switchbladeeyesHappy Easter to those who celebrate religiously and/or culturally.
The spouse and I are going to a screening of the 1970s Jesus Christ Superstar movie today, a movie of Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera. The movie is kind of a trip if you haven't seen it.
The fun part is that Ted Neeley, who played Jesus in the movie, will be there in person introducing the movie and doing a meet and greet after the show.
It's one of my favorite musicals (I love musicals!) and I saw Ted Neeley perform the role on stage a couple of times in the 90s, including once with Carl Anderson, who played Judas in the movie.
I have seen the stage musical many, MANY times. But not so much the movie. I think this will be fun!
Edited to add: It was AWESOME. I'm putting a few addition remarks and pictures in the comments.
