Is it possible to make a more defiantly Rent-a-boy looking Jesus musical effort?
I beg to think not! The music is well known and the piece benefits from modern production techniques. This version is much less dusty than the original movie effort, and will have the youngsters all excited by the youthful vigor and dancing that envelopes this production. If this movie does not make you want to jump up out of your seat and dance then no biblical musical effort ever will, rest assured. Both angst ridden and, yet, joyfully exuberant, and, yet, murderously sinister in places, the lighting never lets it down.
