His Story: The Musical will be released in May 2023 sharing the story of Jesus' life in a contemporary way on centre stage. 

"A common-man-from-a-sketchy-family arrives in the big city and defies expectations," says the website, describing the musical. "He performs miracles and speaks great wisdom, but chooses friends from the dregs of society and hangs out in the wrong part of town. Mocked by the establishment, He is adored by the people. Melding a youthful voice with a timeless perspective, the greatest story ever told is brought into the third millennium, reminding us of the universal power of love and redemption."

While still in its early stages, His Story is being described as The Chosen meets Hamilton, including pop, hip/hop, and rap originals. 

Written by Anna Miriam Brown who was inspired to create the broadway show after a missions trip to Africa when she was just 16 years old. It was here Brown watched Hamilton and she wanted to try and recreate Lin Manuel's lead character, but with the son of God. 

"We are excited to announce our partnership with His Story: The Musical," says Willie Robertson, one of the stars from Duck Dynasty. "Our hope is that it will present the gospel in a way that people of all ages can relate to and respond to."

The young, 18-year-old composer says, "I prayed and knew the songs would come to me when God was ready."

"In every generation, God raises up new voices that point us to Jesus in unique, powerful and creative ways," says Robertson. "We believe Anna Brown, the writer of 'His Story,' is one of those voices. We are thrilled to be a part of bringing this musical to the stage!"

Sadie Robertson Huff, the daughter of Willie, as well as an author and speaker, also endorses the musical. 

"I love that His Story is giving us a visual experience and interpretation of the life of Jesus. It’s amazing to get to see Jesus being the human that He was: laughing, singing, and hugging people. But it is also amazing to see Him for the God that He is. I love how they beautifully intermingle these things to tell His story."

The broadway show will debut in Texas in the new state-of-the-art broadway tent on May 5, 2023.
