I’LL WALK WITH GOD is a musical drama about a former opera star from America for whom La Bohème and My Fair Lady could not feed his God-given spirituality. His father’s homeland has taken him and his family to England – and to the priesthood. But the trendy, go-getting Rev Jim Watson will always sing. It is what he does best and is as natural to him as breathing. He sings at charity events, church fetes and local concerts. In his parish he is known as “The Singing Vicar”. Along the way, after meeting Emma Crawford at the local allotment that is his distraction and her therapy, things will never be as they once were for them or for Jim’s actress daughter, Holly.

MUSICAL NUMBERS include You’ll Never Walk Alone from Carousel, Bach-Gounod’s Ave Maria, Because, On the Street Where You Live from My Fair Lady, the Neapolitan song Come Prima and the film’s theme song.
