A new initiative that was ‘inspired by the fact that some other musicals treated Jesus Christ as nothing more than a man, this musical ‘Nicodemus’ shows Jesus as the Son of God, complete with the Resurrection. 

It  revolves around the inner turmoil that besets Nicodemus, the Chief Teacher of Israel, when he is confronted with the works of  Jesus. Torn between a life of luxury, privilege and entitlement on the one hand and the devastating loss of everything he has worked for and achieved in life on the other, ‘Nicodemus’ contains the elements of betrayal, intrigue and personal anguish.

The musical contains a cast and crew of around 60 people from just on 30 churches and denominations throughout Sydney, and will be performed with a live orchestra.

The musical event is making its debut in Sydney and will be presented over seven performances in the Main Hall at Covenant Christian School from Wednesday March 21, 2012 to Saturday March 31, 2012, the lead up to Easter.
