Scheduled to open Oct. 3, the work features a score by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken, a book by Janus Cercone with Glenn Slater and lyrics by Slater.
"When his traveling ministry breaks down in a small Kansas town," press notes state, "part-time reverend and full-time con artist quickly pitches a tent and invites the locals to a revival. The sheriff is determined to stop Jonas from separating the townspeople from their money, but Jonas' real challenge arises when he meets a pretty waitress and her son, whose love forces an ultimate cynic to take a real leap of faith."
