Broadway & a Brewski – Jesus Christ Superstar

Another great Ruggy event! If you had asked me the day before the show I would have told you I hated musicals… well I have been swayed. I loved the show!
Thanks to Ruggy and Unilocal for this opportunity!

I’d been meaning to watch this show since Josh Young is in it (and I have way too much college pride [GO ORANGE]), so when I saw there was a chance to watch it with Unilocal,I had to take it. Plus, I got an awesome seat. And I got to meet him afterward. A win-​win-​win-​win-​win.
Thanks Ruggy for the awesome event! It was my first and twas definitely a great experience. Can’t wait for future events!

Thanks, Ruggerford B. Hayes. I had wanted to see this show for a long time, but had just never gotten around to it. I ended up with a way better seat than I’d have gotten on my own, and I got to meet cool people to boot. I didn’t get to stay for the brewski, but that seemed pretty sacrilegious after the theater material anyway. I kid, I kid. Keep the sweet events coming, Unilocal

Great revival, fun night outing where Josh Young was phenomenal and definitely stole the show! Fantastic music, and the perfect length of a show :)

I think Jesus was great. I think the stars of the show were Jesus’s weave, Jesus’ treadmill hot-​guy walk and Jesus’ facial expressions. To play Jesus onstage in a musical and not have your audience dissolve into laughter is hard and I give you thumbs up Paul Nolan. I also loved the dreadlocked Priests, Mary Magdalene’s back and Herod had me rolling. Outside of this — great, energetic performance by the entire cast. That whipping scene was near traumatizing in its simplicity and Josh Young gave a powerful voice and presence to Judas. Was a good time. Nice to meet you Ruggy and thanks!

‘Twas my 25^th Birthday, and Unilocal once again found a way to make me praise the gods, or in this case the Jesus Christ Superstar. I had never seen it before, and getting off of the waitlist literally made my week. Thanks so much for a fantastic show, great seats right in the orchestra, and tunes to sing along to all the way home. I couldn’t make it to Lilly’s, unfortunately, but Ruggy did a fantastic job putting it all together.

I’m happy to write my 100^th review on another amazing Unilocal event. Thank you Ruggy for another great night of theater. This was a great production with a compelling story line, sophisticated production set, and an amazingly talented cast. My seat was pretty good too. I felt that the standout stars were Josh Young as Judas and Paul Nolan as Jesus. They had a wonderful range and sang with passion and fervor. I’m really glad I got a chance to see this show, especially with the Elite Unilocal crew. I look forward to many more events in the future. Thanks again, Ruggy!

Having been in love with musicals and broadway since I was a little girl, I jumped to rsvp for this event. Luckily, I was one of the Unilocal chosen to go. I had amazing seats center stage in row 7. Awesome!!!
This revival blew me away. Josh Young was a phenomenal Judas, whose vocals soared. He truly steals the show. I was dancing in my seat the entire time.
Thank you Ruggy for this amazing event and I’m looking forward to many more.

Great Broadway revival of JCS!
This rock & roll musical on Jesus’ last days is still awesome to watch .
The singing by Josh Young as Judas steals the show. Paul Nolan as Jesus was also fantastic.
The stage layout is modern urban chic and well coordinated; everything changes in front of us at lighting pace.
Thanks Ruddy for a great Unilocal Night on Broadway.
Brewski at Lilly was also an excellent choice.

Great show, great seats. Catchy tunes, great voices.
Love Unilocal,love Unilocal.
Echo?
Wish I went to the bar afterwards though, wish I went to the bar afterwards though.
Oh Ruggy, oh Ruggy.

So I have to steal a page from Lady Gaga’s book and confess: I’m still in love with Judas, baby… damn, Josh Young blew me away! Extremely well-​deserved Tony nomination… but more broadly, Jesus Christ Superstar was phenomenal. I grew up watching the movie version, so I knew the score was amazing (Andrew Lloyd Webber can do no wrong). But the cast and their voices did not disappoint. Such a great time!
Thank you so, so much, Unilocal and Ruggy, for hooking me up! This is why I love being Unilocal Elite!

Thanks for this event, Unilocal!It was super easy to find out Unilocal reps, and the box office was on top of things, making ticket pick up easy and hassle free! Much improve on some past events! Many, MANY thanks!

i’m a big fan of musicals. I’m an even bigger fan of broadway musicals. And I’m a huge fan of free broadway musicals.
wow Unilocal,free theater is awesome, and our seats were also pretty incredible! I had a blast at the show. I wasn’t really familiar with the musical itself, except for that darn catchy title song and the whole biblical story, so I guess I was more familiar with it than I thought. But the performers’ voices and athleticism of the dancers were incredible.
I was so thrilled to be able to attend this event. It was definitely a memorable wednesday night, so thanks!

A special thank you to Ruggy and Jando for allowing me the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful production/​remake of Jesus Christ Superstar. I was too young to remember my first viewing experience, and the movie was definitely not going to replace the live theater experience for this play. The seat I got in the Neil Simon Theatre was excellent with a great view of all the performances and backdrops.
The performances were wonderful. The classical production by Tim Rice and music by the revered Andrew Lloyd Webber was revived by director Des McAnuff. The show never lets up, and it was two of the busiest viewing hours I have ever experienced. The use of modern garb made for a nice touch to bring the story a modern-​rock touch. The athleticism shown by the Jesus’ apostles and followers were quite amazing as they flipped, somersaulted, danced, and slid across the stage.
Josh Young, the actor who played Judas Iscariot, had an amazing voice with incredible range. He was the standout performer and successfully emoted the internal conflicts and torment as the disciple who would ultimately betray his teacher. The actors who played Jesus and Mary Magdelene were very solid, but it was often overshadowed by the awesome numbers by Judas. While Mr. Young was consistently amazing throughout the show, which culminated in an explosive final performance in the crucifixion scene, the most memorable performance belonged to that of Bruce Dow (as Herod).
In his attempt to mock Jesus and his powers, Dow plays Herod with fantastic energy and glee. One of the best lyric was, «Prove to me that you’re no fool/​/​Walk across my swimming pool.» Just hilarious! Tom Hewitt gets special mention for his portrayal of Pontius Pilate in his crazy purple velvet suit. Both were a bit more on the comical side, which reduced the villianous portrayal that one come to expect having read the Biblical texts and scriptures.
Because of the comical nature for some of the characters, some might find the story a bit too «lighthearted» for a telling of Jesus’ last few days. That being said, it is a remake that is truly worth watching (maybe more than once). Thank you again to Unilocal for providing the opportunity for such a memorable experience.

Seriously! There are no words for how dope this CMYE was!
I got to the box office right on time and the doorman asked me if I was with Unilocal.Do I have that Unilocal look? Let’s hope so! The staff and venue will get their own separate review, and so will the show. Let’s focus on this Unilocal event. Do I really need to say anything though? It’s a rockin’, funkin’ Broadway show! Thanks for hookup Ruggy!!!
I went solo and although seated with other awesome Unilocalers, I didn’t see any familiar faces till after the show. What a fun family we have! That dreaded commute back to NJ kept me from grabbing a brewski at Lille’s after the show. I left the fam at the theater doors… walking away feeling sad, lonely, jealous, and reminded of that feeling I used to have in my late teens and early 20’s when staying home on a weekend night…“I just know I’m missing something good!“
Oh, tell me what I missed!
No! Don’t tell me!
