MOSES - Exodus from stage, the big screen, and now your home TV


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.
Original Cinema showings for September 13 and 15, 2018 in theaters nationwide.

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.
