AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Just in time for the holidays, a new, contemporary production of the Nativity story—He Rules The World—premiered early in December 2022 to entertain audiences in Austin, Texas with Broadway talent through song, narration, and imagery at the Dell Theatre. He Rules The World is a captivating live-concert and video experience that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas. The show features animations by Wonderstory and performances by internationally acclaimed talent, including vocalist David Gaschen (The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway), Narrator Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, God’s Not Dead), and more.

He Rules the World features a live band with singers supported by projected animation, motion graphics, and lights, along with narration by Kevin Sorbo.
“He Rules the World is such a fresh and exciting way to celebrate the birth of Jesus. I was honored to narrate the animation for the show,” said actor Kevin Sorbo. “The music is stellar with elements that are both familiar and new.”
