Summary
After making its debut in Europe, Bernadette, The Musical is set to premiere in the United States on February 19 at Chicago’s Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture. Ahead of this U.S. premiere, EWTN Studios launched a four-part behind-the-scenes series called “Bernadette, The Musical: Miracle in the Making,” produced in partnership with Castletown Media. The musical tells the true story of St. Bernadette Soubirous, who encountered apparitions believed to be Mary in Lourdes, France, in 1858. This exclusive series offers viewers a glimpse into how the original French production was adapted for an American audience. Key figures include Peter Gagnon, president of EWTN Studios, and Pierre Ferragu, lead producer of the musical. The first episode debuted on February 11 as part of the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between live theatrical expression and digital storytelling, allowing people worldwide to connect with the story’s profound beauty and emotional depth through various platforms such as EWTN+, YouTube, and ewtn.com. Ferragu hopes that by sharing this story, it will inspire individuals on a path of conversion, regardless of their religious background.
