The Alliance Theatre in Atlanta is preparing for the world premiere of “The Preacher’s Wife” musical, set to begin May 11 with a May 24 opening night and will continue until June 16. With a seasoned cast and a creative team led by Tituss Burgess and Azie Dungey, this stage adaptation is expected to deliver a soul-stirring experience for theater enthusiasts.
Amber Riley is slated to take on the role of Julia Biggs alongside Loretta Devine as Marguerite Coleman. Devine, who played a different role in the 1996 film adaptation, has been associated with the project since at least 2016 when one of its earliest readings took place in Manhattan. The ensemble cast also includes Rebecca E. Covington, Akron Watson, and Donald Webber, Jr.
