It’s 1963 in Knoxville Tennessee and America has just entered the world of
the televangelist. Miracle City is a sparkling new musical that tells the story of
Lora and Ricky Lee and their two children, who weekly broadcast their songs,
prayers and appeals for funds to an enthralled TV audience, with the glorious
hope of building the city of their dreams. But as the debts pile up faster than
the donations flood in and the happy screen façade starts cracking, it’s time
for shady scams and desperate measures.
