Once in Lifetime - An iconic experience. The performers, chorus, and orchestra were wonderful. The music spectacular. The sheer magnitude of the event is an amazing experience. Add to that the historical significance of the play and it is a once-in-a-lifetime event. The village is charming and only a little touristy. Be careful if you book a village-sponsored tour and make sure you check out the accommodations before you book. We were extremely disappointed in ours - although they were walking distance to the downtown - WHICH IS A MUST! I've been fortunate to attend the Passion Play twice in my lifetime. It was just as wonderful the second time as it was 50 years earlier Pro-tip: make sure to take a small flashlight to read the play. The final act takes place well after dark.
