    Horrible mockery of both jesus christ superstar's previous renditions and of the story around jesus in general. the outfits looked like start trek crap and the audio was horrible and the talent was low and the cast looked like a buch of losers from a hot topic store.

    It was an overwhelming original, complete with inspired casting and staging choices.

    Despite the quibbles, which included some spotty sound mixing, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert was a pleasure throughout. The show both respected the original score while adding a present-day spin and a sense of controlled chaos that kept it all fresh.

    The show was a collision of religion and theater and pop culture that could have been one holy mess. But by the grace of God, or maybe a great cast and lots and lots of expert staging, a great musical became a great TV production.
