Let me clear about one thing regarding this posting: I in no way whatsoever consider Broadway musicals comparable musically to opera. This especially holds true for Andrew Lloyd Webber. However, how could I resist this photo of a German production of Jesus Christ Superstar? Germans seem to have a knack for stripping down their singers and adorning them in black leather. Rather than delve into the national psyche of that nation in the post-World War II era, I think it is best to just enjoy their theatrical imagery.
