About me: Big Tent has a book by Jeffery Self, with music and lyrics by Ben Cohn and Sean McDaniel. The musical is described by the authors as:
“A cultural icon for more than thirty years, Tammy Faye Bakker’s phenomenal rise from farm girl to evangelist superstar has finally been put onstage with a terrific pop-country score. Her unique style has made her beloved by mainstream Christians, as well as by gays and other outsiders whom she welcomed under her “big tent.” In this ninety minute, six character musical, we follow Tammy as she fights to maintain her dignity amidst sex and business scandals. Her perseverance in the face of private tragedy and public ridicule has made her a testament to the endurance of the human spirit.”
The musical was seen in a concert production at New World Stages in May of 2007 directed by Ryan J. Davis, Produced by Tim Hur. Since then, Mrs. Bakker-Messner passed away on July 20, 2007.

HEY! Get your ass down to RED STAR this Saturday May 24th to see me perform my quirky brand of electropop. If you haven't seen me live, it's about time your punk ass did. I'm just sayin'. Starting at 9:00pm with avant-garde cellist, Emily Hope Price and The Suns. Also, the Miller Beer girls will be there giving away FREE BEER from 10:30 - 1:30. Go to my page for more info. See you there!
Just wanted to give you a heads up that I'll be playing out at the very swanky Crash Mansion this Wednesday March 26th at 8:00pm with my band, followed by Clara Lofaro's CD release party for her third studio album Perfekt World. I'll also be performing the next day March 27th at 8:00pm at Spike Hill in Williamsburg. Check out my profile for more info. Come out to get your drink on and listen to some great live music!!!
How can I get more music from BT,TTFBM? I hear last night at the Metropolitan went extremely well! I was so close, but, yet so far away. Have a great day :)
Thanks for the add. I have had the pleasure of knowing Tammy's son and her loss is something that has shook many of us who she cared so much for. Hope you have a blessed holiday.
