I have seen this show a number of times and each time it was an awesome experience. The story is spectacular and the whole show is full of amazing detail. It's obvious that a TON of work goes into putting together the play each year. If you haven't seen this show yet you are missing out!

This is a play that anyone and everyone will enjoy. I know so many people who have gone to this and are astounded by the quality of these performances. I have been 3 times to this play, and plan on being there again this year. Wind, rain, or shine, this play will go on! Many years of history and countless... More

I've known about the Passion Play for years but finally went last year. I've been to live theatre performances in westend London, England, broadway shows and have seen movie stars like Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Neve Campbell act live. I've been entertained by Shaolin Monks kung fu, circus du soleill and basically, a lot of live performances, thought... More

The costumes were fabulous and the seats were awesome. We could hear the words of the actors very well..This is a fine production and the... More

Clearly this theatrical presentation is in a league of its own. If I was trying to climb the theatre ladder I would apply for summer employment with this theatre company. They are young and vigorous and do a WORLD CLASS job. This cannot be said about many theatre companies. I can see why it was listed as one of North... More

The setting is exquisite, the set is amazing, costuming is beautifully done and the acting is excellent. This entranced even a fourteen year old fellow who initially had some misgivngs about attending. Me? I just cried at the end and my religious convictions are murky at best. Make plans to go in 2013 and invite everyone you can. Heed the... More

This was a incredible performance to watch. Made us feel like we were right in the performance with the actors. Huge stage was well used by the energetic actors. The 3 hour show went by very fast. Hardly felt like 3 hours. Perfect setting for this kind of play. Great story. Very touching and moving. Made me think about what... More

Best not to go when it is too hot out. Excellent performance and costumes are very good. There is always something happening someplace on the "stage".

The most importand reason was the wedding of our son. And the second was to watch the play. Our hotel was nearby wich was great. It was wasy to park... More
