John Doyle Globe and Mail 04/10/2020
A madcap, crazily inventive production of the musical, it's a marvellous, dizzying two hours. Go to Full Review
Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture 09/19/2018
This Superstar was the closest that live television has come to creating a hybrid new form, combining elements of epic cinema, the stage musical, and the concert film. It's a minor miracle. Go to Full Review
Matthew J. Palm Orlando Sentinel 09/19/2018
Buoyed by that striking production with its industrial, modern urban vibe and a star-making performance by Brandon Victor Dixon as Judas, "Jesus Christ Superstar" provided plenty of thrills for musical-theater fans. Go to Full Review

Benjamin C May 2 Definitely an interesting staging, however personally I prefer other adaptations, especially because of the casting but also because I like the way the 2012 arena adaptation took on a more contemporary approach See more Tom M 03/30/2024 Gives a new touch to the classic. Was well produced. John legend is great. See more Kathryn P 03/30/2024 Easily the best production of this. See more Ed 10/22/2023 I'm not quite sure why I watched this, I'm not even that religious. I was hoping to learn a bit more about Judas because I feel like the motivation for his betrayal would be very interesting. Unfortunately, it seemed more geared towards people who already know the story, which made me a little confused at times. I do have to say though, the music is pretty good and I appreciate the diverse cast. See more 04/04/2021 John Legend can't act and doesn't have the voice for jesus and Alice Cooper is horrible. Other than that every one else is great but it's not enough to save the production when jesus is bad. See more 04/13/2020 Fantastic casting. The costumes were impeccable as well as the set design. Really great. See more Read all reviews
