ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS BRINGS SIGHT & SOUND'S PREMIERE STAGE SPECTACLE "JOSHUA--LIVE!" TO THE BIG SCREEN NATIONWIDE OCTOBER 30, 2026
Filmed in front of a live audience, "JOSHUA‚—Live!" marks the second theatrical release from Roadside Attractions and Sight & Sound following the success of "A GREAT AWAKENING"
LANCASTER, Pa. and LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of Sight and Sound's milestone 50th anniversary, Roadside Attractions will release, "JOSHUA—Live!," the brand-new stage production of "JOSHUA" and one of the Bible's most redemptive stories, only in movie theaters nationwide October 30, 2026.
From the banks of the Jordan River to the towering walls of Jericho, "JOSHUA—Live!," is a miraculous adventure for the whole family, complete with a powerful message of radical trust. "Often, when we think about Joshua's story, we picture the moment the trumpets blast and the walls of Jericho come down. But, before a single brick could fall, the Israelites had to first learn to arm themselves with trust in the Lord," shared Creative Producer Ryan Miller.
With cameras covering Sight & Sound's spectacular 300ft. wraparound stage, every scene was captured up-close for an immersive movie theater experience. Audiences can expect to enjoy an original gospel-infused soundtrack, state-of-the-art technology and special effects, and a cast of live animal actors including camels, horses, donkeys, llamas, pigs, sheep, goats, and more!
JOSHUA—Live! Synopsis
Journey alongside the people of Israel as they navigate their new-found freedom in an unforgiving wilderness. When Joshua is called to replace Moses as their faithful leader, tensions mount in the midst of dwindling supplies and approaching armies. With one last fortified city standing between the Israelites and the Promised Land, unexpected help emerges from behind enemy lines and Joshua's trust in God's plan is put to the ultimate test.
"In preparation for working with Sight & Sound on our successful release of A GREAT AWAKENING, we also had the privilege of seeing one of their live stage shows." Roadside Attractions Co-Presidents Howard Cohen and Eric d'Arbeloff remarked. "It's no mystery why fans travel from throughout the world to see them. With JOSHUA—Live!, Sight & Sound has created a beautiful cinematic capture of this powerful story. We are thrilled to be bringing Sight & Sound's inspiring work to cinemas again."
As one of the nation's largest faith-based entertainment companies, Sight & Sound has spent the last five decades producing original stage productions attended by more than 1.5 million people each year between their two theater locations in Lancaster, PA and Branson, MO. With additional audiences reached through their global streaming platform and feature films, Sight & Sound connects with more than four million guests around the world annually.
"We know not everyone can travel to us or visit our theaters," shared Katie Miller, VP of Brand Development at Sight & Sound, "so we're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to bring this message of God's mercy right to families at their local movie theater and inspire them to be strong and courageous."
"JOSHUA—Live!", is coming to movie theaters nationwide beginning October 30. Tickets are on sale now at JoshuaLiveMovie.com.
