On
Palm Sunday, March 20, 2016 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed),
FOX will present
THE PASSION, a two-hour musical event, airing LIVE from
New Orleans, that tells the 2000-year-old story of the last hours of
Jesus Christ’s life on earth. Hosted and narrated by actor, writer,
producer, director and New Orleans native Tyler Perry (“The Haves and
The Have Nots,” “Gone Girl”), the special will feature a cast of today’s
biggest stars (to be announced) performing a variety of popular music,
arranged by executive producer and hit music producer Adam Anders
(“Glee,” “Rock of Ages”).
Set in modern day, THE PASSION will follow the dramatic and
inspirational story of Jesus of Nazareth, as he presides over the Last
Supper, and then is betrayed by Judas, put on trial by Pontius Pilate,
convicted, crucified and resurrected. The story will unfold live at some
of New Orleans’ most iconic locations, while featuring a procession of
hundreds of people carrying a 20-foot, illuminated cross from Champion
Square outside the Superdome to the live stage at Woldenburg Park on the
banks of the Mississippi River.
