A VIDEO MESSAGE FROM AUTHOR, ANNA MIRIAM BROWN

 
 

"I prayed and knew the songs would come to me when God was ready"

THE SETTING FOR OUR STORY 

Your heart. Not so long ago as you might think. 


COMPARISONS 

HIS STORY was inspired by the Broadway musical sensation HAMILTON and shares its eclectic musical style including being entirely sung-through (like a Rock Opera).

A close non-theatre comparison is THE CHOSEN, the first-ever multi-season TV series about the life of Jesus which has garnered over 100 million views for Seasons 1 and 2. To put it into perspective, the TV series FRIENDS garnered 52.5 million viewers for its final episode.

From a licensing standpoint, HIS STORY, like most of the most licensed shows to the secondary professional and amateur markets (regional theaters, community theaters, colleges, schools, churches, summer camps), has a flexibly large cast, family-friendly material, catchy songs, and a recognizable brand element.
