Personally, I can't imagine a world without Alice Cooper in it. The man can do no wrong! I've followed his career for as long as I can remember. So when I found out he was going to play King Herod in my favourite musical, I couldn't wait to see it. As usual, he didn't disappoint. But I have to admit, when he said "WOW", I fell in love with him all over again! I honestly believe there's nothing this talented man can't do. Long live Alice!!

There is an interview out there and Alice talks about who King Herod was egotistical paranoid puppet... and that helped him figure out how to play the role. Alice being a bible scholar and devout Christian helped....

When I first saw this rendition of JCS, I wasn't really a fan of Alice Cooper. But now that I am and I've seen what he can do, I love this version and how Alice puts his own spin on Herod. He's a born showman. (I also think it's really weird to see John Legend play Jesus.)

The costumer did a fantastic job with the outfit, I LOVE how his facial expressions change from curious, to demanding to fury to go in line with the lyrics.

I don't recall the name of the actor who did Herod in the L.A. production back in 1972, which I saw, but he was fantastic. Cooper does a magnificent characterization here, I only wish that he had been choreographed, maybe a bit of dancing interplay with the ladies. It was just too static, and I found that to be true of this whole production. Some of the singing was great, but the stage direction was so stiff. I saw Ted Neely in his prime, more than once. Those productions were energetic, emotional and a joy to watch. This one, had you just listened and not watched the screen would have come across no differently. Could have been so much more.
