, attention-seeking, hedonistic, all covered in a public veneer of righteousness.
She was what’s called a *** hag.
They better have grief and suicide counselors available for attendees. That has got to be one heck of a depressing musical.
I think she inspired Jan Crouch.
Back in the 90’s, I had Larry King’s show playing in the other room as he was interviewing Tammy Faye. Then, suddenly, I hear my estranged birth mom’s voice as one of the callers! I soon find out that she’s become besties with Tammy, because her dipsh*t fake Christian narcissist husband was serving time with Jim Baker in prison. They stayed close til Faye died. It was annoyingly surreal at the time. Just glad I was adopted, thank you God.
I had that t-shirt!
And she took money from lonely grandmas, not technically stealing, but a major con game.
If anything Elton John played at Rush’s wedding in 2010.”
What you would call one of History’s curiosities. Elton has some nerve ridiculing Baker with the circus clown he turned into.
Who cares
Those awards prove it is trash.
No one is interested in Tammy Faye except for the left and the homosexuals.
Faye and her husband were well used by the left/media because they hurt Christians and Christianity, all these years later they are still using her, the left can keep things alive for generations when it hurts the right and Christians.
That sums up the alphabet mafia perfectly.
The conservative side can also keep Joan of Arc alive in memory, do you think Joan is a big charlatan, as Tammy Faye was?
