The production at the Hobby Center of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's hit musical muddles its message with overkill.
Mary Magdalene wears Nikes. I don’t get the costumes for Jesus’s followers: is it a Star Wars vibe, with all those beige separates? Or are these sloppy workout clothes? Tom Scutt’s leather creations are better for the authority figures such as Caiaphas and his entourage, and the gold lamé business with Herod is high-camp Vegas and hard to forget.
The musical is all over the map—more Judas Priest and Jazzercise than Jesus Christ. Each scene is like a jigsaw puzzle piece, but none of them belong to the picture on the box. Yes, this isn’t meant to be history or theology, but when Jesus says he wants the crucifixion just to happen already, “before I change my mind,” it undercuts the previous lyrics that assert that Jesus knows his fate. There is no “changing your mind.”
