    A different interpretation of the "Jesus Christ Superstar" musical. It's cool to see different performers doing the roles in an indoor setting; their voices give different emphasis. It's a nice change. Glenn Carter plays a long-haired blonde hip Jesus. Jerome Pradon was like a U2... read more bandmember as Judas. I really liked the boardroom setting with the Romans, the S&M Pilate, the police officer soldiers, and the vaudevillian showman King Herod. It's very different indeed; I didn't mind it.

    Good music if that's what you're looking for.
    Not such a great re-telling of the Jesus story however.

    I enjoy listening to Jesus Christ superstar far more than I like watching it. the original soundtrack by The Who cannot be outdone. I think the movie and original musical would be better suited to be done in a more traditional style rather than the existing anti-government hipp... read moreie style it was intended to be performed in. I didn't care for teh original movie and only bought this one to see Rik Mayal as Pilot.

    One of my guilty pleasures and even if Judas doesn't hit the notes so great, I still love him. True story.
