Get ready to laugh! Get ready to tap your toes! Get ready to take a fresh look at what it means to “love your neighbor” and to “turn the other cheek” (not that one, you nitwit!). Set in ancient Jerusalem, SYMPHONY OF LIFE mostly tells the story of Joel, a corrupt tax collector who’s in desperate need of a swift kick in the pants. But there’s also a cadre of irate marketplace vendors all vying to be the one to deliver the humbling blow; a spunky, young widow who wishes she had more than two pitiful mites to cast into the offering box at the temple treasury; a pair of star-crossed lovers; a perfectly poisonous person masquerading as a beautiful maiden; a murder of featherless crows (huh?); a constipated mule; and a Samaritan who is…well, good.
Fans of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT and the television series, THE CHOSEN, will savor the timely Christian messages, along with fifteen unforgettable, new songs—from silly to spiritual—performed by Broadway-worthy musicians and woven throughout the narrative of this biblical-inspired story. Prepare to be entertained and uplifted—and to gain a deeper love for JESUS! —as the characters’ lives intertwine in unexpected ways, and Joel comes to understand who his neighbors truly are. ~Will the taxman have a change of heart or get what deserves? He definitely has it coming!
