    Personally, I can't imagine a world without Alice Cooper in it. The man can do no wrong! I've followed his career for as long as I can remember. So when I found out he was going to play King Herod in my favourite musical, I couldn't wait to see it. As usual, he didn't disappoint. But I have to admit, when he said "WOW", I fell in love with him all over again! I honestly believe there's nothing this talented man can't do. Long live Alice!!

    I should have known that. Just recently saw him live for the first time ever with the Hollywood Vampires and he was amazing.

The costumer did a fantastic job with the outfit, I LOVE how his facial expressions change from curious, to demanding to fury to go in line with the lyrics. I've watched other versions of King Herrod's song, and by far, this one by Alice Cooper is the best. He really embraces the character and makes it something special.

    I don't recall the name of the actor who did Herod in the L.A. production back in 1972, which I saw, but he was fantastic. Cooper does a magnificent characterization here, I only wish that he had been choreographed, maybe a bit of dancing interplay with the ladies. It was just too static, and I found that to be true of this whole production. Some of the singing was great, but the stage direction was so stiff. I saw Ted Neely in his prime, more than once. Those productions were energetic, emotional and a joy to watch. This one, had you just listened and not watched the screen would have come across no differently. Could have been so much more.

    Alice Cooper had probably been wanting SO badly to do that song onstage since the early 70s when it came out. That was perfect.

    Wow! Alice Cooper is one of the best Herods I´ve ever heard. Or maybe THE best.

    That was awesome! I got to meet Barry Dennen, who played Pilate in the movie but was playing Herod on a touring show. My friends and I actually went back the night after we saw the show because somehow we missed he was in it. He was so gracious and thrilled that not only did we come back just to meet him, but we knew his other works like The Shining and The Dark Crystal. I had brought my copy of Kentucky Friend Movie for him to autograph. It had just come out on DVD a few weeks before.

      Herod ruled Galilee, not Jerusalem. Pilate wanted Herod to deal with Jesus because Nazareth is in Galilee.

    The fascinating thing about this performance is that he decided to play it straight. Genius. His whole professional life, he's been so over the top, that it's far more effective for him to just come in and play it like the cranky Godfather of rock n roll.

      I'd love to see a version with elements of rik and Alice. Alice sung it so well and easily! Especially the angry part at the end!! but rik was all about the mocking and impatience with his scary facial expressions. I guess it's a song that doesn't necessarily have to be flattering or sung perfectly to be good
