Directed by Norman Jewison
Past and present mingle in this adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic rock opera, still the gold standard. Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson square off in the Israeli desert as Jesus and Judas, singing their way to the inexorable end with all the characters you might expect. The story may be ubiquitous, but it's never been seen like this before.
