♪ I ask the Lord to give me freedom, release the anger, release
the pain. Like the Mississippi flowing free. Hallelujah, set me free

00:20.719 --> 00:27.399
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

00:27.399 --> 00:34.720
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

00:34.720 --> 00:39.880
women, but it's a modern story. I mean,
the themes are the same as today, so even

00:39.880 --> 00:47.240
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

00:47.240 --> 00:55.220
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

00:55.220 --> 01:03.419
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

01:03.419 --> 01:08.220
please go to chelseatablenstage.com.
I want to see you there. Me too

01:08.220 --> 01:42.220
Don't be divided. Come see us.
Yes. Hallelujah, release the pain

01:42.220 --> 01:55.220
Like the Mississippi flowing free. Hallelujah, set me free

01:55.220 --> 01:59.220
When you go to meet your maker,
standing at a pearly gate

01:59.220 --> 02:10.220
even there before him in prayer. If your heart is
filled with loving and it doesn't know more hate

02:10.220 --> 02:16.220
he will know just how it feels.
He will know just how it feels

02:16.220 --> 02:28.220
He will know just how it feels
to be free. Please come with me

02:36.220 --> 02:44.220
Praise the Lord, great give us freedom.
Cut loose our burdens, cut loose our souls

02:44.220 --> 03:02.220
We will rise, we rise to sing his glory.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

03:02.220 --> 03:13.220
Set me free
