Jesus Christ Superstar [Posted on 2008-07-02]
Have admired Andrew Lloyd Webber's music for years and purchased the CD of Superstar when it first came out. Having seen the movie in the 1970's plus the stage performance twice over the years, I wanted to add it to my DVD library. The music never became dated and the movie's keen direction is indicitive of the genius of Norman Jewison. The story is beautifully told in a manner that does not offend those of faith and should be rated as one of the world's rock/musical classics.
Best story ever! [Posted on 2008-07-05]
This was the BEST depiction of the Jesus story I have ever seen. The music is phenominal, the cast of characters are perfect for their parts -anointed even. The lyrics cut to the bone.
My children, 4, 5, and 8 all LOVE it as much as my husband and I do. You will not be sorry! It's fascinating.
Excellant [Posted on 2008-07-12]
I don't agree with the Editorial Review's of Ted Neely's performance as "wimpy". I would say "humanistic" is the better choice.
The scene of Judas's betrayal is both poignant and wrenching as two men are torn between loss of friendship and their belief of what is right.
Yvonne Elliman's portrayal of Mary Magdalene is also very moving as she struggles with understanding and loving Jesus the man in a world of upheavel and contention that surround them.
Superstar review [Posted on 2008-07-26]
I have been a fan of this musical and movie for a very long time. I was very pleased to find it at a very good price. In spite of what some people say,Ted Neely did a fine job of portraying Jesus. Carl Anderson as Judas and Yvonne Elliman as Mary were wonderful in their supporting roles.Yvonne's vocal had the feeling of wonder and pain in her uncertainty. Overall a very good experience.
What's the buzz..... [Posted on 2008-08-28]
What's the buzz? Tell me whats a happening. A 1970's totally classic and dramatic with catchy toons. A different way of looking at the story of Christ for anyone. It's a must for all musical lovers.
