Description:

After God reveals to the righteous Noah that a flood will extinguish all life on earth, He charges the man to construct an ark massive enough to shelter his family, any other true believers, and pairs of every species of living creature.

Lacking materials, Noah takes his three sons to Nod, a city in decline. The family tries in vain to convince their friends and neighbors to join them, and are ridiculed and attacked throughout the decades it takes them to fulfill God's command.

Watch Noah and his family try to care not only for themselves while at sea, but for their vast menagerie as well. Experience their stress at being cooped up together for more than a year. When their trying journey is finally complete, marvel at the wonder of God's reward for Noah's unquestioning obedience and devotion to Him.

Directions:

Sight & Sound Theatres is located at 1001 Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, Branson, MO. From Branson, take Route 248 (Red Route) West. Follow Shepherd of the Hills Expressway (Red Route) to the entrance.

2010 Editors' Choice Award - BEST OVERALL PRODUCTION!

NOAH THE MUSICAL WINS "BEST OVERALL PRODUCTION"

EDITORS' CHOICE AWARD

During a non-public meeting BransonCritic.com representative Molly Donohue presented Noah– The Musical representative Mike Pitman with the 2010 Bransoncritic.com Editors' Choice Award for "Best Overall Production."

Molly said "Most of you are familiar with these fine folks from Sight & Sound who have graced us with their presence and insight at past meetings. Today we would like to honor them, and the entire cast, lighting, sound, administration, owners and producers of the fabulous production Noah – The Musical."

I’d like to share with you what one BransonCritic.com editor wrote:
"From the time you enter this…theatre you are presented with a feeling of expectation; one that is fulfilled.…the experience that awaits you is truly spectacular…

Since 1976, Sight & Sound Theatres have brought the most beloved stories of the Bible to life on…In the spring of 2008, one of the most popular theatres on the east coast opened its doors in Branson, MO with Noah-The Musical, featuring a 300-foot wraparound stage with 40 foot high sets, a cast of 50 actors, elaborate costumes, breathtaking special effects, and hundreds of live and animatronic animals. The entire theatre is used in this production…It is a show of unbelievable proportions.

The performances and numerous stage settings transport you from the pages of the Bible to become a member of Noah and his family; sharing the triumphs as well as the struggles. Brought to life is the very realistic human side of Noah and his family as they doubt the possibility of such a daunting task and then the gradual unfolding of the plan and its final completion. Daily routines of caring for the animals and struggles of day to day living are shared. Only their belief that this voyage was ordained by God and that He will sustain their courage allows them to complete this daunting task. With a smooth and realistic flow, the story of Noah, his family and their struggles are lifted from the pages of the Bible and place you at the very scenes from inspiration to preparation to completion….this timeless story you’ve always loved, will become a memory you’ll never forget".

One fan wrote:
"I don't know if it’s possible to write a review about an experience almost beyond belief. How do I describe being in Noah's ark when there is nothing, absolutely nothing that I can compare it to? But we were there. We were there from the beginning as we witnessed Noah receiving instructions from God. We were there for the construction, the destruction, and the rebuilding of the ark. We watched as the animals arrived, two by two, and unafraid.
We were in the ark with Noah, his family, and the animals, when the first drops of rain fell. Together with Noah and his family we grieved for those who had refused Noah’s invitation because we knew their fate. We could hear them outside the ark, but it was too late. We were there when the ark was lifted from dry land by the flood water.
And after many weeks of confinement, anxiety, and…unrelenting rain, we observed family members quarreling and then forgiving. We watched in anticipation when the dove was released and flew over our heads in search of dry land. Noah, The Musical; you’ll laugh, cry, be in awe of the technology, and appreciate the talents of the cast. This was an experience I will never forget. This isn't just food for the soul, it’s a banquet!"

Another fan sums it up by stating:
"Everything about this show and the venue is absolutely flawless….we were…awe struck. The set designs and the acting were nothing less than perfect. This show has everything: singing- but not too much; dancing- but not over the top; humor - but not irreverent; and it reflects the time and place that these events occurred. It was surreal to remember that this did happen, not just a blurb or a fable we hear in Sunday school. I think it’s important to re-tell these stories with the care and respect that this was presented. I applaud the efforts and talents of the cast."

Molly finished by saying "These thoughts echo the many comments our guests and our own staff have conveyed. And so, without further ado I would like to present Sight & Sound with the 2010 BransonCritic.com Editors' Choice Award for Best Overall Production!"

NOAH – The Musical

July 5, 2008

From the time you enter this new theatre you are presented with a feeling of expectation; one that is fulfilled.  The Sight & Sound Theatre claim of “Inspiring Stories and Spectacular Shows,” is definitely not an understatement. While you have probably read or heard about “Noah – The Musical,” the experience that awaits you is truly spectacular.  In an attempt to give you an understanding of this performance, even as I write I know that my words will be inadequate.

FYI - Plan to get there early for two reasons.  1. The street traffic was backed up quite a bit for Saturday's 4:15 p.m. show, but parking was easy once we turned into the theatre’s parking area.  We had no problem getting out of the parking lot after the show.  2. When the curtain opens the other audience members will appreciate not being disturbed.  In other words, please be in your seat before the show starts.  There is a notice on your ticket stating that you may be detained until intermission if you arrive late, after the curtain goes up.

Everything about this show and the venue is absolutely flawless. I took my family and we were all just awe struck. The set designs and the acting were nothing less than perfect. This show has everything, singing, but not too much, dancing, but not over the top, it has humor but not irreverent, and it reflect the time and place that these events occurred. It was surreal to remember that this did happen, not just a blurb or a fable we hear in Sunday school. I think its important to re-tell these stories with the care and respect that this was presented. I applaud the efforts and talents from the cast. I know this show has been running all season (the summer season) and the actors did not seem tired but had such a passion and joy in this, as if it was the first night! I just cannot sing enough praise for this production. Thank you for doing this show! I hope it remains a staple in Branson for years to come!

The show was amazing!! The set design was beyond belief and the use of live animals was great. Particularly when they were boarding the ark! All actors were well prepared and conveyed the emotions and sentiments of their characters honestly and with gusto. The dancing and singing were remarkable although a live orchestra would have been better than the canned music. The seating was comfortable and arrangements were available for small children so that all could have a good view of the stage. There was a lot of comedy mixed in with the telling of the story, but it was appropriate to the scene and not overdone. The house staff was accomidating and friendly.

I feel that anyone, regardless of age, would enjoy the show. The telling of a familiar story was made fresh. All in all, I felt the value of the show was well worth the ticket price. I would be willing to watch it again and again.
