The Word, A Gospel Opera
An Original Musical by
Bill Monaghan
Join us on a whirlwind odyssey from the beginning of the Old Testament through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The cast of THE WORD will lead you on a journey of emotion from clapping and singing, to the tears of Marys lullaby to Jesus after his death, only to be outdone by the joy of His Resurrection. THE WORD, a contemporary rock opera, shows how THE WORD was God, how Christ embodies THE WORD and how Jesus Christ fulfilled the Old Testament. Listen to Adam, Eve, Noah, Moses, David and Isaiah sing their stories about their relationship with God and their place in salvation history. Follow Jesus Christ in a musical tour from His first encounter with John the Baptist through His temptation in the desert, to His instruction on how to pray, through the Last Supper and His crucifixion. Finally rejoice in His Resurrection! No other rock opera has been so sweeping in its coverage of the Old and New Testament as THE WORD. This fully staged musical, in two acts, contains 22 original songs which evangelize and communicate the message of Christ using musical styles as varied as reggae, modern rock, Motown, gospel and doo wop. THE WORD offers the young cast an opportunity to minister to the world and to show the fire they have for Christ. Nothing compares to the energy of young Christians dancing and singing their way through salvation history and telling the story of Jesus Christs life, with joy and passion.
