Where Every Family Matters

Two Big Bible Stories, One Big Family Musical

A brand-new musical, "Daniel in the Lions' Den," featuring Esther: The Bravest Queen plays TPAC this Saturday as part of its national tour.

Looking for a family outing with a little more meaning? A brand-new musical comes to Nashville this Saturday. It brings two timeless stories to life with music, humor and plenty of theatrical sparkle.

Daniel in the Lions’ Den, featuring Esther: The Bravest Queen, takes the stage at TPAC’s Polk Theater on Saturday, November 14. The Nashville performance at 2 p.m. is part of a nationwide tour. The show comes from the team behind live productions for Sesame Street, Blippi, Baby Shark and more.

First up is Esther: The Bravest Queen. The story follows a young woman who finds the courage to risk everything to save her people. Then comes Daniel in the Lions’ Den, set in ancient Babylon. Daniel faces betrayal and political intrigue. And, of course, there’s that famous den full of lions.

The two stories give kids ages 5 and older a lively introduction to these timeless tales. Along the way, they’ll see courage in action. They’ll meet characters who stand up for what they believe. And they’ll get plenty of music, humor and larger-than-life staging along the way.

The production is presented by The Originals Live, a new touring entertainment series created to bring original stories to the stage for families of all ages.

Tennessee Performing Arts Center is located at 505 Deaderick Stree in Nashville. Tickets to the show are $48.50+. Get them here.
