I never seen the show but back in 1969-1970, it was playing at the Agora in Columbus Ohio for quite a while. I knew a guy named Ian that lived around the corner from the Agora (on 13th). This guy did the lights for shows at the Agora. He looked almost exactly like John Lenon back then, glasses and all. I was new to smoking pot and hadn't really felt it yet. We were in his living room sparking up when a few of the people from the show dropped by. The first time I really got high, Jesus (from Jesus Christ Super Star) was there with me. How many people can say they've smoked a joint with Jesus? I did.

Herod's song is my favortie from that show. It's a shame all the youtube videos seem to be ppor peformances. The best just does the music.

One more starry eyed messiah....
Meets a violent farewell

HUGE fan of the double LP release. Saw a live version in Montreal in 71 or 72... The movie sucks.

I saw the original Jesus Christ Superstar rock opera at the San Francisco Opera theater in the early 70s. I judge everything by that. It was awesome.

Alice Cooper is a Christian. I believe it's because he is an alcoholic in recovery. His father was a clergy and depending on what program he used to achieve and maintain soberity a lot of those are "faith" or spirituality based. His faith keeps him sober which means he's still around so I can't fault him for that. He's not obnoxious about it which is probably why it doesn't matter to me with him.

One of Andrew Lloyd Webber's best scores, I feel. The music alone is worth a viewing.

Brilliant!

Had a very popular run on Broadway in the 1970s. Multiple revivals. Andrew Lloyd Webber did the music, the production concentrates on the last week of his life. Not a lot of religious overtones in it, actually. Nobody rises, he dies. Was condemned by multiple religious groups in its initial run.

Yeah, I'm gonna pass.
I'd rather watch MAS*H reruns.

The only music from Andrew Lloyd Weber that I like. If I had a TV I'd watch it. I appreciate the "passion" as a good story well told.

It boggles the imagination.

I hated this even when I was Catholic.

sounds good, I never saw the whole movie, but enjoyed Ric Mayall as Herod.

I gotta watch it just to see Alice Cooper in it!

I saw Godspell live back in college... I have nothing against the subject for entertainment purposes. Some of my favorite movies growing up had religious themes.

I plan on watching it for the music soundtrack. Alice Cooper as Judas! Looking forward to it. An old bf of mine at 21 was a dancer and singer in the movie.

I may watch. I don't know.

The story is a good one even if I don't believe it true.

I watch lots of fiction.

Go Alice! No more mister nice guy! Roflol!

Who is playing Judas?

Whoopie! John Legend is cool, but WTF John?
