osprey_archerI saw Jesus Christ Superstar.
Unfortunately it ran afoul of both my dislike of musicals without any dialogue (they could have had so much more character depth if they had replaced some of those vistas of rocky deserts with people actually talking to each other!) and my dislike of modern-costume productions (especially in the way that Jesus Christ Superstar does it, where the costumes are sort of half modernized so it just looks sort of slapdash), so I didn’t like it very much.
