	Author	Review
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"After being diverted by a whirling mass of glitter, leather, tattoos, disco moments, rock-star preening and heart-rending betrayal, yes, for a moment, I was there. And that was something."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"This was a phenomenally balanced production of 'Jesus Christ Superstar', in which star power was equaled by depth of feeling and characterization in all the principals"	POS
United States	Noel Murray The New York Times	"A conceptual and artistic triumph (...) The production was genuinely thrilling (...) This 'Jesus Christ Superstar' was as thoughtful and challenging as the show has ever been."	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"An inventively staged production (...) so passionately imagined that it set a new standard for this type of event."	POS
United States	Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times	"By the grace of God, or maybe a great cast and lots and lots of expert staging, a great musical became a great TV production."	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"It’s all groovy, baby. It’s beautiful, too. So was NBC’s enjoyable live (and lively) 'JCS' (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
