Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert was performed On April 1st Easter Sunday. A coincidence? Most likely not. I sat in my grandparents living room, and then eventually quickly drove home during a commercial break (so I wouldn't miss anything) and was dancing throughout the whole performance.
I have witnesses and towards the end, thank god no one was watching with me because I was an emotional wreck. If you watched it along with me last night, some of these emotions I'm talking about throughout this article you will also understand. If not, you better hop on this musical theatre train and enjoy some magic.
1. When you realize the guitar shredder is only 14 years old
Brandon Niederauer is only 14 years old and was recently in School of Rock.
2. Remembering Andrew Lloyd Webber was only 22 when he wrote this musical
LIKE WHAT?
3. Brandon Victor Dixon
Must I say more?
4. Alice Cooper is in a musical
I still have mixed feelings about this. Even after sleeping on it.
5. Real fire during live theatre
This is a rare sight and NBC did it.
6. Suddenly everyone looked like disco balls
I knew I should expect this... but gosh they came out of nowhere.
7. I know Jesus dies but I'm still a mess
All in all. Jesus Christ Superstar made me dance, cry and cry some more. Most likely going to watch it every day on Demand until it's not on Demand anymore and I can buy it in the store.
