Best parts were the set, costumes and "earthquake." After having seen other dramatizations of Christ's life, crucifixion and resurrection (The Passion of the Christ, The Promise, Gospel of John), this play was a bit disappointing. The prerecorded soundtrack/readings could have been much better with more feeling, articulation, etc. The reading just seemed like a reading. I understand it was a drama but the order was changed.
The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs is truely one of the greatest dramas I have ever experienced. The staging, live animals, fine acting, and great seating make this an experience you will never forget. Of all the places we have vacationed, this is our all time favorite. We have attended the play at least seven times in the past few years ...

You have to see this!

I loved it! Everyone should see it at least once. The atmosphere is spiritually moving. Go see it. You won't regret it. The Holy Land tour is neat but not what I was expecting. I will go back to see the Passion Play again!

Loved it everytime We've been there!!! Even the kids loved it too!!! The nicest people go and you can see the play. People actually watch the play instead of talking and running the isles!!!
Great time...also had dinner on the grounds..and was ablre to view other activites on the grounds before show time. PLAY IS LONG...for those that don't know, take a seat cushion or purchase one...stadium seating.
This is a great play I have seen it twice the actors are very good and they use live animals in the play. It's out on the side of a mountain and if you go in the fall of the year it get's quite chilly at night so you better dress warmly and take a wrap. Although you can rent a wrap as I have done before. The seating is also great they let you pick your seating.

Never gets old

As a child, I remember my grandparents taking my sister and I to The Great Passion Play. I used to sit back in amazement because I had never experienced anything quite like it. I've gone back several times as an adult and this past weekend I went back again. Although the script is prerecorded and some of the mystery and awe has escaped me, I ...

The deeply religious tone of this place is a great spiritual vacation, it lifts the spirits. The teachings and demonstrations are very informative and makes you worship God and think about Him. Standing under the huge cross of Christ is so solemn. And the unashamed proclamation of Christ and a short song completes the spiritual experience. I ...

Best Show In Town

I attended a performance of The Great Passion Play in August. It is by far the best show in Eureka Springs. The cast brought to life the last week in the life of Christ. Their outdoor ampitheater is large and impressive. I will recommend The Great Passion Play to my friends. It is a MUST SEE EXPERIENCE!!!
