I hope Brandon gets an Emmy nod for this because he is KILLING IT!!! This is going to get him all kinds of mainstream recognition.

That is Oliver Award winning Ben Daniels who looks damn fine for being 54 years old.

Thank you and yes he does.

I believe so, and I liked the choice. Judas hangs himself (presumably by kicking the ladder from underneath himself). It was an effective way of implying the suicide without showing Judas hanging himself on Easter Sunday, in front of the whole family. (I thought, anyways)

I also liked the stark lighting with the falling glitter afterward.

Yeah I was confused why they cut to black screen so quickly.

Well I’ll be that one asshole that dares to say I didn’t like any aspect of BVDs Judas. Such a wasted opportunity. Wish like hell it had been someone else.

I have a few mixed feelings....however, I thought he nailed it in Superstar just now.

Not a fan of John Legend's physical choice to demonstrate pain/fatigue. He seems stiff legged (but strong) from the shoulders down, but from the neck up, he's a bobblehead.

I kind of agree. He has been a big “meh” for me until that Superstar, which was fun.

Do we know if / is it possible this will be available later? How has it worked with previous NBC productions? It's hard seeing this from the outside the US. Overall I think I've gotten like, 10 minutes of the show* from snippets on social media and other sites.

*But I'm so in love with what I've seen!

I was just telling my husband that BVD is about to get a lot more famous. Loved him as Aaron Burr. I had tix for Shuffle Along but it closed before I could see it.

I just got to the glitter for Judas death and WHAT HAPPENED THERE? The glitter was stunning last night, and it brought so much more to the moment than the 5 pieces that fell tonight. I hope somebody in the room can tell us what happened with that when the glitter glitched out. That's a point where I would want yesterday's tape the run, because the moment didn't feel the same. At my angle I couldn't even see Judas but it still was so much more impactful than tonight's.

^ In the past, they’ve usually done DVD releases of these live shows, so I’d be surprised if they didn’t do the same for this one.

That may have just saved the live musical on TV genre

Phenomenal from start to finish

I'm glad they didn't feel the need to stretch this out to 3 hours like the past few shows

I though Sara was near perfection. Norm was my second favorite in the whole thing. I was a fan of BVD most of the time too. John Legend was OK but made some odd choices (the voice sounded tired so I'm a little less critical of that, obviously he can sing). Biggest disappointment was Alice Cooper, what a colossal waste of an opportunity for a song that can steal the show when done well. I thought costumes were great and staging was creative. Overall, an interesting different way of doing a live TV musical. It certainly had a better energy than some of the soundstage live musicals.

You know who I would have loved to see as Herod? Alan Cumming. Alice Cooper was just lame. I mean, even Colbert would have been better (and he knows the song by heart).
