The Miracle

We left for TN at 4:30 Tuesday morning. (Dad's the morning person... NOT me.)

On Tues. evening, we got tickets for "Miracle." It's about $42.00 a person, unless you can prove you live around there, then it's only $9.00. We didn't know about the discount, so we paid full price. However.... The show is WELL worth the money.

It starts with The creation. The ceiling is rigged up with TONS of little lights to look like stars.

Then it goes the the battle (pretty cool sword fight) in which the angels ban Satan out of Heaven.... Yes, the "angels" are rigged up to fly. The Angels were really impressive.... The wings actually move as though they're real throughout the whole play.

Then it goes on to Adam and Eve......Then it skips to the New Testament.

The water into wine scene was impressive as well... There's a fountain on stage pouring water.... Within minutes, the water turns into a darker color.

Oh yes, and the demon possessed woman was very convincing.

The crucifixion scene was well done also. Whenever the soldiers hit "Jesus" with the clubs, blood would be left behind on his chest.

Then it ends with Jesus's resurrection and ascention. (That sure doesn't look like it's spelled right.)

The whole show is a musical and there's not very many speaking parts.



Before the show, they had a "Roman soldier" on horseback standing by the road "advertising". Also, they had 3 lambs and a HUGE camel outside to pet.

We were in the second row, center section. Really good seats. I was afraid at first that we'd have to be trying to look up and over the stage, but it worked out great. Most of the actors are right in front of the stage. The only bad thing was....... We were directly in front of the speakers, and I had a small problem with the fog from the fog machine. Being that close to the front, that fog was "right in our laps." I thought I was going to have to grab my asthma inhaler.

I can see how it could get better and better each year.

They also have an AMAZING gift shop, which is open all day.... Not JUST during the show.

They also have popcorn and drinks (popcorn $3.00 a bag, drinks $2.00 each). Oh, and when you walk in, it's like Dixie Stampede.... You get a picture taken in front of a green sheet. During intermission you can buy the picture.. For $19.00 you get a "Miracle" postcard, magnet, the picture in a nice frame, and your choice of either a T shirt or a mug. I thought the price wasn't that bad for all you get for it.

Oh, and the souvenir shirts are $12.99 a shirt, and available in several colors. Very reasonable for a shirt I thought.

Okay, I'm finished advertising.....

Another thing we discovered.... If you're in Pigeon Forge and you want to see a show....... Buy your tickets at "Black Bear Jamboree." You can buy discount tickets for all the shows except Black Bear Jamboree... We only paid $41.25 for each ticket... If you bought them at Miracle theater, it would've been $48 a person. I know it's only $6.75, but that's still $6.75.

So, what you do is go up there, and ask Ashley to get your tickets. LOL.
