I just happened to be in a Catholic grammar school when J.C. Superstar (as it was known) premiered. It was an interesting place to be. The old nuns were horrified, the young priests were all for it.
Personally, I thought it was a bit overblown as is all of Webber's stuff but, I did love the way they portrayed King Herod as a funny comedic type. There was one great line I'll never forget. Herod's interrogating Jesus and sings,
"Prove to me that you're no fool. Walk across my swimming pool."
