The Thorn Tickets

Everything was amazing! It’s really hard to put into words, because there is really nothing else like it. The Bible meets theater meets cirque, how do you explain that. There was the perfect amount of humor, Biblical accuracy, amazing acting, phenomenal voices, and the punch you in the gut reality of how much Jesus endured simply because he loves me (you too). My 12 year old (me too) had tears running down his face. The silence in the audience followed by the eruption of applause, that says it all. Well done, and a huge thank you to the cast.

Parking $15 too high Started half hour late Then began with poor speakers rather than show First half fair at best. Didn’t like the humor infused in such a serious story. Should have been moving and classic, felt like a mockery at times Intermission began with again speaker who evangelized and asked for money, THEN intermission timer began. Way too long and to top it off they kept adding time to the intermission Seats up high were too difficult to experience the graphic movements. Seats were concrete and had no back, highly uncomfortable Eventually left at the intermission and I have NEVER left a show in my whole life. Thought this would be a fantastic experience during Holy Week, highly disappointed

Loved the narrator. Phenomenal explanation I laughed I cried

This was the most awesome show, such magnificent choreography and the biblical storyline of Jesus Christ from his birth to ministry to crucifixion and resurrection was so well presented it was just all round fantastic, I would highly recommend it to everybody especially nonbelievers who really need to accept Jesus in their lives

BUT I had a blast and would do it again in a heartbeat. My wife is still talking about it ever day..

Could not have asked for a better play and narrative. The effects , actors , message were all phenomenal.

This was a great production, especially to get ready for Easter. Very visual and professionally done.

Absolutely loved it! I pray the message of The Gospel of Jesus will continue to impact lives through this production.

Like one of the other reviews, I had FRONT ROW SEATS, Stage was to high and view blocked, basically missed first half of performance, I went to guest services and the moved me about 20 rows back for the second half, What I saw was outstanding, performers were great, the main orator was fantastic, Would see show again but wouldn’t spend the extra money for floor seats, not with present set up anyway Great performance!!! Sure it would have Ben 5 star if I could have seen entire show

Absolutely loved the show. The center and seating was a different story. Bought floor seats for extra 30 dollars and could barely see the acting due to such low seats. The cheaper seats would have been better and they were only about 8 ft away. The concessions were not up to par either. How do you sell a pretzel without any cheese? Cold hot dogs are very good either.

I have raved about this show to everyone I know. It was amazing. The light, sound, choreography and performance of the entire crew was fantastic.

This play pretty much sums up Jesus’ journey as he spreads the gospel. The events leading up to his crucifixion and the message his resurrection brings. It’s a delightful show and I must say John the Baptist did a great job narrating throughout. I would recommend especially since it’s not terribly expensive.

I purchased front row tickets thinking that I would surprise my wife. The seats were terrible. The Stage was higher than our heads and on top of that they placed lights at the edge making our sight lined block. We were disappointed to say the least. However, the show director (not sure his last name but first name is John) came to the rescue. He took the entire front row and moved them back behind the Sound boards. Although this was not the front row it was still better than what we had. Now let’s talk about the show. It was great. I would go see this again in a heartbeat. The crew worked through the obstacles presented to them by the Arena. The entire performance was excellent. I would recommend seeing this show if the opportunity comes.

We liked the show but the acoustics could have been better. Couldn’t hear the ladies solo toward the end.

It was outstanding story telling of one of the greatest historical events! I cried and laughed throughout.

My whole family enjoyed. Accurate depiction of the resurrection. Heartfelt.

The artistry, dance, commentary …. All just wonderful!

The show is outdated. They took some cool aspects from other shows and slid them into this show but with minimal effort to make them top notch. All in all the show lacked in quality. To top it off after paying for tickets to see the show and paying to park they take about 20 minutes during an intermission and ask for money to be donated to help children in other parts of the world. I’m all for charity but this is not why I go to see these shows. Overall, we were very disappointed with the show. I would not recommend it unless you are ok with mediocre entertainment.

It was our first time going and we absolutely loved every minute of it! The light effects and the talent of the performers are worthy of insurmountable praise!!! Completely exceeded our expectations!! It is officially now a tradition for me to watch it annually. Don’t miss out on such a beautiful event!!!

A passion play attempt that just didn’t inspire. The flying ballet didn’t add anything. John as apostle and story teller was good, but other attempts at inspiring the story of Jesus fell short. We left early.
