This is a film version of the original stage show. The sets are sparse but effective and the singing is first class. Having seen the original in the West End it can't quite live up to the "in your face" live performance but is an excellent second choice.

Was a Gift for my mom who is a great fan of musicals. The music takes a little getting used to - unless you're a fan of hip hop - but once you've watched it once it becomes hard to decide which one (Of the two jesus superstars) is better. In this version you have a scene with the pharisees that you will miss if you watch the modern version. Pilate is really believable both soft and strong, and the charachter who plays Jesus, i feel, is closer to the Bibles story of him bearing it all 'with dignity'. Both myself and my mother would highly recommend
I am absolutely delighted with this special fillm.. Wonderful to have it to watch again and again. Thank you.

Brilliant version of the classic musical that i first saw as a child on a school trip (with the original London cast).

I bought this as my parents used to watch it when I was very young and I remembered the songs. That was about 20 years ago, watching it again almost brought a tear to my eye. The quality is excellent and nothing is lost on the dvd format (compared to the vhs). this is one of my favourite Webber musicals and I feel it's been overshadowed by others, it also shows the 'history' of Jesuss' last days from a different perspective.
I always loved this film.Glad to have my own copy.

I love this first version better than the remakes. Herods song makes me laugh and the rendition of " I dont know how to love him" is haunting..

bit of a hiccup to start, but that was down to my lack of techno savvy played fine after my son intervened !.
