This entertaining musical features the reverential retelling of the Gospels of Matthew and John in a contemporary southern setting, set to bluegrass music. The award-winning musical is based on the book The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John by Clarence Jordan, a Bible scholar and Civil Rights activist. Tom Key and Russell Treyz adapted Jordan’s writings and worked with the late Harry Chapin to create this musical stage version. Cotton Patch Gospel is the only off Broadway show to receive praise from both Rolling Stone and Christianity Today.
