Sight & Sound Theaters will present its first-ever live worldwide broadcast of “Queen Esther” after its stage production was canceled earlier this year due to lockdown orders in response to the novel coronavirus.

The live performance will be available to watch on Sight and Sound’s new streaming platform sight-sound.tv on Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. Eastern time along with other stage productions by Sight & Sound Theaters on Labor Day weekend.  . . .

The show had sold over 550,000 tickets but after Gov. Tom Wolf issued executive orders limiting indoor gatherings, the theater was forced to cancel its performances.

“This year has been incredibly challenging, but we continue to see the faithfulness of God each step of the way,” Katie Miller, corporate communications manager of Sight & Sound, told The Christian Post on Monday. “After canceling over 200 shows, and knowing that hundreds of thousands of people would not be able to experience the powerful message of ‘Queen Esther,’ we knew we had to do something.”

“With the future still uncertain, not knowing when we will be able to welcome full crowds again, we prayerfully began walking toward the idea of the first ever live broadcast of a Sight & Sound show,” Miller continued. “We are so thrilled to be taking this next step of extending the ministry beyond our walls and offering ‘Queen Esther Live!'” . . .

“Esther chose courageous faith in the face of chaos, fear, and uncertainty. We could not think of a more timely story to shine bright in the midst of this challenging year,” Miller declared.

“This show is truly meant for such a time as this,” Sight & Sound Chief Creative Officer Josh Enck said in a statement shared with CP.

The live event will feature a pre-show, a 20-minute intermission, as well as behind-the-scenes interviews, a tour of the set, and a look into how the production was created.

“The thrill of live theater is watching the show unfold right before your eyes,” Enck added. “We’re so excited to bring that same experience to living rooms all across the world.”

This is a true gift to be able to see a Sight and Sound production without actual travel to their theaters. Their productions are always first-class, creative and faithful to the Word. No doubt a must see.

Father, bless and keep the businesses that were shut down especially those where they did not need to be because the threat is low. Bless and anoint the play and the players. Help the Truth about Covid’s WEEKLY DECREASES in deaths and hospitalizations sound forth by righteous media outlets and grant people repentance and discernment regarding mail in voting. If we can go buy food we can vote. Halt the ungodly rise of aggression in China, and help their Christians and our Believers to PRAY in AUTHORITY in Jesus’ name.

    You have already stretched forth the scepter of acceptance of us (like in Esther) because of our identification with Jesus Christ, strengthen the Intercessors in America, Amen.
