Get ready to be moved from your living room. The first official trailer has arrived for Lisa Nichols' powerful Broadway event, When My Soul Speaks: Lisa Nichols Live on Broadway, giving audiences a glimpse of the transformative performance before it hits major streaming platforms. ShowtimeSpot is thrilled to bring you this exclusive first look at the footage.
The special captures Nichols' one-night-only 2024 performance at New York's prestigious Samuel J. Friedman Theater. For nearly three hours, the celebrated motivational speaker commanded the stage alone, weaving her personal journey through 11 compelling vignettes. She has coined the term "Trans-Fortainment" for the experience, aiming to both entertain audiences and inspire profound personal change.
An Inspiring Journey to the Stage
Nichols' story is one of remarkable resilience. Born in South Central Los Angeles, she faced immense challenges as a young single mother after the father of her child was incarcerated during her pregnancy. Determined to build a better life, she transitioned from an accountant to a globally recognized author, life coach, and motivational force.
Her work gained international fame through her contribution to the self-help phenomenon The Secret, and she has been a featured guest on major platforms like The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, and Dr. Phil. The Broadway show delves into the raw details of her path, from escaping an abusive relationship and navigating poverty to achieving her dreams.
Critical Acclaim and Perfect Timing
The live performance earned glowing praise, including from journalist Tamron Hall, who was in the audience. "There was not an ounce of fear on that stage," Hall remarked, highlighting the sheer power of Nichols' solo presentation.
The streaming release is perfectly timed for April, which is recognized as International Black Women’s History Month. This makes the availability of Nichols' story of overcoming adversity and claiming success particularly resonant. Fans can mark their calendars for April 10, when When My Soul Speaks begins streaming on both Prime Video and Apple TV+.
This release joins a slate of exciting new trailers dropping this season.
