THE GREATEST STORY EVER... SUNG ON THE ALL-NEW LIVE EVENT "THE PASSION" SUNDAY, MARCH 20, ON FOX

Tyler Perry, Trisha Yearwood, Seal, Jencarlos Canela, Chris Daughtry and Prince Royce Star in The Inspirational Live Television Event

Special Opening Performance by Grammy Award-Winning Singer Yolanda Adams

THE PASSION, written by Peter Barsocchini ("High School Musical"), tells the 2000-year-old story of the last hours of Jesus Christ's (Jencarlos Canela) life on earth through passages from the Bible and a variety of contemporary popular music, sung by the cast, and arranged specifically for this event by executive producer and hit music producer Adam Anders ("Glee," "Rock of Ages"). Set in modern day, Tyler Perry narrates the event, which follows the dramatic and inspirational story of Jesus of Nazareth, as he presides over the Last Supper with his disciples, and then is betrayed by Judas (Chris Daughtry), put on trial by Pontius Pilate (Seal), convicted, crucified and resurrected. The event will unfold live at some of New Orleans' most iconic locations, while featuring a procession of a thousand people carrying a 20-foot, illuminated cross from outside the Mercedes Benz Superdome to the live stage at Woldenberg Park on the banks of the Mississippi River. Don't miss the all-new inspirational live television event THE PASSION, airing Sunday, March 20 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. (SP-1615) (TV-PG L)
