Jesus Christ Superstar 50th Anniversary Tour | North America

[@philiplohrfink3348]

Had the lovely experience of seeing this at the Hippodrome last night, and it was the best production I have ever even listened to of the show. Every single actor was phenomenal, and both Aaron (Jesus) and James (Judas) took the whole performance to a completely different level. The choreography itself was extremely moving and super effective in the message of the show. Wish they were making a cast recording, and this exceeded a broadway production.

[@elliot6166]

This was my first ever Jesus. 10/10, would turn 14 again. I’m just hoping I can drive down to Atlanta for my first road trip and see it again 😩

[@TubOfGrey2894]

Why? what has compelled you to see this?

[@barbarathompson2531]

Going to see the show on Monday night March 21th at The King Center in Melbourne Florida. Can't wait. Will report back.

We saw this at Golden Gate Theater October 16th, 2021. It brought me to tears. We sat in the Mezzanine and I felt that we didn't lose sight of any of the stage, props, actors, or musicians; beautifully designed set. The choreography was simple yet *powerful* and insanely effective. (It made me dream of dancing again and trying my dream of being in a musical someday.) The show was truly inspiring. It was all I could to to not run up to the stage and join in. (I did bring home some "Jesus Glitter" No spoilers there) I have never heard such seamless harmonies on stage before, but then again this was only the second Broadway show I've ever seen. It has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl to see JCS, live on stage. The day was a gift from my husband for my 52nd birthday and our 11th wedding anniversary, combined. It was a perfect day. He also bought me a shirt and that gorgeous sweatshirt. Thank you. I wish I could go again; I want more! 🙏

[@susieq4952]

Aw happy belated birthday and anniversary!! I'll be watching it in SF this week too and looking forward to catching that glitter haha jk. Thanks for a great review!

[@MamaPinks]

@@susieq4952 I got to go again! Ended up having a wonderful Mother Daughter Day! We sat in the Orchestra seats this time and it was like seeing a whole new show! Of course I brought home more Glitter from the stage. Just a spectacular show, I danced in my seat the whole time, and I was in tears at the end, again! I hope you enjoyed it! 🥰

[@susieq4952]

@@MamaPinks Aww how fun! Mommy daughter days are the best !! ^_^ I'm so thrilled you got to go watch it again and this time in ORCHESTRA yay!!! I got to watch it Wednesday night at the GG theater and it was like watching a rock concert. I loved it and was keeping a lookout for the glitter lol. 😆 I couldn't hear a lot of the words (it sounded kind of muffled to me for some reason) , but I loved the show and danced along too!

[@MamaPinks]

@@susieq4952 That's where we saw it, GGT! Don't you love the remodel? That building is so amazing! Must be there was something wrong with the sound system? We heard it clearly. Did you go down to the stage afterwards and grab some of that "Jesus Glitter" off the floor? I've been saying at work all week, "let the Glitter of Jesus Christ rain down on me 😂 aaamen!" (I am not a church person at all. I'm more of a spiritual person so it was funny, you'd have to be there, LOL 😆) Take care Bay Area Neighbor!😘

[@susieq4952]

@@MamaPinks Aww thanks and hello bay area neighbor!! 🙋‍♀️🤭 Ah I think I went to the stage too late, all of the Jesus glitter had already been swept up lol darn. Oh yes the remodel is lovely. Can't wait for a Christmas Carol next! 🎄📜🎩 Have a happy Thanksgiving!

[@crhp13tblock52]

Just experienced the 50th Anniversary production last night at Bass Hall in Fort Worth and I was totally blown away. No words can describe the excellence of every single aspect of this performance. I seldom use superlatives, but this was THE best stage show I have ever seen!!

[@gcgtheatricals8655]

This was the best a Jesus and Judas combo I’ve ever seen. Last time I saw the show the Judas riffed until the melody for Heaven on their Minds wasn’t even recognizable

[@nina.harr1ngt0n]

I haven't seen this production but can you explain the silver hands?

[@k.m.186]

Nina Harrington I loved that bit! When Judas accepted the ‘blood money’ he literally put his hands in the thing of it, and it made his hands silver, really it was the blood on his hands via the transaction, & it stayed until he came back in the end

Saw the show last night! It was great! Herod stole the show for me, hoping there’s some place I can find the soundtrack for this version.

[@DylansTheatreCorner]

I have a question about the show, did they sexualize any part of the show? Like in “The temple” or anything like that?

[@TimeandSpaceOF]

@@DylansTheatreCorner it’s been a while since I saw the show but not really. Maybe some implied romance between Mary Magdalene and Jesus, and Herod’s palace is a little “suggestive” but nothing overly overt. Obviously there are prostitutes in the temple but they are fully clothed.

[@amyteutenberg3721]

@@DylansTheatreCorner was pretty tame. There were shirtless men with glitter on them in the temple if you call that sexual. Herod was fully clothed during his dance

for what it's worth (sorry I only just recently saw this production) I was very skeptical of Man Bun Jesus, especially when he broke out the guitar, but dude won me over and sealed the deal with Gethsemane, I can't explain it really.

Someone missed the point. He was a fast-rising celebrity done in by his own celebrity. He drew the attention of the wrong people and then even his followers turned against him when the heat came down. The parallels to modern celebrity culture are clear.

It works in context. It was overall the best version, especially vocally, I've ever seen of the show.

[@annespillers4897]

I've been watching the movie, listened to all soundtracks, and seen it every chance I got. This is far and away the best production I've ever seen. Everything works in context. The vocals are very strong and convey strong emotion. Not sure why they did the mic but it worked. Every take on this shows me something new and this one was amazing. If I can get tickets I may go back.
