Maytide's It Is Well With My Soul: The Musical
This beautiful tale of tragedy and faith is based on the true story of Anna and Horatio Spafford. It follows Anna’s journey from her Norwegian roots to 19th-century Chicago and later Jerusalem, capturing the couple’s faith and resilience after losing their four daughters in the S.S. Ville du Havre shipwreck. The narrative explores themes of grief, hope, redemption, and spiritual transformation, brought to life through original music, heartfelt performances, and rich historical context.
The famous hymn "It Is Well with My Soul," written by Horatio Spafford, has inspired our stage musical, and we are bringing honest portrayals of unimaginable loss, and enduring faith to the 2026 Fringe season.
