There is a Jesus Christ Superstar screening/singalong at a theater here coming up and I am SO excited. It's such a weirdly intense religiously significant movie for me--I'm not Christian anymore, but I was raised Catholic and I have a lot of fondness for aspects of it still. And I looooove a good Sacrificed God.

@smallesttiger I’ve seen Hamilton, but not Jesus Christ Superstar. This must be some kind of musical blasphemy. I’ve been waiting for a production of it, but maybe I should just see the movie????

@Litchi it has some really good songs! And it's so fun! And I find its treatment of Judas really poignant

@smallesttiger I know absolutely nothing about it other than all of the six notes sung in 🎶 Je-sus Christ, Suuuuper Star! 🎶 Just looked it up and saw that it’s Andrew Lloyd Weber. I loooooved Phantom of the Opera. Gotta move this up my watch queue now!!

@Litchi be ready for some awesome hippie apostle outfits!

@smallesttiger Wow, this article really does make the costumes sound amazing!!! Fitting they’d put them in “70s counterculture” wear.
