I was involved in a stage production of Jesus Christ superstar when I was 16, I memorized just about every part in both English and Spanish (damn my obsessive nature!) and I was not swayed by it. In fact, I find it does a great job of humanizing the characters so well that i couldn’t help but think of “jebus” as anything other than a man. Which is the whole point of the play anyway.
It deals with Jesus as a man and his followers as followers of men, his divinity is left between him and his god.
