Risen! from the album Risen!- The Musical featuring the Original Cast – recorded and produced by Joffy Girling

So tomorrow Risen The Movie is released and on April 9th Risen! – The Musical is being filmed. So what is the difference? Well for a start Risen- The Movie www.risen-movie.com is showing at the Vue Cinema in Gun Wharf whereas Risen!- The Musical www.risenthemuscal.com will be playing at the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth on April 9th and 10th.
Both “Risens” are, of course focused on the Resurrection of Jesus and approach it from a Christian perspective. One is backed by Sony Pictures the other by charity Mustard Seed Songs- One is a play the other a musical.
Risen- The Movie portrays the first forty days after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and is told through the eyes of an agnostic Roman Centurion charged by Pontius Pilate to investigate rumors of a risen Jewish Messiah and locate the missing deceased body of Jesus of Nazareth in order to subdue an imminent uprising in Jerusalem. During the Centurion’s mission, his doubts of such a supernatural occurrence peel away as he encounters the Apostles and other historic biblical characters and bears witness to the legendary stories that followed.

Risen!- The Musical begins a little earlier – one week before Jesus was crucified and concludes with His Ascension to heaven. It is seen through the eyes of all Jesus’ followers including Mary His Mother, Mary Magdalene, Mary wife of Clopas and the twelve disciples. It is a faithful synopsis of the Gospel accounts from the Bible. It features the eighteen strong London Touring Cast and is portrayed through acting, song, recitative and dance. It is being filmed by Global Fire Creative for broadcast on Cable TV.

Sorry there is no room today for another jigsaw piece of why God allows suffering in the world- but there will be next week I promise.
