Jesus Christ Superstar will be done live on Easter night on television. It's always been a controversial portrayal, but the music is rather iconic. Will you watch? Will you not? What do you think of this musical overall?
You’re right about Judas. He’s portrayed as having no choice in The movie.I saw this show in the early 80s because I won tickets. The music is wonderful however there is no religious expierence here in my opinion. Judas portrayed as being destined to do this gets him off the hook. However I see him as being chosen because God forsaw what he would do.
It’s been 30 years since I saw this play so if I’m remembering wrong please correct me.
I watched the whole thing. Stunning all the way. I was impressed. And Alice played that part to the hilt! lolI was lucky enough to flip over right before Alice Cooper* did the Herod Song. Masterful. Great casting.
As usual, no idea who the other people are, but that was really entertaining.
*For our younger viewers who may not know, Alice Cooper has a stage act that is one part magic show, one part horror movie, with really hopped up Chuck Berry style tunes. And the only non professional golfer pitchman for Callaway Golf.
Judas did exactly as he was intended to do. Sad but some of us are here to do big things some just a smile at the right person.You’re right about Judas. He’s portrayed as having no choice in The movie.
As for watching it, maybe Ashleigh and I will watch it tonight. But it might be hard with no tv
Alice Cooper is in it.. Yes. But only if my Fox cartoons are reruns. I am a sucker for these types of live TV shows. Sound of Music. Grease. Rocky Horror Picture Show.
