Very well executed

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

The first must-see film of the year.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is brilliant and the music, staging, acting, choreography, and singing all do justice to ALW and TR's original and, IMHO, it's better than the Golden Globes winning movie.

Maybe I am too much of a Neely fan but the singing did not have the passion that the movie portrayed. I love the 73 movie the best. I also had the original Broadway version and although this version had more passion then that, it was so lacking. Jesus and Judas both seemed not to have the strength nor range to pull off their rolls. Where was the rage, the sadness, and the agony? I've also watched the 2012 tour version and Jesus and Judas both showed more passion and feeling but the play lacked the visuals that this one possessed. Another thing I noticed that the lyrics in several if not all the songs was different in all the plays from the movie. And what passion this play had in the songs was not at the same part in the song as was in the movie. The audience and many very long commercials was a hugh distraction. I'm so glad that I DVR'd this so I didn't actually had to watch them. I'm glad that I got to watch this but my favorite will alway be the 73 movie with Ted Neely and Carl Anderson.

I watched it after the live show so was blissfully able to avoid the commercials that were a constant complaint. But I have to gree with many of my other reviewer's that it was not good enough especially after having grown up with the concept album and the 1973 version. John legend is very clearly a talent singer but he does not have the range for this part. It was obvious in some parts that he was struggling to hit the notes. As a singer and a from a performer I actually do understand how difficult it can be to do a live show and keep the energy up and hit all the notes. However a man of his caliber should have recognized his limitations. I enjoyed some of the over-the-top antics because it fits the material. The original help prince Broadway version of the show is the definition of over-the-top and this production is subtle compared to it. I'm coming to customs I'm fine with the staging and I'm fine with most of the singers. Some of them very clearly strong including the one who plays Simon. But there are clearly some sound mixing problems that should have been worked out in dress rehearsals. Overall it is not a horrible introduction of Broadway shows to today's audiences but for those who love the theater it was simply not good enough.

ALICE COOPER my ASS.One got em song. It's a joke to advertise as Starring Alice Cooper.... Wasted my time...... They did that so more people can watch the show using his name. The show itself wasn't that good compare to original movie. Signing voices were poor, maybe couple of them were OK. I did not enjoy the guy playing Jesus he even did not look like one, compare to original movie. For me that would be a big waist of money if I would buy tickets to see this play....
