Jesus Christ Superstar (Touring) Tickets

The performers were great, but some musicals are not meant to be modernized. This is one of those musicals. So much was lost with the modernization of JCSS that could have been preserved if it was just kept in its classic form. My daughter who is 13 and has never seen the original, had no idea what was going on and had trouble following. The omission of Jesus’ traditional garb made it difficult to differentiate him from the other male performers. Due to the lack of scene changes, my daughter was confused and thought the entire play was happening in the same location. I was so excited for her and I to see the musical but left very disappointed. If I were there alone, I would’ve walked out after the first song. We went home and watched the original 1974 (or whatever year) version on tv. King Herrod was unnecessarily in drag….not interested in ever seeing this version again.

The performers were very good, but you had a hard time hearing them when they would speak. They need to upgrade their audio systems by wearing headset microphones and not using hand held microphones. My opinion is kind of jaded due to the fact that I saw the original broadway production back in the 70s.

The singers were exceptional at both music and acting . The staging was exceptional. Unfortunately the choreography was a disaster and the dancers clueless and talentless.

The stage set was amazing. The energy put forth by the entire cast was intense. The musicians were excellent. The biggest problems? --Rarely being able to clearly hear any of the words besides the occasional "Jesus", "Superstar", or "love him". This seemed a combination of venue acoustics, sound mixing (overbearing instrumentation), and plain enunciation by the vocalists. --Judas and Jesus spent half the show screaming (I think "get out"was the most frequent but it was hard to know for sure). I suppose it's written that way, but it didn't add anything to the show for me. --Not the production troupe's fault, but the show would benefit from non-singing interludes between songs to help set the stage. I was raised Catholic, know the story, and STILL had a rough time figuring out who was who, and where in the timeline they were. --Based on the credits/who's who, I'm pretty sure it was the "Mob Leader"that spent half the show crawling around the stage like Gollum? But I have no idea what the implication was supposed to be, and doing the same movements (spazzing claw hands swimming in midair) the entire show was, for me and my wife, more of a distraction than anything impactful. Evil spirit? Wrangling the mob mentality? Who knows. I'd never see it again, nor advise any friends to go see it. 1 star for the troupe's energy, 1 star for the clean and beautiful venue.

I loved the cast, dancing and heart put into such a wonderful musical. The microphones need to go!! A little distracting and I think was part of why words seemed muffled at times. Overall, well done!! Mary M and Judas were superb!!

Thanks to my father, I grew up listening to the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack. I had an opportunity to see the show 20+ years ago but could not make it. I was so excited when I saw that the show was coming to Huntsville!! From the first guitar riff, I was hooked. It was like like listening to the original soundtrack. This show was amazing, the voices, the action. I loved every bit of it. I will see it again if I have the opportunity.

Enjoyed the show very much. The music is fabulous. The ensemble was incredible! The only disappointment was that the musicians were not all visible. Had seen essentially this version of the show a few years ago in Nashville where the musicians could all be seen, and it really added a lot to the overall enjoyment.

The production is very good and the music brilliant. However, the lyrics are difficult to follow unless you are familiar with them. I suggest that you read through the lyrics before you see this show, after all, there are no spoilers to be found in this story. It was really interesting and different from previous productions I’ve seen. Clarity of lyrics has always been the main issue of this musical. With a little effort beforehand, that can be avoided and make the entire experience more enjoyable. The crucifixion scene is emotional, satisfying be prepared.

I enjoyed the musical - music and dancing was great. However, the highlight should have been the resurrection and not the crucifixion. It is wonderful that our Lord and Savior gave his life for us on the cross but the best part is that he arose again and wants us to join him in heaven one day!!

I have been a fan of Jesus Christ Superstar since I was a kid. This show did not disappoint. It was really a great show. The especially liked the vocal performances and choreography. The set was simple but well done. I would definitely recommend it to young and old alike.

I saw the original when I was 18, which was 58 years ago!!! The show at VBC was spectacular! Extremely talented artists, singers, dancers, musicians. Every aspect was beyond incredible!!! The music was spectacular, the vocalists and musicians- WOW!!! BRAVO to everyone👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Very moving, emotional, profound showing the horror that Jesus Christ endured prior to dying on the cross😫😱😰

I first saw Jesus Christ Superstar in 1974! It was great then and even better now!

I took a group of friends recently to see Jesus Christ Superstar and it was incredible. We all had a marvelous time, and it was thoroughly engaging. I had a challenge getting everyone to commit to going so I purchased my tickets a little later than I liked but we still got good seats. The musical was sort of a 50-year celebration since my wife and I originally saw it in 1972 while dating. It made us feel like kids again. The musical cast was outstanding, and we all had our favorites - Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdelene, and Caiphas/priests. The creativity and staging was unbelievable, and if I could, I would have gone back that night or the next day. I highly recommend it.

The "modernized"version of this classic show left us a bit dissatisfied. While I knew all the music by heart, my companion did not. And he could not discern the lyrics of any of the songs with the exception of Mary. It just sounded like screaming to him. We also thought the dancers, while fantastically talented, seemed to be too reminiscent of Michael Jackson's "Thriller."All in all, it was a bit disappointing.

This was the third time I've seen JC Superstar, and this production was by far the worst. The costumes were dreary, the singing was impossible to understand, and the dancing was a herky-jerky mess. I was in a group of three, and none of us could understand the lyrics. The music was fine but way too loud compared to the singing. The performers did a decent job with what they were given, but the whole felt thing felt very low budget. There wasn't a single scenery change, and the costumes, including hoodies and baggy sweatpants, looked like goodwill castoffs with very few exceptions. The show included lots of dancing, but no big, stirring dance numbers. For much of it, it seemed like individual dancers were just doing their own thing, hip-hop style. This was no doubt intentional, but it felt amateurish compared to other productions with more formal, synchronized choreography. When you pay this much for tickets, you expect a big production, and I'm sorry to say this didn't quite deliver.

Classic rock opera loosely based on the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. One of my all-time favs. This show had great vocals but the audio mix hampered the vocals.

Really nice updated staging. Have seen JCSS multiple times, enjoyed actors playing instruments.

We enjoyed the play very much. The singing was wonderful with creative use of costumes, props and set. The actors seemed to put their hearts and soul into their performances.

Nice production. Some good vocals. I liked the tone of Judas' (Elvie Ellis) voice but it was difficult to understand him - not clearly enunciating. Mary Magdalene (Jaden Dominique) had a strong, lovely voice. For me, the Pontius Pilate character stole the show (Alex Stone). He had strong vocals, really energized the character. I was disappointed in the portrayal of Jesus - this production perhaps - he just walked around a lot but I didn't feel like the actor was putting much emotion/feeling into it until the crucifixion. I love the music from Jesus Christ Superstar and am glad I went to see it but it wasn't the strongest production.

Good staging and dance; “orchestra” adequate; very young cast some of whom were not up to the vocal requirements, i. e., Judas, Caiaphas. Both had difficulty staying on pitch.
