‘Tammy Faye’ Broadway Review: Unanswered Prayers
Deadline's Broadway review of the Elton John-Jake Shears musical 'Tammy Faye.'
Opening tonight at Broadway ‘s Palace Theater, with a book by James Graham, lyrics by Jake Shears and music by Elton John, Tammy Fay e is only slightly more fun than church on a hot July day. Call Jessica Hahn (Alana Pollard), the besotted PTL Club church volunteer who will soon take a place alongside Donna Rice as precursors to the sort of maligned scandal-bait perfected a few years later by Monica Lewinsky.
