The Thorn Tickets

Until I serendipitously saw an ad regarding this event, I had never heard of "The Thorn."It appears that in the past, Indianapolis must not have been considered a top tier city, worthy to embrace something like this. Well, shame on whomever selected the venues in the past, as Clowes Hall was packed and the crowd was loudly appreciative. As for me, I was completely blown away! As a devotee of shows such as "Jesus Christ, Superstar,""Godspell,"and movies such as "The Passion of the Christ,"I love strong, Christian shows/movies that at least attempt to stay as close to the Gospel, as they possibly can, given the variances in direction or production. I was completely in awe of this event from the moment it began. The use of every tool in a stage show's toolbox provided something for every viewers' senses. In the opening act, the depiction of God creating the earth and the universe was visually stunning, and I loved the addition of aerialists, which added another dimension to the performance. From the depiction of Satan's treachery and subsequent banishment from Heaven (along with his minion fallen angels), to the joy of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, then ending with their subsequent despair from being banished from Eden after believing Satan's temptation, everything was a sensory masterpiece! The use of aging apostle John as the narrator of the story, languishing on Patmos, was both surprising and masterful, and moved the story along nicely. But it was the second act that tore my heart to shreds. All the events leading up to Christ's crucifixion were so visually beautiful, yet poignantly sorrowful, I could barely make it through the familiar last days portrayal. The warnings given about the disturbing (and graphic) images in the second act were needed. I think I cried almost completely throughout the rest of the show. I've never seen anything like it and may never again. I won't give anything else away, other than to say the ending was as visually beautiful, if not more so than the beginning. Which is true to the Gospel, as it should be. Kudos to everyone involved in this production, from the creators, writers, directors, actors, dancers, aerialists, set and costume designers, to the stage and cleaning crew! I thank God I was able to see this show, from truly fabulous seats, before I leave this earth to see eternal glory for myself. I can't wait!

Loved the story teller he was serious but also a great comedian made it more welcoming. Loved all of the people using their talents in such a positive way!

AMAZING SPECIAL EFFECTS, MUSIC, DANCING AND OF COURSE, JOHN!!!

This was the best depiction of Jesus Christ life story that I have ever experienced. It was told in a fun but loving manner. I was brought to tears when I saw how much Jesus endured on the cross to save humanity. The Thorn truly is a beautiful story of the life of Christ, no greater love than to lay down your life for another. I’m still blown away, this production gets all thumbs up.

Really didn’t know what to expect as this had never toured to St Louis before. It was fantastic! This is a must see for everyone, believers or not. The dancing, acting and acrobatics were amazing! God loves us all and this show was about all that He endured for us.

Epic production. Hands down one of the best passion experiences I have ever witnessed.

This was done in such a way that it brought both the younger generation and the older generation all together in pure love. You could feel it in the room as the most beautiful story that was ever told was reenacted in a very unique way. If you have the opportunity to see this in your city you should go! Take you entire family. Bring a tissue, there will not be a dry eye in the house. Let your heart be filled with love and spread the word of God. May peace be with you my beloveds.

I didn’t know what to expect. I saw an ad for this play pop up on my feed and the reviews were positive so I bought tickets. Best decision I ever made in my life, besides marrying my wife and asking God into my life. This play made me laugh, cry, get angry and rejoice. I would go again today. I never been to a play where the narrator was the only person who talked BUT IT WORKED. It kept my attention. I was riveted. There was a lot of sniveling and tears shed that night (as a strong man, I kept it together…almost). Overall a must see play. Much better than what you see at Branson (yes I said that).

From beginning to end an amazing performance. I experienced so many different emotions, action packed and so much talent.

The show was extraordinary, deeply entertaining, and educational. What made it even more special was how it reminded me of the unending love of Jesus, which touched my heart in a profound way!!! I can’t thank you enough ??????
