Photo Flash: THE MOST AMAZING STORY EVER SUNG at Lincoln Center
By: Kelsey Denette Sep. 21, 2012
This weekend, direct from Colombia, the critically acclaimed international musical sensation "The Most Amazing Story Ever Sung" (La más grande historia jamás cantada) makes its New York debut with a strictly limited, four-performance engagement at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall (Broadway at 60th Street, inside the Time Warner Center), tonight, September 21-23, 2012.
Under the direction of Rob Barron and the artistic production team of the renowned musical theater company Misi Producciones, "The Most Amazing Story Ever Sung" is a family-friendly musical spectacle that spans the lesser-known years in the life of Jesus Christ.
Combining dazzling choreography, original upbeat rhythms, and an energetic cast of more than 85 performers, a joyful and human image of Jesus emerges as the story of his life between childhood and early adulthood surfaces. "The Most Amazing Story Ever Sung" will be performed in Spanish with English supertitles.
"The Most Amazing Story Ever Sung" features book by Arturo Tovar, music and lyrics by María Isabel Murillo, and is sung entirely with foundations in original Latin rhythms combined with jazz, rock and gospel and a chorus of children and adult ensemble, accompanied by an 18-piece orchestra.
