Ms. Allen does what she does best here in taking her unshakable faith and knowledge of the Bible, and her years of experience in secular music to bring us truly inspired theater entertainment. Esther the Musical is a two-hour Broadway musical style show with a redeeming message of a sovereign God. The script follows the setting of the Persian Empire 483 BC. King Xerxes had conquered all of the known world at that time with the exception of Greece. Jerusalem was destroyed and the Hebrews taken captive. From this scenario emerges the story of one lovely Jewish orphan girl who was raised by her older cousin Mordecai, and then suddenly, taken to the harem at the kings palace. There, she finds a destiny she would never have imagined! She eventually rises to become the Queen of Persia and saves her people from an impending holocaust. The script accurately follows the Old Testament bible story from the book of Esther. It is packed with intrigue, suspense, and a violent, clever man, determined to wipe out the Jewish race, a king who is filled with his own power and wealth who loves to party and is susceptible to flattery, and a young woman who is placed in the mix to bring sanity back to the nation and end a wicked plot. The show captivates and delights the audience with a wide variety of songs from ballads to jazz, operatic to Hebrew and Jamaican to Broadway. The pace is always moving and exciting. The theme song of the show At This Time, In This Place is sung by Esther as she tries to decide her fate. Again, it is done in reprise by the entire cast as Esther emerges victorious over evil. The production has also interspersed some light comedy with its heart-wrenching, tearful scenes.
