The show had a funny side while telling a story that is very serious to the world.
Packed for a Wednesday night in New Jersey. Amazingly beautiful show from start to finish. So good that even my mother stood awake for the whole show and she usually falls asleep during any show!
The Thorn provided an enjoyable evening of theater. The entire cast, (the actor who portrayed the elderly John was a stand out), the set designs and production team did an amazing job! Highly recommend this show and the theater itself! Also, the ushers and bartenders were cheery and deserve recognition too! Bravo!!
Obviously, the greatest story but an enjoyable presentation and very well done.
I thought it was a fabulous production! The set was great and so was the lighting.
What a beautiful way to tell Jesus' story. The performance kept your attention. I laughed, cried, and just watched in awe. It was awesome!
Was real intense to watch knowing the history of our Lord Jesus Christ. And what he had to go threw to save US ALL from our own sins. GOD BLESS ALL THE STAFF MEMBERS!
Beautiful light and sound effects, amazing performance
Did not like the need to as for donations to a cause The actual death of Jesus could have been less graphic
Beautiful show about the Bible and Jesus’s life. Really enjoyed it.
If you are not familiar with the bible and scripture you will not be able to follow : otherwise it is a nice experience
This was our first time seeing it. We were blown away. It was enjoyable and realistic. This format can be limiting and they did a stellar job.
So intense I cried so much. Beautifully executed 🙏💕
It was a beautiful performance. The backdrop was spectacular as was the dancing. However, the narration/narrator was very drawn out each time. It took away from the flow of the show.
First the seating. What would have been great seats turned out to be behind the stage lighting crew and it makes it hard to concentrate when you see lighted monitors and the back of their heads before the stage. If I would have know I would have gotten other seats. In all of the shows I have gone to I have never seen the stage lighting crew in the seats with all the equipment. (NJ PAC) The show itself was good but a little confusing at the beginning. I think it could have been longer to get more of the story in. It seemed rushed. The actors and crew were amazing and the effects as well ( even though the stage crew was in front of me - they did great work.) I left feeing I needed more of Jesus story but other than that well done.
Everything was wonderful. Workers were the most helpful. Seats were perfect if not close enough. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
So awesome! It had a little bit of everything….sadness, grateful, mercy, grace, love and even some humor…..so glad I went!
First time there. From parking to ushers they all were helpful..(i had my 90 year old mother with me). I will go back again.
It was everything we expected! I Surprised my Wife with tickets and she was in "HAPPY"tears during the event!
Beautiful, heartfelt, eye opening rendendition of the bible story. Left me in tears and giving praise
