Branson venue is labor on level of Noah's Ark

When the Sight & Sound Theatre opens in the spring of 2008, it will be Branson's biggest building — at 339,000 square feet — and home to "Noah The Musical," based on the Bible story. The production has a cast of 45 actors, 150 live animals and an equal number of animatronic beasts. While the size of the project is impressive, owners Glenn and Shirley Eschelman say their faith in their God-given mission is worth the investment.
Could be good, but likely a bit too much spectacle and not enough God. 

I don't want to come across

I don't want to come across as a cynic but maybe people need to back off of pushing religion at everybody. I don't mind someone expressing their faith, but imposing it on others is not the solution. Believe it or not, most people go on vacation to relax and to see a spectacle. They don't go to have someone push their beliefs down their throat. If I am going to pay to see a show, I'm going to pay to see a show. Not listen to a sermon. If I want to listen to a sermon, I'll go to church. I don't expect this to make one bit of difference but it's comments like the aforementioned "too much spectacle and not enough God" which makes this country villified. If people would practice their faith privately and not make a public spectacle of it, we would likely not be the target of religious fanatics looking to destroy our way of life. Feel free to pray for my impending doom.

Don't come across then...

Don't go then. Simple as that. No one is holding a gun to your head and making you go. Your comment, "If people would practice their faith privately and not make a public spectacle of it, we would likely not be the target of religious fanatics looking to destroy our way of life." What exactly does that mean? So, basically what you're saying is that since our "way of life" offends other countries and people, then we should change the way we worship and the things we do? I don't think so. Also the comment, "...comments like the aforementioned ' too much spectacle and not enough God' which makes this country villified." just goes to show your exact ignorance of global affairs. You don't want to see "Noah the Musical"? Then don't go. Go to the Toy Museum. Or better yet, read a history book.
