Noah

Have you seen it yet? You know the biggest new show in Branson. Noah The Musical at the Sight & Sound Theatre. Todd and I were fortunate enough to get tickets at a really really low price! So we got are hair did and got all snazzied up for the big show last night. We are not real big into seeing shows in Branson, or anywhere for that matter, but we did enjoy the story. Since Noah is a Musical we were a little scared, because a couple years ago we saw the musical "Daniel and the Multicolored Coat" (or whatever it's called) and we about left at intermission. It's like can you just speak a part and not put it to a stinkin musical note! geez. So Noah was a whole lot better, they talked and sung but the singing wasn't so overwhelming that we wanted to leave.
Our seats were front row and center. I kid you not. Row A (front row). Seat 42 and 43 (smack dab in the center of the stage). Speakers in front of our face, hearing was not a problem. When the fog machine turned on we were in for it because it not only covered the stage it covered us! At times we couldn't even see what was going on because we were IN the smoke affect. I wish I wrote a comment about that! Was it even necessary?! geez! OH and the best part was we could actually see the tape on the performers faces. They had tape to keep their mics in place and tape to keep their terrible wigs on. It was great; to laugh at. lol. And the exaggerations of emotions in the performers face was over-the-top at times, oh so gay.

The stage had great presence, even though we couldn't see the floor of the stage, I'm sure it looked good too. The props, the scenes, the detail was magnificent. Honestly, they spent a great deal of time, money and pride into the background. The Ark was huge! The animals, some real, some fake, brought life to the stage. The Ark "guts" wrapped around the audience. We had to look behind us on each side to see some animals and scenes. As you can tell the building is huge! They use every bit of it.

They end the show with a message from Jesus. Asking each person to evaluate their lives and their everlasting life.
The show in general is great. I've seen the Passion Play and the Nativity Scene, so it was a real delight to see something that I have not seen before. If you're going to spend 3 hours doing something, it might as well be watching the Musical Noah waving your hands in front of your face in order to see through the fog machine's fog.
