'Jesus Christ Superstar' recounts the last days of Jesus Christ (Ted Neeley) from the perspective of Judas Iscariot (Carl Anderson), his betrayer. Too often mis-labeled a musical, this film is a 'rock opera.' There are no spoken lines, everything is sung.
Yvonne Elliman is electrifying as Mary Magdalene, and Carl Anderson couldn't have been better as Judas; but Ted Neeley as Jesus is more whiny than heroic.
