Jesus Christ Superstar

I have been putting off seeing Rock Musicals/Operas because the music is just meh for me. I'm not huge into rock to begin with, so making a show ONLY music for 2 1/2 hours is rough for me. I've never liked the music of JCS, but lo and behold, I now like it due to this cast. Were they perfect? Definitely not. The cast didn't look happy to be working. They were only nominated for 2 tonys, one being best revival and the other for their Judas. Both Judas and Jesus were great. Mary was nice, but her voice I found to be very held back. Maybe she was holding off for a different night?

 We sat in row M of the orchestra off stage right, but didn't miss anything. The concept of the show was great, using lots of lights like the Dow. It felt very much like a rock concert. And a very powerful moment of the show was when Jesus got whipped repeatedly, counted 40 times by Pontius Pilot.

Previous to this show, we have seen Chinglish and La Cage Aux Folles here.
