Great reaction. Kudos to Ben for picking it. I've never seen it on stage, but have owned the album for a long time. I always considered it to be the story of Jesus from Judas' perspective. The live TV version that aired a couple years ago with John Legend is pretty amazing. I always find it funny that I'm such a big fan considering I'm an atheist. While I love the music, I've never been the biggest fan of the movie, because I don't care for the anachronisms and don't care for some of the Priest numbers (that aren't on the album). After watching along with you, having not seen it in well over a decade, I have a new appreciation for the films technical achievements. I was a kid when it was still really big on broadway, but didn't know much about it until I got to college in the 90s. There was a little song I learned from a cousin when I was a kid, It goes like this, "Jesus Christ: Superstar streaking down the hill on a Yamaha The cops were there they didn’t care they wore bulletproof underwear if I die, (bury me) hang my balls on a cherry tree if they fall catch them all send them all to juvenile hall if the judge says they smell tell them that he can go to hell" I have no idea what it has to do with the musical, where it originated from, or why I still remember it 30+ years later, but it's my first memory of the musical.

Thanks! Watching now. This movie is a long time favorite. In the 70s my dad was a seminary student who had to fight to be allowed to have a copy of the original album because it was considered sinful.

Also, you should watch this super cut of people (including Lin Manuel-Miranda) singing the “why” moment in Gethsemene https://youtu.be/CameSDK-2m8
