The King’s Connection with God
How did religion and God influence the King's music?
Few stories have explored how The King turned to God as he realized his life was ending. During his final night on earth, he sat alone at his piano and performed for God, singing Gospel songs.
No one knows if The King knew his death was imminent at the time, but The King, The Final Hours, explores the artistic thoughts that likely went through his mind as he realized life was ending.
The Best New Off Broadway Shows in 2018
This is the first Off-Broadway or Broadway play on the King’s life, taking an interpretive look at what went through his mind on August 16th, 1977, and how he reflected on his life.
Many scenes in The King, The Final Hours explore how the King was influenced by his religious upbringing. In one interpretive scene, the King reflects on his childhood when his Mother gave him his first guitar and told him to use it for God's glory. \
Another spiritual scene interprets the moments before his appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, praying to God with his Mother.
Throughout his life, the King cited his influence of growing up in the church environment as a major factor that shaped his music.
