The Story

Hamilton proved Hip Hop belongs on Broadway.

The Jesus Piece proves the Gospel does too.

A full two-act Broadway musical telling the complete story of Jesus Christ from His birth in the Upper Room through His ministry, betrayal, crucifixion, resurrection, the 40 days of appearances, and the Ascension. The book is written. The music is coming. The stage is being set.

Act One

Birth Through the Last Supper

– –  Birth in the Upper Room — Mary sings

– –  The Ministry Begins — Hip Hop awakens the crowd

– –  Woman with the Issue of Blood — 12 years, one reach

– –  Joanna & Susanna — women who left everything

– –  Sermon on the Mount — the crowd erupts in Afrobeats

– –  The Last Supper — R&B, the last night together

Act Two

Betrayal Through the Ascension

– –  Betrayal — Judas and the kiss that broke the world

– –  Trial & Crucifixion — full Gospel choir, raw grief

– –  The Resurrection — silence, then thunder

The Women’s Arc — R&B · Neo Soul Throughout

The most intimate witnesses to everything Jesus was were women.

Running through both acts is a complete women’s arc entirely in R&B and Neo Soul. From Mary’s lullaby at the birth, to the Woman reaching through the crowd after 12 years of silence, to Mary Magdalene weeping alone at the empty tomb until she hears her name called.
