Steal Away
Based on Andrew Ward’s post-Civil War epic “Dark Midnight When I Rise,” Steal Away is the true story of the legendary Fisk Jubilee Singers, a sensational choir of young former slaves fighting the KKK’s reign of terror against their schools – including the newly founded HBCUs – not with bullets or bombs but electrifying songs of faith and freedom. Steal Away follows the choir’s titanic rise from the darkness of slavery to the glittering ballrooms of England as they conquer the world… and must then conquer their own demons. A music-filled saga rivaling Gone With the Wind in scope and Bridgerton and Hamilton in diversity, Steal Away will feature a spectacularly diverse international cast, an epic soundtrack composed in collaboration with five-time Grammy legend Billy Childs, and a universal message of hope, redemption and race reconciliation that will captivate audiences from Boston to Beijing.
