Following the story of Mary Magdalene -- arguably the most controversial female figure in history -- Magdalene takes the audience from Mary’s birth in Egypt and early training as a high priestess to the search for her beloved Jesus Christ. The rock musical examines Christ’s elevation of Mary as the first apostle -- and what that did to her relations with the other apostles -- as well as the effect Jesus and Mary’s relationship had on themselves, their world and our modern world 2,000 years later.
