Absolutely Stunning
by Rachelle on 5/16/23The Broadway Tent - ColonyAs someone who loves theatre, I was nervous about this show. Christians don't always do a great job when trying to balance story & quality.... and I was nervous that this wouldn't live up to the hype. But I have to say I was tremendously wrong in my low expectations. This. Performance. Was. Amazing. Period. The songs take a story that some of us are very familiar with and bring out new aspects of the real human story taking place. It connects in a real, deep, and vulnerable place. The theatre with the round stage is small and intimate, no matter where you sit you can see the expressions on the actor's faces. It really personal experience and the musical fits in very well with this type of staging. Also THE CHOREOGRAPHY! Ahhhh It was so good! There were some incredible lighting and they projected things on the tent walls around you, so it felt totally immersive. It was a very unique theatre experience. The tent had air conditioning and bathrooms, it didn't feel very tent like. When we were outside, you could hear some of the music, but when inside You couldn't hear anything. I have no idea how they soundproofed it like that. We even got to talk to some of the actors and they were really kind and lovely. The staff we met were also really lovely. As we were there for the basically the previews, there was a palpable air of excitement and newness. I am excited to see how this production grows. Basically, 10/10 experience.
