Region encoding warning
Please note, the region encoding for this is B/2. That means it is viewable in the European region, NOT the US! It's a great show, but a little difficult if you can't watch it. They should include this warning when they post it for sale.
Fantastic presentation, R2 version plays on computer
The HD region 2 version is now available over the internet much less expensive than the upcoming Blue Ray region 1. It will play on your computer or laptop, or just HDMI cable it to your big screen TV. This is a mind blowing exciting version produced by Weber himself the way he thought it should be done. The performers and choreography are first class. This sell out show was performed in 12,000 seat arenas at $121 a ticket. This is, in my opinion, the best presentation of this event ever.
New look, New Actors, same awesome music for a new generation to enjoy!
I was really excited about this version of the musical! I had never seen previous versions until last Summer, when I had the opportunity to go to London. Since I love the Spice Girls (Sporty Spice Melanie C is in this version as Mary) I went to a live taping of the Jesus Christ Superstar reality show that she and Andrew Lloyd Webber were judges for. All I can say is: WOW!
The performances to find the new Jesus were spectacular! I've been to reality talent show tapings in the US, but this one ran like clockwork, which amazing sets moving in and out. During the commercial breaks the audience got to ask the judges questions, and Andrew's comments were really fascinating. He said how JCS was a huge hit in American back in the 70s, but flopped in the UK! In the 70s it was playing arenas and hitting the top 40 with their music, but the UK never got to experience it in an arena as it was intended to be.
This production does have a new age look to it, but you get...
