I saw this play as a middle school child and remember being awed by it. During the performance, my little brother was so enthralled in the performance that he said, "Dad, let's get out of here. If they would do that to Jesus, what will they do to us?" I saw it again in my 20's and remember the same... more

This was a good idea at one time, but it is not worth it anymore. I've seen better plays at local churches. The Dialouge was all pre-recorded and sounded hollow. The distance from the set made it hard to see clearly. Special effects were low budget. There were a couple of sceenes that aren't excatly found in the Bible; but... more

We went as a sunday school class to the "Great Passion Play". We also went through the Holy Land Tour and Museums. I have to agree with some of the other reviews in the fact that the prerecorded dialogue did not have very much emotion, or it was emotion in wierd spots, but the play was still very good. The... more

All I can say about this play is, are you kidding me? I had seen the play once as a child, so I don't remember whether it used to be good or not. That said, I watched the play on Memorial Day weekend 2008 an now you couldn't pay me enough to go see it again. It was probably the... more

I had seen the Passion Play four years ago and really enjoyed the performance. This new version does not come close to the earlier version. There is too much time when people are just milling around with no dialogue. I spent a lot of time looking at the Big Dipper just to have something interesting to look at. The manner... more

My boyfriend and I just returned from Branson, MO, last month. We were given free complementary tickets to the New Passion Play while in Branson, and were told that we could use the tickets any time. However, I noticed that there was an expiration date on the tickets which said that they expire July 8, 2008. When we were in... more

There is so much to do at the Passion play that it almost is a two day excursion.

The buffet is Excellent add it... more

I've watched the Great Passion Play twice in the past two years. The production is an excellent and moving play which truly depicts the last days of Jesus. I would recommend anyone who wants to know more about the last week of Jesus to those that simply want to be inspired by what they watch to catch the Great Passion... more

The outdoor "Passion Play" was amazing as well as very awe inspiring. Your heart will soar at the resurrection scene as well as the acension of Christ! It was very well produced as well as being biblicly accurate. We will be back to see it again. We also greatly enjoyed the "New Holy Land" tour, it was very helpful in... more

The Passion Play is the highlight of a trip to Eureka Springs Arkansas. A quaint community provides plenty to do during the day but it is the Passion Play that steals the show at night. Make sure you take the Holy Land Tour during the daytime hours. more
