The song Amazing Grace goes beyond what you could imagine. This musical opens up your imagination and heart. You travel on a journey with John Newton from the depths of his wreckage to a graceful return.
What a sensational new musical that has it all! Story, music, dancing, meaning, thought provoking, laughs, tears and so much more! The musical was memorable and powerful!
By the end of the show, standing ovation with the rest of the theatre singing the song Amazing Grace, stunning… I haven’t seen anything like this in attending Broadway shows. This show was beyond this song, it spoke to me on so many levels.
I sense that it is speaking to many people that saw it as the stories weave through the show with a mother’s legacy, a battle of father and son, history, the tragedy of the slave trade, a love story, conversion of heart, faith, religion, the struggle of humanity, doing the right thing and standing up against injustice despite the costs. It takes you through a storm of life that is powerful.
The show had something to connect with the audiences as this musical has something for everyone no matter where you are on your walk in life’s journey.
I could see the passion, wait, correction, feel the passion that everyone involved in this musical brought to the stage. What an unexpected epic journey I went on with this musical. It has it all, top talented cast, team, direction, staging, costumes, sets, choregraphy and the vision of the writer and composter that brought the story to life.
