CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Ben Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on November 9th, 2023, reviewing “Journey to Bethlehem,” a re-telling of the Baby Jesus story as a musical! In theaters on November 10th, 2023.

Three Kings (Geno Segers, Rizwan Manji and Omi Djalili) discover the star they are to follow, while Mary (Fiona Palomo) becomes engaged to Joseph (Milo Manheim). The angel Gabriel (the rapper Lecrae) also appears, and tells Mary she’s going to be the Mother of Jesus. At first, Joseph runs away, but a vision comes to him, and he finds his fiancé and completes the nuptials. Meanwhile, Herod (Antonio Banderas) calls for a census, so Mary and Joseph are about to journey to Bethlehem …and their destiny.
