Would you let your kids watch Jesus Christ Superstar?

I remember seeing JCS onstage when I was about 10. I remember two things about it: the music, and the full frontal nudity. There was a scene at the end where most of the cast did a number completely naked. I can't remember the song. My mom was quite shocked. She didn't expect that.

I don't think they do the full frontal nudity thing now.

You sure you weren't actually at Hair instead?

That was Hair. The scene at the end of JCS is the Crucifiction. The whole cast wouldn’t be nude.

Np here. I was trying to picture a version of JCS ending with nudity, lol. Possiblity for the King Herod scene, though.

I have the soundtrack and always need to turn it off before the last tracks. Very eerie, disturbing, and scary sounding. Do they have that in the tv version?

I saw a version of JCS where Herod wore assless chaps. It was around the turn of the century at the Warner. The version that Andrew Lloyd Weber is streaming today (4/11/20) does not have this.

I’m going to watch it with my 8 and 11 year old tonight. If they decide they don’t want to watch I’ll turn it off.
I loved the live version when it was first broadcast

Is it no longer available streaming?

Possibly not. I read that it is only up for 48 hrs and they start on Fridays I think.

I'm the PP who thought I saw a nude scene in JCS. That's hilarious. I don't even remember seeing Hair. We had one of those annual memberships to the big theater in the city. I saw so many plays/musicals growing up that I obviously can't keep them separate in my mind.

Oh, yes, and the 48 hours looks like it's on UK starting time.
Have they announced another musical for next week?

JCS had a scene full of nudity - or did! My mom saw it in London at 16 and always talks about the impression if left on her. I wanna see it here in the states and told her I knew for a fact there would be no nudity in a Midwest Bible Belt area 😂

I would hold off with my 8-year-old due to Judas’s suicide scene, more than the crucifixion. A mature 6th grader, no problem.

We used to watch it in religion class every Easter starting around 7 or 8, I think.
