♪ I ask the Lord to give me freedom, release the anger, release the pain. Like the Mississippi flowing free. Hallelujah, set me free
This is the music of Divided. It's being done with Broadway and the Bowery Series with Abingdon Theatre Company, and it's a new musical, and so we have a concert
full of singers here from Broadway that are all going to be singing the music. It's a Civil War story told through the perspective of women, specifically two
women, but it's a modern story. I mean, the themes are the same as today, so even
though the story takes place in the Civil War, it's all things we relate to today, so it's really powerful music and helps show us how we divide ourselves
into all these different categories and fractions, and how instead we would be better if we just all work together. Be sure to come see myself and all of the
other cast members that they have so graciously gotten together next Wednesday, January 31st at 7 p.m. here at Chelsea Table and Stage. For tickets
please go to chelseatablenstage.com. I want to see you there. Me too
Don't be divided. Come see us. Yes. Hallelujah, release the pain
Like the Mississippi flowing free. Hallelujah, set me free
When you go to meet your maker, standing at a pearly gate
even there before him in prayer. If your heart is filled with loving and it doesn't know more hate
he will know just how it feels. He will know just how it feels
to be free. Please come with me
Praise the Lord, great give us freedom. Cut loose our burdens, cut loose our souls
We will rise, we rise to sing his glory. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Set me free
