On Easter Sunday evening, we enjoyed catching the live broadcast of "Jesus Christ Superstar" with John Legend, Sara Bareilles, Brandon Victor Dixon, Norm Lewis, and Alice Cooper, among others.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6874964/ I loved the combined 1980s/2010s vibe, and the cast was very diverse, which in turn softened the anti-Jewish aspects of the Passion story.
Facebook friends were discussing the broadcast I recalled purchasing the original concept album, which I got when I was 14 or 15, and played some of the songs on the piano. We friends agreed that the music was really important to us, perhaps more than we'd realized. Wonderful to hear this music again after a lot of years.
