It is Well with My Soul is a new original musical, telling the tragic true story of one of the most beloved hymns of all time. The hymn was written by Horatio Spafford and Philip Bliss.
The musical, written by Gareth Hides, tells the story of Philip and his wife, Lucy, how at the end of the American Civil War, they end up moving to the growing metropolis of Chicago, Illinois, to make a new life for themselves. It is there they meet lawyer Horatio Spafford, producer and publisher George Root, and preacher and philanthropist D L Moody. As Philip begins to gain prominence as a soloist and hymn-writer, temptation begins to creep in: how will Philip handle the temptations that come with his new life? And how will the Blisses deal with the tragic circumstances of the Great Chicago Fire and the loss of the Spafford girls in the sinking of the Ville du Havre? "It is Well with My Soul" invites you to explore the Gospel message of hope, like an anchor for the soul.
