LEAP OF FAITH!

You'll be dancing in the aisles when con man Jonas Nightingale brings his gospel-charged tent revival to rain-starved Kansas. Four-time Tony Award-nominee Raúl Esparza and Golden Globe Award-nominee Brooke Shields star in this world premiere Broadway-bound new musical.

Based on the movie with Steve Martin, Leap of Faith boasts a brand new score from 8-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast) and directed and choreographed by Tony Award®-winner Rob Ashford, helmer of the recent Taper favorite, Parade.

When his traveling ministry breaks down in a small Kansas town, part-time reverend and full-time con artist (Esparza) quickly pitches a tent and invites the locals to a revival. The sheriff is determined to stop Jonas from separating the townspeople from their money, but Jonas' real challenge arises when he meets a pretty waitress (Shields) and her son, whose love forces an ultimate cynic to take a real leap of faith.

@AdamEfimoff Raul's considered a very fine stage actor, he's a Tony nominee for both musical and dramatic work. Norbert is great, but Raul is just as good in his own way.

@RandomRandommer I just don' t think Raul acts when he sings !

@AdamEfimoff I don't think so. It would be great, but not "much better".

[RandomRandommer]

Norbert would be better? You gotta be kidding. I mean I adore NLB but Raul Esparza is amazing.

[AdamEfimoff]
