Didn't like the way this was done. Started here, went there. Now someone's singing, why I don't understand. Tyler Perry talks, let's introduce the characters - that's good because I had no clue who they were by looking at them. Now there's Mary in a TIGHT royal blue dress with a bit of cleavage. I guess we're really going to take the Passion story in a different direction. Whether I am or am not a prude is not my concern here. Mary wouldn't have been caught dead in a dress that showed her body - modernized version or not. The audience and flashing to Orleans auditorium was distracting. Why do I have to write 10 lines? This is a ridiculous rule. I just wanted to say that this production was not worth my time to try to watch and was way off what I think the Bible would have portrayed as the story of Jesus in modern days.
This was so different than I expected! It was more like being in church :) This rendition of the final days of Jesus's ministry was very biblical in all of the words spoken. The songs were excellent and I got chills watching the ending of this modern adaptation. It WAS just that, an adaptation, not the full story so all have to keep this in mind. Anyway, giving it a 9 as I could have used more acting instead of the procession conversations although the interviews were great. Loved seeing Yolanda and Michael W. in this also as they are oldies but goodies! Daughtry, Seal and Trisha AND Jencarlos all did an excellent job!
As a Christian. I felt appalled by this. I'm sorry but this does not have anything to do with God. This is just a show. Come on!!! This is actually annoying. You just cant bring secular music into Christianity. "When love takes over" by Kelly Rowland. Like are you kidding me? There are many Gospel songs out there. I was just about to stop writing and post this then "Whitney Houston's "your love is my love" comes up. I'm done. Tyler Perry explains stuff from the bible and then they user worldly songs. Please and please if you want to do an Easter concert, get in contact with Jesus and ask Him what He wants you to do. My goodness. It's just a showcasing of famous people and a lot of stuff about the hurricane. Why don't you try to truly worship and praise and focus on Jesus with meaningful songs based on scripture. Arrgggghhh.
I was so excited to watch this when I saw the advertisements and that some of my favorite singers were in the cast, but I was disappointed when I watched it. I very much enjoyed the music and the parts that were acted out, but I didn't like how most of it was simply Tyler Perry standing on a stage narrating. I also didn't like how Mary was completely separate from the rest of the story. The carrying of the illuminated cross didn't seem to fit in with the story, either. It would have been great if the whole thing could have been acted out. There was so much potential here, but it was very poorly executed.
The Passion is an annual event in Holland. It started of small but has by now become quite the event. It depicts the last days of Jesus Christ from his arrival in Jerusalem until his (mercifully never shown) crucification and resurrection. The Passion features pop-songs which are appropriate for the scenes in which they are sung. Most acting scenes are pre-recorded. There is a large stage with a big choir and musicians who perform the songs live. The storyteller introduces the scenes and the singer who portrays Mary sings her songs live from the stage. I remember the first time it came on in Holland it was really modest and really....not that good. I thought this first US attempt situated in New Orleans was rather good. I liked the song-choices. Trisha Yearwood, Seal and Chris Daughtry were excellent. I never heard of JenCarlos Canela and to be sure he isn't a stereotype kind of Jesus. But he does portray a gentle and vulnerable Jesus. And Tyler Perry was an excellent story-teller. Big thumbs up for all involved
