Love will get you every timeand one charismatic con-man is about to find that out. The Reverend Jonas Nightingale, an electrifying performer and con artist, is travelling with his ministry when his bus breaks down in a small Kansas town. The part-time reverend and full-time crook pitches a tent and invites the locals to a revival. The sheriff, a woman named Marla McGowan, is determined to stop Jonas from separating the townspeople from their money, and Jonas' real challenge arises when he meets the sheriff and her son, whose love forces an ultimate cynic to take a real leap of faith.
LEAP OF FAITH features a roof-raising score by eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken (Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS). The creative team includes book writers Janus Cercone and Tony-winner Warren Leight (SIDE MAN) and Grammy-winning lyricist Glenn Slater (TANGLED).
