A masterful work of art and music, the show focused on a human portrayal of Jesus’ passion week. The show dramatizes the last week of Jesus’ life, including the unrest caused by his preaching and popularity, his betrayal by Judas, his trial before Pontius Pilate, and his crucifixion. Many Christian groups denounced the show, claiming that it was too sympathetic to Judas and denied the divinity of Jesus. Nearly forty years later, one local church has decided to take a different approach to the show.
