In the 60's The Salvation Army began to produce musicals of their own. Some are "Take-over Bid", "Hosea", Glory!", "Spirit" und "The Blood of the Lamb". The musicals always have a spiritual message. As the musical "Hosea" was presented in London in 1969, John Lambert wrote in the newspaper "The London Evening News": "London's new musical is a hit, I just can't stop humming tunes from the show." |
