Jesus Christ Superstar: Undervalued Kitsch

This week, I've been doing some research on the influence that the Bible had had on stage and screen. You can forget Joseph and His Technicolour Dreamcoat, the rock opera that I now believe is an underrated classic is Jesus Christ Superstar. My one flashback memory from childhood of the film (never saw the stage show) is everyone getting on the bus after the crucifixion.

I was clearly too young to appreciate the true value of what I had been watching. With its up-tempo numbers and quirky casting, Jesus Christ Superstar is a great example of biblical entertainment. And I can guarantee you that if you watch the clip above, the song will be in your head all day long.

Yeah, I couldn't resist. And now, the song has engraved itself in my medulla. Thanks! :)
