Jesus Christ Superstar

Julia Jacklin pores over seemingly scattered past personal threads while tumbling through an impassioned kaleidoscope of present devotion and yearning.

“Jesus Christ Superstar” does not sell itself short in any respect; not in its music, not in its choreography and not in its effort of providing an exciting, thoughtful retelling of the days leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion, and BroadwaySF’s production of this complex musical will absolutely take your breath away.

We are presently in a golden age of television. It would be nearly impossible for one person to sort through all of the television at our fingertips and decide what is or isn’t the best. This is where the Emmy Awards come in.

It’s only when productions embrace this utter eccentricity — as Sunday’s live NBC taping of it did — that the show is truly successful.
