Sing America Presents Steel Hearts: The John Henry Musical

A story of love, hope, chains, and freedom. This electrifying production follows a free Black man in the 19th-century South as he dares to dream bigger than the chains that tried to hold him, and stronger than the machine that tried to replace him. As John lays down rail, finds love, and leads a crew toward their promised land, his story becomes the story of a people and of a nation. A love letter to the American Dream proving the power of a heart of steel against any foe, Steel Hearts is the story we need now, more than ever. With an original Indie-Gospel score that swings like steel on rail, Steel Hearts turns the epic of John Henry into a living myth, echoing the dream of every person who has stood against the storm. Steel Hearts is a foot-stomping, heart-pounding race for the soul, a thunderous new American musical that will have youe on your feet, clapping in rhythm, and telling the tale of the tale of the American legend American Hero John Henry.
