The Subject matter made this to me. It, along with the other classic Rock Opera Godspell, saved Jesus from the holier than thou portrayals of the early 20th century and set the stage for more humanized down-to-earth portrayals of Jesus like the 1977 Robert Powell starring miniseries and Mel Gibson's own 2004 Hebrew-Language masterpiece. Without Jesus Christ Superstar, we might not have seen other groundbreaking down-to-earth portrayals of Jesus. Lloyd Webber's musical is amazing.
A lot of people hate on Andrew Lloyd Webber he's written the music to one of the best rock operas of all time and he's never stopped working since! He's done something right
I really think it's impossible to hate him on this, some of his music on here is hard and is as good as anything John Lennon was pumping out around this time
Did not see this play,but love seeing and hearing you describe it. Very handsome and charming here. Your passion about your work is always so refreshing.💖June 14 2021
I bought the DVD and it's worth every penny! This show is the best Superstar...better than John Legend's Superstar in 2018. I bought that DVD as well but it pales in comparison to the Arena Tour. I have become a big fan of Ben Forster, Tim Minchin, Melanie C, and Chris Moyles. These wonderful performers brighten my world. Since the pandemic here in the U.S., I have been home bound for a year. Trying to stay healthy in Texas is challenging due to the ignorance of so many foolish MAGA Heads. Add the crazy winter storm that knocked out power and cut our water supply to the mix and I am needing to escape reality to maintain my sanity. Power is back so I will be back in front of my television singing, sighing and crying with Superstar. Thank you Andrew Lloyd Webber for this fantastic show💞
Jesus Christ Superstar remains Andrew Lloyd Webber's greatest moment, I put it up there with any Beatles albums, anything Elton John did, it's very McCartney-esque, to the point where you wonder if the two of them were trading notes, but yeah, you put it up there with dark side of the moon, you put it up there with the greatest albums of the 70's
I’d love to see a revival of the ‘vulgar, horrible’ original Broadway production. Leagues ahead of this crass arena tour and the commercialism of that, and multiple other versions. Of its time, perhaps, but it had a strong focus and artistic direction from a visionary, far beyond the milquetoast versions so often lauded as applause bait for the mega-mix generation.
Greatest musical genius of the time
regardless of the subject matter, his music is epic, they are melodies we will never forget

It really is! yes John Legend wasn't right for the role in my opinion. And Tim Forster, Mel C and Tim Michin are all fantastic.
@@kdeggraham895 I just been confirmed that they actually filmed it live in September 2012 at the O2 Arena in London by Universal Pictures
@@dtc2024 Oh that’s cool! So sorry, I don’t know what I was talking about clearly. “Tim Forster” I mean BEN Forster. 😂
I love Jesus Christ superstar

Genius
If Jesus sang like Ian Gillan, we would be the most devout Christians
If the masses like it, that's a good sign it's unacceptable.
interviewer sounds a right laugh
Do you have a date for the DVD release?
+GodsJesusHolyBilly4 It was out ages ago. I have it on blu ray
please post the original cast staring patrick jude
He states that Ben is the best Jesus so far.....he has forgotten that he stated once that Steve Balsamo was the best Jesus ever, which is so true...
Ted Neeley is the best . Looks and voice.
Maybe the main fault of this interview is that it is too short.
Its great butt Jesus dying is so sad i cant see it through wet eyes

This musical can be seen and understood as blasphemy, a musical that has no substance, or it's an opera for the masses.
It’s definitely blasphemous, but the music absolutely has substance
Cant stand him
Get a life
10:59 I love when they were talking about Melanie C. She definitely has an amazing voice and also character to it.
