The Principle Wife, a new musical @ Covery Center for the Arts |  |  |

The story everyone wants to tell… but doesn’t.

World-class musical theater comes to Provo in a heart-touching account of sacrifice and love. A story of three courageous women and their family as they face a harsh landscape, persecution, and the reality of surviving unexpected challenges.

Set in Southern Utah in the late 1800s, The Principle Wife centers around the love story of Rebecca and Benjamin as they embark on a journey of living “the principle” known as plural marriage. At a time when they face severe difficulty and uncertainty, could adding more members to the household really be the answer? 

Reserve your tickets for this original and inspiring musical today!
