JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
I was so disappointed with the show. The music was so loud it drowned out the lyrics. The set was dark and boxy. The inappropriate dancers distracted from the story and the songs. All the characters looked alike - gray. The voices were too similar so it was hard to distinguish what character was singing. Jesus was bland. Mary Magdelaine was the only vocalist that could be heard and understood. And what is that about Jesus picking up a guitar? The whole show was so different from the original that the beauty of the story and the lyrics and music was totally lost. What a disappointing way to begin the Broadway Series! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS VERSION. Poor Andrew Lloyd Weber!

POOR VERSION OF A CLASSIC
