Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert featuring Alice Cooper as King Herod. Sunday April 1st, NBC, 8:00 PM West Coast Time (check local listings).
Did not see the whole thing, but was impressed with what I saw,
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
I thought it was an enjoyable and extremely well done musical. Alice Cooper's part as King Herod was really a 5 minute cameo but a very exciting one late in the show. John Legend as Jesus and Brandon Victor Dixon as Judas were excellent. Vocally I thought Sara Bareilles as Mary of Magdalene may have stolen the show at times.
Here's a Variety review.
Darn, I forgot to tape it!
Big JC Superstar fan here - dont have cable, could someone vine dvds if they taped? or B&P ? Sounds like it was a classy production, would very like to check it out.
