After Party: Jesus Christ Superstar Live with Time Out's Kris Vire
Listen now
Description
For this bonus episode, we asked Time Out Chicago theater critic Kris Vire to tell us what was a-happenin' with NBC's excellent addition to the live televised musical canon, Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert. Kris and Allison get into what worked (hint: a lot!), what didn't, and how well Ben Daniels' Pontius Pilate would do on RuPaul's Drag Race. We also wax rhapsodic about Brandon Victor Dixon, Sara Bareilles, John Legend, John Legend's cheekbones, and the rest of this (mostly) excellent cast.Worried we might not have enough expertise musically? Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine, because the great Kate Kulzick joins us to discuss the orchestration in "Gesthemane," among other things. Thanks to Kris and Kate for joining us, and thanks to costume designer Paul Tazewell for all those deep v-necks.
