The Shows Must Go On

On his YouTube channel, "The Shows Must Go On," Andrew Lloyd Webber is streaming a new one of his shows every Friday, available for 48 hours. They seem to be major, but lesser-known alternative productions than the best-known ones.

Jesus Christ Superstar is on now (certainly appropriate for this weekend). I’m about five minutes in -- it’s sort of barebones staging but interestingly done, modern dress, and the opening was vibrant. I'm not a big enough of fan of his work to see everything, but I’ll check things out.

(By the way, the guy who plays Judas – Tim Minchin – is the fellow who wrote the score to the Broadway hit musical, Matilda.)

You can see them all here.
