I know what your thinking Noah. . . the Musical? Really?? Yes! In my Pollyanna world everything is better as a musical. Whats not to love about a good musical? This show was so much more!
Most everyone knows and loves the story of Noah, with its flood, its ark and its animals marching in two-by-two. Branson’s Millennium Theater is currently running Noah-The Musical featuring more than 40 actors, along with 75 live animals and 75 animatronic ones. The new Millennium Theater is Branson’s largest building and the country's largest Christian theatre.
The cast, animals and robots included, performs on a 330-foot (100-metre) wrap-around stage in a 339,000-square-foot building. The theatre's dome, which resembles an ancient temple, can be seen from many points around Branson. The huge complex has its own training facility and indoor zoo for zebras, camels, donkeys, llamas and even skunks. The animals are trained to handle stage lights, applause and music. The kids were thrilled as llamas and monkeys parade down the theatre's aisles to board the four-story ark. The musical will run for two years before the company adds new shows, on other biblical themes.
The show is a definite must see if you are in Branson. I’m sure many attend just for the sheer enjoyment of all the live animals and the majestic-ness of the show. What I really liked was the directors take on how Noah’s family may have responded to a hundred years of ridicule as they built the ark; and the interaction between the family members once they were confined on the ship.
