    WATCHED OVER AND OVER

    I usually watch Jesus Christ Superstar on repeat over Easter weekend, but this year it was Superstars: The Extended Version. The new photos, the reunion interviews, the behind-the-scenes insights--it's truly a treasure trove for JCS SuperFans! THANK YOU to the JCS team for this gift.

    Fantastic

    It is a great musical!

    I love it. And I saw him play the part here in the Netherlands a few times.

    Wonderful to see the original cast.

    Amazing to see the cast after all these years, and to see how involved they still are with each other, and with the film. This provided a lot of insight into the production and the filming of one of my favorite films, and brought back a lot of memories. Thanks to all of the cast and crew for agreeing to get together and take the time to do this.

    Jesus Christ Superstar is ageless

    This movie has stood the test of time. The music and gospel resonates for all generations.

    A MUST SEE FOR SUPERSTAR FANS

    If you are a mega fan of Jesus Christ Superstar, like myself, the extended version of "Superstars" is a must see! The interviews and reunion with the cast and director (then and now) give you insight into the making of the movie and also reveals how much the cast and director think of each other. The beautiful tributes at the end for the late Barry Dennen and Carl Anderson will warm your heart. A big thumbs up!
