Jesus Christ Superstar

The movie version was just on TV. Why did I watch this? It is freaking weird. I normally love all things musical theater (and most movie versions too), but this was weird. I have never seen the stage version and only heard a few of the songs. I can't get past how strange it is. It is sooooooooooo dated. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be funny, serious or just sad. Sad, because of the story, but also because it is so strange that it's just sad. I can't explain it. Have you seen this movie or stage performance? What do you think?
