Maverick music theatre-makers the Present Tense Ensemble re-imagine Like a Prayer by Madonna as part of The Major Bruce Sessions: Volume 1, a monthly residency at Ruby’s Music Room.
Selling 15 million albums world-wide and defining a generation, Like a Prayer is as iconic as Madonna herself. Her own constant struggle with Catholicism runs rampant through this brutally honest record. With sophisticated arrangements, deeply felt lyrics, and a strong assured vocal line, Like a Prayer is the quintessential pop album.
Like a Prayer features the star of Chants Des Catacombes Anna Boulic on vocals and harp accompanied by Mark Leahy of The Twoks, Nate Gilkes on piano and a barbershop quartet featuring Aaron Holland, David McNamara, Morgan Phillips and Jack Swann.
The performance will capture the hallmarks of the Present Tense ensemble: glorious vocal arrangements and impulsive live performances led by Nate Gilkes, sitting at a sensational Steinway piano.
