Based on Andrew Ward's sweeping post-Civil War epic Dark Midnight When I Rise, Steal Away is the true saga of the legendary Fisk Jubilee Singers, a sensational choir of young former slaves fighting the KKK’s reign of terror against their schools — the newly founded HBCUs — not with bullets or bombs but breathtaking songs of faith and freedom. Steal Away follows the choir's spectacular rise from the darkness of slavery to the glittering ballrooms and throne rooms of Europe as they become global Victorian celebrities — only to fall prey to their demons and wage war on each other. A timeless story poised to become a beloved classic, Steal Away will feature an outstanding international cast, Tony-winning Broadway legend Joaquina Kalukango, internationally acclaimed Grammy-winning composer Billy Childs, and a thundering message of courage, hope, redemption, and race-reconciliation that will leave audiences cheering.
