Broadway exulted in the arrival of Tammy Faye. The new biomusical about famous televangelist Tammy Faye Messner (known better by the surname Bakker) had its opening-night celebration on November 14 at the newly renovated Palace Theatre. The carpet boasted the show's stars—Olivier Award winner Katie Brayben (Tammy Faye), two-time Tony winner Christian Borle (Jim Bakker) and two-time Tony winner Michael Cerveris (Reverend Jerry Falwell)—along with composer Elton John, who is back on Broadway where he belongs.
