"The rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, which is loosely based on the final days of Jesus of Nazareth, ... is clearly a beloved musical, with a rich, moving, rock-infused score. While Spotlight Youth Theatre's cast may be somewhat younger than the characters they are portraying, they deliver moving portrayals in a well-done production. You also can't beat seeing such a talented cast of teenagers and being inspired by the vast careers they almost all have ahead of them....beautifully directed by Mark 4man and Lynzee 4man,...Sam Primack's Jesus is heartfelt, introspective, conflicted and sad yet also infused with elements of charm, humility and passion. His forceful performance of "Gethsemane" hits all the right notes ...Joey Grado's Judas is appropriately lost, angered and dissatisfied. ..Jasmine Bassham makes for a beautiful and loving Mary. Her "I Don't Know How to Love Him" is well sung, with a realistic introspection...The intimacy of the small Spotlight space allows a deep connection between cast and audience and provides a refined clarity of the many emotional moments in the show. ...an emotionally rich and moving production of this classic rock musical........ " -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
