Ted Neeley makes for a wimpy looking Jesus in Norman Jewison's screen adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice 'rock opera,' which was a smash on stage in the early '70s. Jewison (Other People's Money) adds some good exterior settings in the desert, but Webber and Rice's dialogue-free story (everything is sung, as in a real opera), with its quasi-profundities about the inner demons of principal figures in the life of Christ, is the real hook. Yvonne Elliman sings the show's best-known song, 'I Don't Know How to Love Him.' --Tom Keogh

- What's the buzz.....
What's the buzz? Tell me whats a happening. A 1970's totally classic and dramatic with catchy toons. A different way of looking at the story of Christ for anyone. It's a must for all musical lovers.

- Superstar review
I have been a fan of this musical and movie for a very long time. I was very pleased to find it at a very good price. In spite of what some people say,Ted Neely did a fine job of portraying Jesus. Carl Anderson as Judas and Yvonne Elliman as Mary were wonderful in their supporting roles.Yvonne's vocal had the feeling of wonder and pain in her uncertainty. Overall a very good experience.

- Excellant
I don't agree with the Editorial Review's of Ted Neely's performance as "wimpy". I would say "humanistic" is the better choice.

The scene of Judas's betrayal is both poignant and wrenching as two men are torn between loss of friendship and their belief of what is right.

Yvonne Elliman's portrayal of Mary Magdalene is also very moving as she struggles with understanding and loving Jesus the man in a world of upheavel and contention that surround them.

- Best story ever!
This was the BEST depiction of the Jesus story I have ever seen. The music is phenominal, the cast of characters are perfect for their parts -anointed even. The lyrics cut to the bone.
My children, 4, 5, and 8 all LOVE it as much as my husband and I do. You will not be sorry! It's fascinating.
