tripadvisorThis production is outstanding! The passion is displayed accurately & beautifully! With the set, it is like you are there! Must see!!
MoreThe play was more than we expected. It was done well, we wondered if the sound would be able to carry in such a big outside area, but it was great. Of course the setting and costumes and players were great. If you are thinking about going...you won't be disappointed. We loved it.
MoreThere is so much to be said about this place that holds a special place in my heart. I came as a young child and was fortunate to get to bring my children now 25 years later!The play: The play did not disappoint. It was much like I remembered it to be. My kids loved it. They were captivated the entire time. My 9yo daughter’s first words were “That was the best live movie ever!” My 11 yo son insisted that “this was the best part of the trip” and “he would make the drive just to see this again”. (That is a large compliment as he isn’t fond of drives and ours is a 9.5 hour drive there!)The play held true to the scripture (only adding a few changes to show more of the story in a smaller window of time) and was a wonderful way to try and imagine what it might have looked like to be present.Other than the play we enjoyed the Holy land tour. The staff was very knowledgeable in the history of their biblical characters and they opened a view of what life may have looked like during the time.We also visited the museum which has a vast collection of information and historical items or replicas to add to the whole picture.We also visited the “Christ of the Ozarks” stature which we found out from a volunteer is the 4th most visited statue in the US.Nearby the statue is a small garden with a large cedar cross that is sure to bring the whole experience to an emotional connection. Stand directly in front of the cross, looking up at it and speak. The sound of your voice echos back in a surreal way. This would be a great place to come to cry out and leave your burdens at the foot of the cross.The best part of the place though is the multitude of people that volunteer there. Everyone really showed their love of Christ, and their great passion for carrying out His service in this area of ministry. It was an exemplary experience to be surrounded by them and feel their love as they dutifully fulfilled their different roles and responsibilities.Whether you are a fellow believer or a nonbeliever, I would suggest this as a wonderful place to spend a peaceful day in the Ozarks.
MoreWe saw this play at least 20 years ago, and it was good then. This time it was even better than we recalled. Great cast and costumes. The buildings and props are well done. Overall it was a great performance. The side shows which are roughly 30 minutes long are also very entertaining and worthwhile. The gift shops are also very nice, as well as the Bible Museum. In all, it makes for a great place to visit. The buffet provided a good selection of salads, entrees and desserts, but we did find the food a little on the bland side. That said, I know they can't use seasoning which others might not like. So salt & pepper to taste.
MoreThis play is very well done. I had no idea how large the amphitheater is. They say it seats 4,000 people. We were only half full the evening we went. We also attended the buffet which was very good. All the lines moved quickly. Excellent acting and quick moving story of Jesus suffering, death and resurrection! Thank you Lord, and thank you actors of the Ozark’s for performing such a lifelike reenactment of the Passion of Christ.
