Elton John’s “Tammy Faye” The Musical Opens and Closes on Broadway

Billboard

The Times reported that the $22 million show featuring music by Elton John and lyrics by Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears – with a book by James Graham (InkFinding Neverland) – scored decent reviews in its premiere run in London in 2022, but was plagued by poor reviews in New York, where it failed to find an audience.

And so, the show that opened on Nov. 14 will go dark on Dec. 8, after just 24 preview and 29 regular performances due to what the paper described as a “disastrous” box office performance that included being the lowest-grossing show on Broadway last week, where it played to 37% empty houses at the Palace Theater, one of the largest theaters on the Great White Way.

  1. Are you kidding me, who in their right mind would willingly go to a musical about fugly Tammy Fae Baker of the industrial strength makeup and phony huckster and failed televangelist malarkey along with her equally discredited husband Jim Baker. They give Christians a bad name worse than the phony prosperity gospel preachers out there.

  2. You’d have to be some over the hill faggot to even think much of the public even remembers who Tammy Faye was. That’s literally pop culture from the ’70s and ’80s. And, of course, the show was likely all about Christian bashing, something that faggots are completely obsessed with.

  3. Yeah, has been queen’s masturbation fantasy about getting banged by Jim Bakker. All queer developers and cast, turns out the audience numbers are pretty queer too. Ultimately the P&L on the show’s really queer too!

  4. Maybe if they wrote The Oprah into the script she could waddle her fat ass up to the front of the stage and start pointing at the audience and yelling You get a free Jaguar, You get a free Jaguar, everybody gets a free Jaguar it might turn things around.

    Just doing my part to help the bastards the same way they help us.
