John Paul II musical tours Spain

FEAR NOT, the musical prepared for World Youth Day about the life of Blessed Pope John Paul II, is touring Spanish dioceses in the weeks leading up to the event.
The musical covers the early years of Karol Wojtyła, the young boy growing up in Poland who became the first Polish pope. It discusses his love for theatre, university years, love for his family and friends, experience during World War Two and career as a professor. The show culminates with his election as pope in 1978. “I believe my life, and the meaning of it, is with God,” the young actor playing Wojtyła says during the performance.
Through music, dance and spoken word the musical is designed to attract young audiences and teach them about Blessed John Paul’s rise to the priesthood and inauguration as pope.
