It is Well with My Soul – The Musical
'A musical journey through heartache and hope'

★★★★★ "Poignant, elegant and deeply moving." - LondonFringeTheatreReviews
"A truly remarkable show." - The Baptist Times

Set against the rebuilding era after the American Civil War, It is Well with My Soul brings a moving story of struggle, resilience, and hope to the stage. Follow Philip and Lucy Bliss as they navigate life in the bustling city of Chicago, establishing new connections with lawyer Horatio Spafford, innovative producer George Root, and the spirited preacher D L Moody. As Philip’s reputation as a hymn writer and soloist grows, he grapples with the ethical challenges brought on by success. When the devastating Great Chicago Fire and the sorrowful sinking of the Ville du Havre thrust them into turmoil, how will they find hope amidst despair?

Join us for this theatrical production that traverses through pain, loss, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. An exploration of hope against all odds, this new musical tells the story of the people behind the beloved Gospel hymn and invites you to reflect, empathise, and find a common thread through the tapestry of time.
