Bernadette is the story of an innocent, uneducated, peasant farmgirl who is visited by a mysterious, beautiful lady who is only visible to herself. The lady continues to visit Bernadette, always leaving her with inexplicable feelings of peace, serenity and love, and setting off a turn of events that cannot be explained. As word of Bernadette’s visions spreads throughout the population and the press, she faces interrogation, humiliation and even threats, as she stands true to what she knew she saw. Today, the site of the visions is visited by millions each year, as Bernadette’s story continues to inspire.
The production team is lead by Emmy and Tony award-winning actor and producer Kelsey Grammer. For more information, visit: https://www.bernadettethemusical.com/
