The Great Passion Play

I lived in Berryville, Ar in 2001 and we used to go and see this play and loved it! they tell me back in the day the play was live which means the actors voices were real, when I saw the play it was pre-​recorded but it was still a great play. Watching the play outside in the cool evening breeze was a treat and the restaurants would stay open a little longer due to them waiting for the play to end which was a treat. Awesome town with a Christmas village feel to it, if I had the money I would buy a bed & breakfast there and retire.

My husband and I went to Eureka Springs for our 1 year anniversary. Oct. 10^th we went to the play and absolutely loved it! It was amazing to see how many people and animals were involved in this play production. There was nice music and lighting drama as well in certain scenes of the play. We both loved that they kept to accurate scripture and didn’t add anything that wasn’t in the Bible. The cast spoke in easy to understand language of today’s time and made the scenes were very easy to understand for anyone watching. Great ministry tool for those that don’t know the Lord! We had a really great time!

What a lovely place! Many things to see like a piece of the Berlin Wall or the Christ of the Ozarks. Cute little shops too! We spent a couple of hours here while driving through and it was well worth it. Plenty of parking and kind visitor guides.

Great in so many ways, purchased combo ticket $ 41 if you would like the buffet its $ 13 more which I didn’t purchase price for just play is $ 25 .The tour included a journey thru Jesus life alpha/​omega. Tour which require some walking up hill, live animals and great story tellers of the story along the journey. The play was beautiful a bit drawn out but hey it was Jesus. Everyone at the park is very helpful and informative if anyone needed assistance, wheel chairs and golf carts were there to transport. Seating is stadium wise for play so every spot is a good spot. Water available thru out the whole park for just a $ 1, once play begins they sell $ 3 popcorn but don’t bother burnt/​old didn’t bother asking when it was popped didn’t want them to lie on holy ground. I would suggest school age children smaller ones just wanted to run around much like myself and it wasn’t much that would capture their attention. It’s a nice experience and everyone should check it out, and I’m not churchy and I enjoyed it

My wife and I had both been as children and decided to take our own kids on the Christian Mecca that The Great Passion Play seems to be. We really did enjoy seeing the story again. The slightly uncomfortable chairs had us wishing it ended about 15 minutes sooner. Our kids (8 & 10) loved seeing the play. They know all of the story so it was very familiar to them, but this was probably the first time they had seen so much of it stitched together at once. They were not impatient with the length of the play (1 hour 45 minutes), and they were rather impressed with a few of the special effects. The weeknight showing allowed us to have our pick of seats without rushing into a crowd. Parking and traffic were very manageable. Be sure to drive down to see the Christ of the Ozarks statue before you park. Don’t miss this experience if you are stopping in Eureka Springs.

This is a great interpretation of Christ’s final days. I actually think it has improved since I last saw it. Great for families (though personally, I’d be careful taking little-​bitty kiddos (the crucifixion may be a bit scary, though it is not overly gory.)
They have a great snack bar and isn’t too pricey.
We didn’t see any of the side shows, but did purchase the «Parabales of the Potter» DVD and it was quite good! Make sure to check out Christ of the Ozarks too!
Wonderful for folks of all ages!

Not as good as original I saw in the 70’s. I guess all things must change!
