Since 1968, over 8 million people have seen The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas making it the "#1 Attended Outdoor Drama in America," according to the Institute of Outdoor Drama. The Great Passion Play has received a massive "audio" lift (similar to a facelift, but audio-style) with a new musical score and soundtrack composed and produced by John Stanley (Warner Global Entertainment, Netflix: Love is Blind, America's Got Talent Golden Buzzer Act "The Silhouettes" Multi-Emmy Award Winning Composer Team "CrimeSonics" writing for multiple television series on Hulu, CBS, ABC and many other networks).

The production team flew to Budapest and recorded the entire new musical score with the award winning Budapest Scoring Orchestra (Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, Kobra Kai, Megan, Wednesday and so many more). The score was mixed and mastered for theater by multi-Grammy Award winning mix engineer Rob Burrell (Disney - Marvel Avengers Entertainment Entity, Josh Groban, Carrie Underwood and many others).

Alongside the new musical score and vocal performances, we installed a state-of-the-art sound system from RCF to give a fully immersed surround sound experience. This will be comparable to watching a film with normal surround sound in a movie theater versus experiencing a movie in IMAX, but to a greater degree in sound engineering. This enhanced Dolby Atmos Surround sound experience will be the first of its kind in any live theater venue. When we demoed the speaker setup, the ground literally shook during the scene where Jesus died. This approach to live theater has never been attempted before.
