“Esther is one of the most riveting stories in the Bible,” said Sight & Sound Chief Creative Officer Josh Enck, who serves as Executive Producer of QUEEN ESTHER. “To see it come to life in all its majesty on our grand stage is going to be magnificent.”

QUEEN ESTHER will premiere at Sight & Sound’s state-of-the-art 2,000-seat theater in Lancaster, PA, where audiences will be transported into the powerful Persian Empire and its opulent royal palace.

The beauty and grandeur of the capital city of Susa will come to life as the production takes place on a 300-foot panoramic stage that engulfs the audience on three sides. QUEEN ESTHER will feature Sight & Sound’s signature lavish costumes, massive sets, stunning visuals, talented cast, soaring musical score and dozens of live animals.

About Sight & Sound Theatres
Sight & Sound Theatres began more than 40 years ago in rural Pennsylvania, where a dairy farmer went from producing milk to producing live entertainment with a purpose. Today that vision has expanded to two state-of-the art theaters in Lancaster, PA, and Branson, MO, where stories from the Bible come to life on stage. Each production features Sight & Sound’s signature massive sets, special effects and live animals. Still family-owned, Sight & Sound’s 675 staff members write, produce, design and build the original shows, drawing nearly 1.5 million audience members from around the world each year.
