The production delves into the story of the Azusa Street Revival, led by William J. Seymour, a son of formerly enslaved people. In April 1906, Seymour and others were profoundly touched by a divine presence, sparking an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This movement transcended racial and cultural boundaries, emphasizing all believers’ equality in God’s eyes. Its influence reached far beyond its time and place, shaping the global Pentecostal movement with over 700 million believers today.
“The Azusa Revival Musical” features dynamic original music composed by Mickey Stevenson and esteemed writers. Its powerful score includes emotionally charged production numbers and heartfelt ballads that resonate deeply with audiences. The musical’s title track, “You Can Do Anything,” and songs like “Do You Know My Jesus!” and “Won’t Stop Praying” contribute to its compelling storytelling.
Testimonials from prominent entertainment industry figures and spiritual leaders reinforce the significance of these productions. Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown, praises Mickey Stevenson’s ability to assemble winning creative teams and foster an environment that supports artists. Testimonials from artists like Smokey Robinson and Mary Wilson highlight Mickey’s instrumental role in shaping their careers. Spiritual leaders, including Bishop Clarence Haddon and Dr. Joyce Haddon, emphasize the divine inspiration behind the musical and its potential to bring about spiritual awakening.
