Looking forward to this.
I’ve never been a fan of JCSS, so I won’t be watching this production. But after its over I will check YouTube for Alice Cooper’s scene. That, I want to see.
This production was written by two ungodly men who did not believe that Jesus Christ was God incarnate.
Tim Rice had this to say about Jesus Christ:
“For me it obviously indicates that, Christ was just a super-prophet who - a fantastic man, who made a big mark on his time, and we don’t really know all that much about him. The fact that an awful lot happened in Christ’s life that could easily be legend, I don’t think diminishes the importance of the legend. But, I think, as the years roll on, in the 20th and 21st centuries, I think less and less people are going to think of Christ as a god, and I think more people are going to see him as a generally good thing. I don’t see him as a god at all, and the opera doesn’t categorically say he wasn’t but I think it leaves the question very open.”
This is just liberal drivel to water down the Biblical and Holy Jesus.
Hmmm. Black Jesus.
I sometimes refer to it as Judas Superstar.
It makes a mockery of Christians.
And finally, it stops abruptly at the death on the Cross, when in fact it was when he rose from the dead that things really started to happen
“Bob Greenblatt (NBC Entertainment chairman) called us and said, ‘”Jesus Christ Superstar” Easter Sunday. It’s irresistible.’”
What’s the buzz, tell me what a-happenin’!
Uhhhh,,,no. The original was eclectic enough, mixing imagery. I’ll watch that. Ted Neely had a powerful voice. I have no interest in this remake. Watch the Passion of the Christ instead.
Pass. Another Trump hater in John Legend along with his annoying wife.
I’m going to shut it off after Alice Cooper’s part.
I saw a live stage production of JCS many years ago with Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson - both from the film. It was fantastic! I found the movie interesting and the soundtrack has some great music and some lyrics that will haunt you.
I am not thrilled with the casting of John Legend as Jesus, but will be watching.
Meh. I’ll pass, most TV stuff is crap anyway.
The movie was second rate.
The meme of the original production, blasphemous, in that it denies the Divinity of Christ.
