The Thorn tells the story of Jesus and the epic, spiritual battle for hearts and minds. The story begins with the creation of the world and weaves through time, highlighting the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, ending with the formation of the early church. The Thorn is told predominantly through the lens of John the Beloved as we experience his memories. The Thorn is not a traditional musical or play. Epic scenes come to life using narration, drama, dance, stunts, aerial arts and big visual effects.
The runtime is 2 hours and 30 minutes, including a 15 minute intermission.
The show contains special effects such as fire, haze/low fog, strobe and loud music.
