Andrew Rannells and Katie Brayben are set to reprise their roles in the musical Tammy Faye on Broadway this fall. The production, featuring music by Elton John, will grace the newly renovated Palace Theater, commencing on Oct. 19, with an official opening night scheduled for Nov. 14. This marks the first full production announced for the refurbished theater, which underwent closure in 2018 for renovations. The venue has since been elevated 30 feet in the air and revamped with a fresh lobby, marquee, and backstage area.
Ben Platt is slated to perform a three-week concert at the theater from May 28 through June 15. Brayben, who clinched an Olivier Award for her portrayal of televangelist Tammy Faye in London, has also been recognized with an Olivier for her role in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Her stage credits include appearances in Girl From the North Country and King Charles III on the West End, among other notable roles.
