Now in its 6th season in Sioux Falls, The Passion and the Cross is a sweeping, two-act musical event—2 hours and 7 minutes long—featuring a cast of nearly 130 adults and children, the largest ensemble ever to grace the Orpheum stage.
This production invites audiences on a breathtaking journey back to the first century, to walk the dusty roads of Judea and witness the life, sacrifice, and triumph of Jesus Christ in a way unlike anything you’ve seen before. Both intimate and epic, it is a deeply poignant work of art—one that speaks to the human heart while boldly proclaiming the truth of Christ and His Kingdom on earth.
Through original, soul-stirring ballads and powerful orchestration, the story unfolds with emotional depth and dramatic force—drawing you in, holding your attention, and speaking directly to your life. Every moment remains faithful to the biblical account, honoring not only the beauty of the music and storytelling, but the truth of Scripture itself.
Jesus is not merely a historical figure or a celebrated icon. He is far more than a superstar. As Scripture declares, He is the risen and living God—the giver of life in all its fullness (John 10:10).
Come. See. Listen. Experience the story that changed the world—for yourself.
