Yesterday
This is one of the few Andrew Lloyd Webber shows I had yet to see, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was a little lost at first, once I locked into the story, it hit hard. What a powerful performance. The actors and actresses were amazing. I may see it again with my family now that I'm more in tune with the stage play.

One of the best show you can get. Jesus, Pontius Pilate, priests, Simon the Zealot, Herod -- are very talented performers.
