That Tyler Perry Jesus Musical is still happening — Page 2

I'm watching in Australia. 

 

I've been watching, not really enjoying it at all. It's just random songs with narration in between.

I don't understand why none of Jesus' material has actually been live, it's been like a music video but they're wearing microphones on their faces for some reason.

It's like they're showing a film of a jukebox musical to a live audience and occasionally someone actually sings in front of them; with backup gospel singers.  Very confusing.  

This is really weird and confusing. I feel like they are trying to do too much at once.

I also find it alienating as a non-Christian. This is oddly not the case with more traditional tellings of this story. 

Edit: Jesus' constant bedroom eyes confuse me.

I'm bailing as well. It's mostly a weird PSA for New Orleans (as many people speculated it would be), and structurally makes ROCK OF AGES look like MY FAIR LADY.

I'll just put on JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR thank you very much.

My mom and dad are liking it.  I find it weird. Was hoping for more story with characters with songs. Like a real musical.  It's almost like they needed to add everything to the cross procession to make it seem less religious. 

It's not a musical or a concert or a film... Really, it's more like a million dollar Living Stations.

Beginning to think Mr. Nowack is right. It's a PSA for New Orleans. 

The whole show is ineffective, because nobody is playing a character. It's just Trisha or Daughtry singing (quite well, I might add). It feels like a concert, not people portraying characters.

This is less of a live musical and more of a sermon crossed with a church play (like a nativity play). Too much narration for me. And I love Trisha Yearwood but she's no Whitney Houston. All the music choices are giving me a Glee vibe.

Oh my God, Daughtry is singing Evanescence. Still not enjoying the show but this is hilarious.

When I think Jesus,  I think Hoobastank 

I thought Jesus was going to zip line from the top of the Westin to the stage.
