Just like the exodus of Moses and the Israelites from Egypt, through the desert, and then the promised land; the production of MOSES has trekked from the stage, through cinemas in the United States, and then on to your living room (or mobile device).
The epic biblical presentation of MOSES started on
stage. First, in the Sight & Sound
Theatres in Lancaster County, PA. It premiered in March of 2014 and ran straight
through April of 2015. MOSES continued
stage production in Branson, MO during the 2016 and 2017 seasons. The Moses stage production was seen and
experienced by 2 million people.
From the live stage, it went to theatres nationwide in the
United States on September 13, 15, and 20, 2018. It was originally scheduled for two shows; the
first on September 13 and the second on September 15; however, due to increased
demand, an additional showing on September 20, 2018 was included.
The cinema showings included a behind-the-scenes look at the
40-year history of Sight & Sound Theatres which has reached more than 23
million visitors.

In case you missed both the stage and cinema showings; not
to worry, as of October 16, 2018 MOSES is now available to watch on your home
Television. The DVD recording involved
filming 2 days, over 4 different shows with 8 cameras. Each show was filmed to show different camera
positions and angles so that the live theater experience can be captured and
enjoyed as much as possible in your own living room.
So, make a bag of popcorn and find you comfy spot. You can get your very own copy of MOSES on
DVD (on Amazon, Walmart, Target, Christianbook.com, Barnes & Noble). It is available digitally via Amazon Prime
Video and can be rented at HD quality for $5.99 or purchased at HD quality for
$12.99. MOSES is also available on
iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/moses/id1435927854)
and can be rented for $4.99 or purchase for $12.99.

Whether you experience or have experienced MOSES on the
stage, the movie theater, or your home; you will see over 60 sets that required
two years to build (with some reaching three stories high), animals including
horses, camels, donkeys, sheep and goats.
There were also over 880 costumes created for the production backed by a
musical score created by Don Harper. Don
Harper is the composer including films as National Treasure, The Lion King 1 ½.
Katie Miller, Corporate Communications Manager, is from the
third generation of the family that started Sight & Sound Music
Theatres. Her goal is “a passionate
experience in both locations [Lancaster, PA and Branson, MO]” and added that
the “experience must be cohesive.” There
are only minor differences between the two theatres; with those differences
being in the Branson location and a result of improvements of the original
Lancaster design.
The journey of MOSES from stage, to the theatre, and to your
living room is like the scene where God makes Moses’ hand leprous and then healed
in an instant, someone says “this is magic.”
But they are corrected by someone who says “This is the hand of God
reaching out.” The hand of God reaches
out so that people may know He is real... The Great I Am. God reaching out so that people may know He
is real matches the core vision of Sight & Sound in “Bringing the Bible to
life” so that people may see and experience God’s Word and we can honor and
love each other.
