See the entire cast of new musical AMAZING GRACE in the sitzprobe!

A new look behind the scenes of the upcoming biomusical AMAZING GRACE is now available to view.

The official Facebook account for AMAZING GRACE shared the photo this weekend, commenting, "Sitzprobe is a German term used in opera and musical theatre to describe a seated rehearsal - the literal translation of Sitzprobe - where the singers sing with the orchestra, focusing attention on integrating the two groups. It is often the first rehearsal where the orchestra and singers rehearse together. Here is a photo of the sitzprobe for AMAZING GRACE!"

The official description of AMAZING GRACE is as follows: "Produced by Carolyn Rossi Copeland and presented by Broadway In Chicago, AMAZING GRACE is a world premiere musical based on the awe-inspiring true story behind the world's most beloved song. A captivating tale of romance, rebellion and redemption, this radiant production follows one man whose incredible journey ignited a historic wave of change. John Newton (Josh Young), a willful and musically talented young Englishman, faces a future as uncertain as the turning tide. Coming of age as Britain sits atop an international empire of slavery, he finds himself torn between following in the footsteps of his father - a slave trader - and embracing the more compassionate views of his childhood sweetheart (Erin Mackey). An unforgettable musical saga, AMAZING GRACE captures the spirit of history's sweetest and most powerful sound: freedom."
