I agree almost entirely with this review. Almost. I didn't think Legend was up to playing Jesus. He's no actor, and his vocal chops fell painfully short on "Gethsemane." In fact, I later sought refuge in the perfection of Ted Neeley's iconic movie performance. (See on YouTube.)

I felt the same, he never seemed spent. Or as if he had started to loose his way knowing it was at the end. He seemed more like the superstar. Than the Jesus on Broadway that seemed to move with more humility. Grateful that John brought the project to tv.

Nothing about Sara Bareilles? Her rendition of “ I Don’t Know How to Love Him” was showstopping. Only real criticism: There were too many commercial breaks that went on too long. This disrupted the flow and energy of the production.

Sorry, it may have been terrific to some, but I found the frequent commercial breaks ruined it.

I missed it! How can I watch it now?

It's on Hulu starting today and is wonderfully commercial-free as opposed to 10 commercials every 5 minutes last night. Thank you, Hulu!!!

Watched the live show on NBC and it was outstanding. Wasn't sure what I would think, but I was truly impressed. DVRd it will watch again.
