Thoughts on Jesus Christ Superstar

So, I saw Jesus Christ Superstar for the first time today. One of my good friends was in the ensemble/played one of the guards who flogged Jesus. He was so good in it! I'm so proud of him. In general, the play was amazing! King Herod was played by a faux drag queen who looked like Ursula from The Little Mermaid. The costumes were fantastic. Caiaphas had this awesome disco mobster Jew look. Some members of the ensemble (three really beautiful black women) were dressed in these awesome white Southern belle church-goer dresses with white sun hats and fans. Also, I had no idea that Jesus Christ Superstar is such a homoerotic play! Judas is just this sexually questioning homophobe who can’t handle that he’s in love with a dude…a dude who also happens to be the messiah. God, Judas, stop getting people crucified and accept that you like men.
