Took my parents to the show. They have never seen an actual live show, and it was a great experience for them.
As a new Christian who just recently met Jesus this was a very emotional and eye opening play, many tears were shed but it made me realize just how much Jesus loved me and what he did for me and every other sinner!
In reading the reviews, I "knew"this was going to be a good show. I was even better than I thought! Wow! If you have a chance, please go see this. We laughed and cried. The performers were amazing and in their portrayal of Jesus' story.
My husband and I went to Knoxville to see The Thorn. It was everything we anticipated and more. The gentleman who played John was amazing. He had our attention the entire time and his sense of humor was wonderful even for the entire family. It’s truly humbling to watch Christs life unfold in front of you. The 2nd half I was sobbing so hard I was literally shaking. You are told over and over how he died for you. However when you see it play out in front of you even though you know it’s just a play it hits you hard. To think of such a perfect man would give his life for me and only by grace. WOW. Thank you Lord 🙏❤️
All my FAMILY love ❤️ it 1000% recommendations so beautiful 😻
Loved it, highly recommended even if you are NOT a believer!!
Absolutely loved it. It left us with wanting more!!
WHAT A GREAT STORY TOLD IN SUCH A GREAT WAY! I thought the first half was a tad slow, but the second half was absolutely one of the best theatrical experiences I've ever seen. If you ever decide to rework the show, I think a little more dialogue from some of the characters would be awesome. I loved John's perspective, his delivery and his presence throughout, but I believe being able to hear some of the story actually told by some of the characters would add to the perspective as well.
Story well told with a little humor interjected. Welled up a lot of emotions concerning the treatment of Jesus in the end.
The story, of course, is and always has been the best. I have never seen it told in a more beautiful way. The acrobatics and acrobatics are incredible. The narrator is both funny and poignant. The story of Christ is beautifully told without many words.
