I'll have to listen to the rest now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PugJesus@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's unironically one of my favorite musicals. It's surprisingly not very religious, considering its subject matter. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It certainly sounds critical based on that song. Randy Newman did a version of Faust which was similarly critical of God. I quite liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgcsMphORJo permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PugJesus@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It walks a very fine line that appeals to both Christians and non-Christians. It's more about the drama and struggle around Jesus, without ever directly addressing his divinity or lack thereof. Judas has all the banger songs, though. He's the protagonist, really. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 2 years ago Honestly, I wasn't even concerned about the plot. If it has a good plot, that's also good. I just liked the song and wanted to hear more. permalink fedilink source parent
