NBC's "Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert"
Since television networks have produced musicals written by Rodgers & Hammerstein, Pasek & Paul, and more, it was only a matter of time before NBC or FOX put one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals on display for the world to see. For their 2018 live televised musical, NBC produced Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar in a fully realized production that was well directed, well cast, and beautifully designed. While the television event was billed as a concert, it was not. Instead, NBC's production of Jesus Christ Superstar , which highlights the final days of the life of Jesus Christ, was a fully staged production that was glorious to behold. While NBC found creative success with The Wiz: Live! and Hairspray: Live! , they have hit the nail right on the head with their near perfect production of Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert . For this live telecast, NBC decided to stage their production on an actual stage in front of an audience.
