Brandon Victor Dixon singing “Jesus Christ Superstar” Live in Concert

[@gpeddino]

Brandon’s performance was stunning. The absolute highlight in the show.

[@TheNerdStorm]

This performance by Brandon Victor Dixon made me a believer.

[@RaymondNYC1]

Best TV musical production I've ever seen. I would've given anything to have been in the audience.

[@silliaek]

They did everything right with this production, start to finish. It must have been thrilling to see in person.

[@starkman78]

Completely agree that it must have been thrilling to be there. Not in a single shot did I catch ANYONE on that stage not giving 150%. So many people taking such pride in their craft. They were on fire!

[@mattmoehring8021]

Except hiring John Legend

[@TheHManShow]

Everything except for casting John legend

[@taylorh6855]

John legend was the wrong person, but Brandon victor Dixon made up for it

[@MelisendePF]

Having grown up on the 1973 movie, I think it's almost impossible to top Carl Anderson, but Brandon Victor Dixon did a fabulous job. Can't say the same for John Legend whose voice and acting wasn't even close to be good enough for that iconic role. Of all the great singers, I have to wonder why he was picked?

[@dalealston111]

THIS NUMBER should've sealed an Emmy win for BVD. (He was robbed)!

[@dogeneedsthetea4569]

It was a HUGE shame he didn't secure the win! Every time I come back to this performance I always get chills.

[@shay2218]

@@dogeneedsthetea4569 same. Same. He is absolutely amazing. He was the real star if you ask me. He didn’t even get top billing on the dvd cover. Disappointing. I know Alice Cooper is Alice Cooper but he was in it for like 5 mins.

[@mikedunnigan1706]

These are the coolest backup singers EVER!

[@AbandonedMines11]

Thanks for posting this footage! It’s so cool to be able to see it from this other perspective rather than what was shown on the live TV broadcast.

[@dawnwelch6579]

Right! So cool to see what everyone else is doing!!

[@classicchristine6693]

He freaking nailed it!

[@dalemartell8639]

He killed it!!!

[@jondunmore4268]

And he killed Jesus as well - that sop John Legend... couldn't hold a candle to this rock tenor. Legend has a gospel voice - he shouldn't have tried to do this rock show. He failed miserably. And then he won that award - because he's the executive producer, and the show producers, in conjunction with his record company, obviously had a marketing strategy to make Legend look like he was a winner. What a fucken gyp! THAT alone should prove there's no god.

[@HapeeMoonlight]

BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE WHOLE SHOW, I LOVE IT

[@PaulSmith-kw6we]

Great to be able to see the chorus choreography much better than what is shown on the TV version. Thanks!

[@courtneysmith6082]

This show was practically perfect in every way! I thought everyone was brilliant. Legend’s Gethsemane performance was stellar. Sarah was magic. Brandon was pure soul. Alice was, well, Alice. The show far-surpasses any other live televised production then and now. I can’t believe it didn’t get more accolades.

[@gwynenglishnielsen8596]

I was glad to see a televised version in 2018. It seems eons ago that we had this kind of freedom: to view live theater sans restrictions.

[@pablopaul6371]

Wow - on the ground but kept singing. I,love it.

[@robinbourassa1390]

Brandon killed it in this performance and the whole show! Could not believe John Legend won the Emmy for his less than stellar performance! Brandon had the voice and the acting not John! Coward move by them!

[@robinbourassa1390]

Totally agree John was good Brandon was great!

[@JD-ht7yw]

John Legend did do well

[@klausweasley]

John Legend didn't win for performing. He won for producing.

[@beaglemusic]

Brandon was the best thing about that show!

[@margaretfarmer8184]

Why can't they both be award winning? It's not a contest. I thought they all were award winning. Great performance!

[@macrent2]

It really is a spectacular performance, no mater ones belief.

[@jamesvincent1006]

BVD--That man is a STAR!

[@221BSam]

I’ve just watched this for the first time on Sky Arts - just aired for the first time in England, WOW! you were there, must’ve been incredible! I got chills just watching it on TV 😮

[@williamfairchild7439]

I watched it on Sky Arts in the UK as well and it was incredible

[@BebeLush2]

How lucky you were to be able to see this live. I just watched it last night for the first time it was unbelievable!

[@ManofthePeople12]

You’re so lucky you got to be there!

[@marinao4412]

this judas flexes harder than almost any other god DAMN

[@Mukundanghri]

love him

[@Guest-lo8hv]

So funny...

[@theSpiritofTamzin]

Omg, this is great!!!. Thank you!! Simon Zealotes please!!!...

[@susanmeeks84]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!

[@richardburchett]

That move at 1:27 was great!

[@SJRD18]

That man is beyond gorgeous. Those thighs. That voice. Omg!

[@marenasusinno4524]

This was so good. This guy killed it! Great cast. John, Sarah, etc.... The whole cast was great. Alice Cooper delivered!!!!

[@TheHManShow]

Brandon is tied with Carl Anderson as my favorite Judas

[@shay2218]

Definitely. 💜✨🙌🏼

[@chrispearson2443]

Amazing performance, shame his name isn’t on the Album cover.

