Lots of glitter.

Judas has to be strong, and VERSATILE.

Glitter?

Jesus had a man bun

Very millennial aesthetic

Herod was fab

My two complaints are minor

But they are?

One:they chose to use handheld mics

OH GOD.

NO.

This worked for some songs, rock concert feel

But there were points where they got in the way

A lot of the cast accompanied themselves on guitar

See also: concert feel

Other complaint:they were pushing tempo hard through out the show

I....eesh.

I could be convinced, if the show was pointed that way.

Works for most, but I don't know how to love him and Gethsemane needed a bit more room in breathe than they got

Yeah.

Judas, as said, rocked

The thirty pieces of silver were in a trunk, right?

When he reached in to get them, his hands came out with silver paint. As he tried to clean his hands, he spread the silver stain up his arms

OH I like that.

And he's wailing the whole time, right? Singing?

yup

As said, minor quibbles

but there's always quibbles

it holds up remarkably well for a 50 year old show

No CHROME helmets?

(Like the movie......)

nope

(I will defend the movie costumes - the logic behind them is very clear, and they're a pretty good fusion of contemporary 70s with historical influences)

The roman guards had swat helmest modified with roman visors

Except for the bit where you can see filming cameras in the helmets?

I GET the logic of them but it didn't work.....

well, yes

I forgive a lot

they blew their budget on filming in israel

Yep.

I'm sure it made sense at the time.

Yeah

My dad had a thing.

it is very much Of The Time

He would say "Is this a reason or an excuse?"

NOW ..... I understand the difference.

The budget thing is a Reason. It is NOT an Excuse. ((G))

The excuse is that reshoots, on film, are expensive

so discovering reflections might have been too damn late

THAT Is a known issue.
