In the past couple of years, there have been a flurry of Broadway hits flurrying to the stage; Cats, Hairspray, and Crazy For You to name a few. And now, Jesus Christ Superstar is entering the scene.
I never liked this particular musical. In fact, I've loathed it ever since I first got a glimpse of the movie. Plus, the creepier, and often crazier of the Jesus sect has been slipping in, under the radar. Mormons (who, technically, I can't even call Christians by any sense of it), and Jehovahs are flooding the streets as much as they can. Images that adorn homeless shelters and feeding places give that old-timey feeling of accept Jesus into your heart or burn. So, in the back of my head, the introduction of this musical seems a bit seedy to me.
However, the visuals of the Japonesque version look pretty cool. Everyone's done up in Kabuki-style makeup. Pretty bad ass.
And besides, I've always said that if Jesus was born in Asia, he'd have been a Buddhist.
