Fathom Events and SimonSays Entertainment invite you to experience the Passion of Jesus as you have never seen it when the new and original musical, Easter Mysteries, comes to select cinemas nationwide for an incredible one-night cinema event on Tuesday, March 22.

Directed by Daniel Goldstein (2011 Broadway revival of Godspell) and brought to you from Tony Award®-winning producers and a veteran Broadway cast, this uplifting musical is a celebration that sheds a new light onto a historical story in human terms - ordinary people with hopes, dreams and fears, uncertain of what lies ahead.

This first-rate production offers audiences the chance to see, feel and hear real peoples' experiences of this touchstone story of Western Civilization in a fresh and moving way.
