I think this should be an annual thing with a new cast each year
But the same Judas please!

Huh. It felt like What's The Buzz was shortened and a Hossanah was missing. But I'm also seeing the original in my head so I might be confused!

Okay. I enjoyed it, mainly due to the music and of course the company of Reeny!

But John Legend fell short of my already lowered expectations.

Would have been a blast to paint!
I've been trying to decide how much of the "worn" patches are scraping away and how much are plaster colors blocked over the pictures.

Making crumbled plasterwork walls is fun.
Especially the part where you carve up the Styrofoam with a chainsaw.

This website agreed with you about Legend and how amazing Judas was!

I finally was able to see it (its free on the nbc app).

So good! Really wow.

I did not love alice Cooper as Herod. I like my Herod a bit more, light? maybe. I actually liked John legans as Jesus, but I would have preferred more scruff. Judas was like, woah, hold on, are you real? Superb.

I was in a production of JCS in highschool so I know some of my likes/dislikes stem from that. Not that we were anything close to that amazing, merely some of the directorial decisions made with that show influence what I like more/less

This show also highlights what I’ve always thought which is that Judas gets a bad rap. I’ve always felt he was treated unfairly.

But it was amazing and now I’m walking around singing. And I’m ready to watch it again. Maybe I can convince the kids to watch with me 😁

I saw the original movie when it came out, Ted Neely and Yvonne Elliman were supberb . Saw it onstage live a few years later, which was great. Have the VHS tape which I plug in occasionally and watch. I missed this version but will be sure to see it ON Demand.

I loved this musical! I just downloaded the Ted Neely movie version now, thanks to this thread.

When our first baby was born we’d just seen a live production of it. I sat in the back of the car next to Baby DS, he was crying a bit, and I couldn’t for the life of me bring a single lullaby to mind. I ended up singing Everything’s Alright.
First time we took Maria to Thailand, we arrived at night. She was a toddler - two and a half years old. She was terrified because she knew it was night there when it was daytime at home but we left NJ in the dark and arrived in Bangkok in the dark. I rocked and held her and sang "Everything's All Right" to her until daybreak.

I have watched part of it with the kids. Blueberry likes it, and moose is entranced. But blueberry asks a lot of questions, also she calls it the "show all about God" 😂

Who is that?
Jesus
Who is that?
Judus
Why did he color on himself?
Those are tattoos, they use a needle to inject ink under your skin
....
Why is God sitting in those steps? Why did he get up?
Who are those people?
The Pharisees
Are they bad guys
Bad guys, mostly. Sort of
Why do they hate God
Well you see Jerusalem was invaded by the romans, and they are Jews, and they think Jesus is going to get them killed (also, side note, not prepared to explain the early geopolitical conflicts of the Jews)
I don't think they are bad guys, I think they are just wearing coats.

😂😂
