Customer Reviews

Wow, what a mess.
This is really very bad. Jesus Christ Superstar is one Andrew Lloyd Webber's best scores, and this recording really ruins it. The orchestrations remind me of some really bad '80s music. I do not recommend this to anyone, those new to JCS will not understand how amazing this score really is, and old fans will just be confused as to why something so great was ruined.

Terrible...what were they thinking....?
terrible...what the heck did they do to this soundtrack...the dance routine stuff is awful. I just don't understand how they could take such a great piece of music and ruin it...but well...they did. I don't want visions of the "fly girls" dancing when I listen to Simon's song.

Awful and nothing is better than the original London version and the 1973 movie version.......

When you want your JC Superstar to kick butt, get this version!
Easily the most alive and exciting Jesus Christ Superstar ever. The music and vocals are absolutely astounding and both were updated in a completely fresh and non-offensive manner. My only regret is that there is not a complete version of this cast anywhere. We used this version as a temlpate for a production my Alma Matter put on 4 years ago. Order this disc if you are a fan of musicals, Jesus, or rock music in general.
