It is Well with My Soul – a musical journey through heartache and hope

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 invites you to reflect, empathise, and find a common thread through the tapestry of time.

The performance will be BSL interpreted. A section of the theatre seating will be allocated for BSL users. Please let the box office know if you require BSL access.
