A future date will be announced.
Date to be announced
You’ve heard the story of Jesus – it’s called the Gospel. But, you have never, ever heard the “Gospel” like this… told to the stirring sound of R&B and Soul music of the 60s and 70s.
The music is called ‘Soul’ because the rhythms are felt at the core of one’s very own soul and the lyrics testify the echoes of the heart. You will be blown away as these two forces, Soul music and the Gospel, combine for a powerful evening of theatre, full of emotion and laughter, unforgettable music, and exhilarating dance.
You cannot miss the return of this Broadway quality “smash-hit” musical! Be there, or be square.
