Is THIS the Face of Jesus?
I heard a radio commercial this morning that the play Jesus Christ Superstar is coming to Indianapolis, with actor Ted Neeley reprising the role of Jesus. I've got nothing against Jesus Christ Superstar. I've enjoyed it since I was 12, and I'm 46 now. I've got nothing against Ted Neeley, he was wonderful in the movie version of JCS. Here's the thing: Ted, you're 63 years old! Give it a rest, man. Part of the tragedy of Jesus was that he died before his natural time. The Passion of Christ loses its power if when he dies people say, "it's a shame, but he was bound to go soon anyway."
If you go to the play, here's a tip: buy tickets in the back, way back, and enjoy the show.