[@jeromemiron8680]

Those three background singers tho… Wow… 💜

[@dawnwelch6579]

BVD was freakin’ AWESOME in this! That scene before he offed himself, when he realized what he did…man, that tore me up!

[@tondahinton4480]

I KNEW he looked familiar, just couldn't put my finger on it! He played Terry Silver on Power!

[@laurarobson9966]

All I want from any filmed musical is a wide shot so I can actually see the dancers. I would have rather watch the entire production from this angle. Honestly, who frames a shot to cut off dancers' feet?!? So that k you for posting this! I would have loved to see the behind the scenes production aspects of this. Fantastic!

[@CandyGirlllll]

I’m so mad they took the a-cappella guitar version video off KZbin where they were singing this during rehearsal… Absolutely amazing! They have some of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard. I love this song…

[@MrPantss]

Awesome voice, amazing production….

[@sameaston9587]

Man, Brandon should've played Jesus, but I understand Legend brings in the views.

[@austinbennett7407]

Oh but Judas is so the better character! And BVD kills it so hard!

[@robinbourassa1390]

He deserved the Emmy over John

[@thonypetstv3966]

Lol jesus and judas has a different character... Jesus character is calm and judas all out emotion

[@isabelpenn4887]

So many of these performances fell flat for me, but i think Brandon Victor Dixon really killed this part. He's definitely a baritenor and not the kind of tenor this part requires but he really made up for it with strong choices and wonderful acting. Also this ensemble cast is fantastic!!! They definitely helped improve some of the weaker numbers and brought even more to the good ones

[@EricNeuls]

You do not need to be a tenor to sing this song, its all about that 70s rock voice. You got that grit and a a solid belt and you're set, just like BVD; unlike Jesus which really requires a solid rock tenor to do it justice, not a baritone like Legend, though he did what he could.

[@crimsonmaverick8237]

EXCUSE ME THATS ONE HELL OF A BARITENOR. He hit every single note.

[@QueenDramaLlama]

This is awesome! I would've loved to be there live! Although, seeing it from this view really highlights the people who were hired more for singing versus dancing. If you look closely, the stronger dancers tend to be downstage and/or on the outer perimeter of the group whilst the weaker ones stay upstage and center. (Mostly behind BVD) until he moves upstage and more chorus performers fill in the center. Very cool to see and be able to appreciate the staging as a whole.

[@fannishmarcia]

Aw. it cut off just before Brandons HUGE finish. But thank you for posting the incredible view you had!

[@masarusenpai1952]

Carl Anderson would've been so proud

[@leg7497]

closest I've seen to Mr anderson's

[@AsiaMs]

Who choreographed this? This number was 🔥!

[@jmcdhfn]

I feel as though I've just been to church and had my sins washed away.

[@gerryan7831]

BRANDON DESERVED AN EMY TOO 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Mukundanghri]

My heart be calm.

[@burgermister7580]

Excellent

[@robinbourassa1390]

Brandon deserved the Emmy not John Legend - sorry not sorry

[@gabrielabravo3731]

Legend didn't win! Darren won that year 💕 But Brandon deserved the nomination

[@calamari.jaksun8914]

I wish you recorded The Crucifixion

[@samfilmkid]

Some may disagree with me but...BVD is the best Judas ever.

[@gugoop6918]

Awsome

[@eduardom.8766]

As close to Carl Anderson as a person could possibly be. Amazing.

[@RevJohnDixonII]

I agree. Excellent job

[@sharonbest2618]

Who are his back up singers?

[@Peyo1310]

Espectacular!

[@danielperezmoreno2690]

Si lo veo en directo creo que allí mismo me muero de extasis.

[@rosaristizabal]

Do you have more videos?? Please apload them, i really want to see more clips of the show

[@johncox8395]

What happened to the nbc videos? I can’t find them anywhere

[@Lvegas96]

yeah i cant either

[@SabrinaSterlingGA]

I bet they took them down for an Easter rebroadcast. My had the links shared with friends and none of them work.

[@silverhawking]

@@SabrinaSterlingGA Yeah, although I don't know why they didn't put them back up afterwards.

[@SabrinaSterlingGA]

@@silverhawking I have a theory that with the upcoming KZbin music and premium subscriptions, maybe it has been moved. We have noticed a lot od music videos have disappeared as well.

[@llep3070]

Seriously. Jesus Christ.

[@zackhanson4788]

CARL? Is that you?

[@evasabater]

The best Judas forever

[@jmcdhfn]

okay, did anyone else think the lyric was "did you know your messy death would be a record breaker"?

[@Pannkakaize]

Nice judas

[@amyclarke41]

ook

[@marioormando8065]

Like to see the complete show. Not just a terrible making of. Where can I buy it? Amazon? iTunes?

[@taylorh6855]

Mario Ormado Amazon prime

[@tommartin2060]

And they gave all the plaudits and glory to the guy who didn’t even attempt the high note in gethsemane… good grief 😒

[@Ciclopea2]

Show stealer

[@RaymondNYC1]

Best TV musical production I've ever seen. I would've given anything to have been in the audience.
