Is seeing believing?

The show goes on.  

VISION debued in 2002 and was followed shortly by a CD launch at Drury Lane in London, sponsored by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Group.  

Steve Balsamo, who reduced Webber to tears by his portrayal of Jesus in the West End performance of JCS, sings two of the tracks on the VISION CD.

Two major performances are in production this year, 150 years since the apparitions. One is in the UK, the other in Africa.  

VISION has recently been performed in Lagos to packed audiences with incredible reviews.  There is already talk of a re-run in the light of the euphoria that surrounded this amazing African interpretation of the show.

In the UK St. Ives Youth Theatre are busily casting for their performance of Vision 16th - 19th July at the Burgess Hall in St Ives.

Stonyhurst 2009.  Talks are also underway for a touring cast of the St.Ives group to visit Lancashire and perform at Stonyhurst later  this year.  More information coming soon.

Welcome to the VISION website where the story of Bernadette of Lourdes continues to rock through this stunning new musical.  

Vision is fast becoming one of the most talked about musicals of the year.  Nigeria has just seen four awe-inspiring productions ,with incredible direction, bringing an African flavour to the story.   And the momentum continues - Vision is coming to St. Ives in Cambridgeshire in July 08 and performances are being planned for Stonyhurst College in Lancashire later in the year. Discussions are also taking place for further productions in Manchester, Liverpool, London and Lourdes.  

For more information about Lourdes and the story of St. Bernadette take a look at the official Lourdes website.
