Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)
It’s musicals month for November’s theme and hitting up Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber again because it’s time to go to church though we can’t tell what denomination this is. It’s pretty sweaty but there are some baddies hanging around. A little gay, to be expected, but the band is pretty sick. They’re all the band. This is what Nazarenes wish their services were like. It’s two thousand years ago by way of the 1970s in this rock opera retelling of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We’re jamming to Norman Jewison’s 1973 film adaptation of “JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR” and it stars Ted Neeley (who crushes it) Carl Anderson (who steals the show) and Yvonne Elliman (who can get it). Then you got your Pauls, your Pharisees, your Herods and your Pilates and the timeless tale has never been told like this. We didn’t know this at the time but Yvonne Elliman had some disco hits as well. She also hooked up with Eric Clapton but nobody’s perfect. But anyway…Jesus. He’s just a man, right? Why does he scare them so?
