Jesus Christ Superstar (Original London Concept Recording) $14.24 It may not have been the first rock opera (the Who’s Tommy was released in 1969), but Jesus Christ Superstar was a legendary album long before it hit the stage, thanks to Tim Rice’s compelling book and lyrics combined with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s irresistible music. Telling the story of the last days of Christ from the point of view of Judas (Murray Head), the still-unmatched original cast also star… |

Tommy $5.83 The Who’s innovative rock opera gets an electrifying, eye-popping film treatment from director Ken Russell.

Jesus Christ Superstar (Special Edition) $5.45 Ted Neeley makes for a wimpy looking Jesus in Norman Jewison’s screen adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice “rock opera,” which was a smash on stage in the early ’70s. Jewison (Other People’s Money) adds some good exterior settings in the desert, but Webber and Rice’s dialogue-free story (everything is sung, as in a real opera), with its quasi-profundities about the inner demons of princi… |

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat $12.46 Following the successful 1998 video release of Cats comes another Andrew Lloyd Webber blockbuster musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and it’s a savvy choice. It hasn’t been represented on film before, it’s short enough (78 minutes) to present without cuts, and it has the star power of former teen icon Donny Osmond, who played over 1,800 performances across North America.
