More information about Saturday Church
Sia is known for her shining vocals as a pop artist thanks to hits like "Chandelier" and her first Billboard Hot 100 number one single, "Cheap Thrills." Now, she writes a new musical that is sure to dazzle thanks to its powerhouse cast, dynamic settings, and starry creative team from various entertainment backgrounds.
“Saturday Church is an odyssey of becoming," said director Whitney White in a statement. "We follow Ulysses as he discovers what it means to live in one’s truth and ultimately how to help the ones we love to embrace us in our fullness. When I first read and heard the music of Saturday Church, I leaped at the possibility to direct it—the iconic songs, celebration of body, and portrait of faith and self-discovery all combine into what I hope will be an unforgettable evening of theatre. This musical dares us to open up and shine bright even during moments of uncertainty and change."
