VIDEO: Late Night Did A JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Parody With ... Popsicle Sticks?

Just last night, Seth Meyers brought Jesus Christ Superstar to life in "Popsicle Schticks". The parody starts off with a quick nod to the iconic song "Superstar," then moves on to "What's The Buzz?". However, the lyrics sound a little more like this: "What's the schtick? Tell me, what's a popsicle?" and "Why should you want a schtick? Don't you mind about the popsicle."

A smooth transition brings the parody into one of Mary's classic numbers, "Everything's Alright", then moves onto a nod to King Herod. In his song, the popsicle version of the King sings, "Prove to me that you are nice, change my fruit juice into ice!" The closing number of this parody returns back to the iconic "Superstar" number, complete with an Elvis-like costume and large ensemble singing, "Jesus Christ, Super Schtick... what kind of pun are we dealing with?"

Don't forget to catch Jesus Christ Superstar: Live! Set for Easter Sunday (April 1, 2018), NBC will bring to broadcast television "Jesus Christ Superstar Live!" -- a one-of-a-kind live staging of the iconic 1971 Broadway rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. The event will be executive produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Marc Platt, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.

The "Jesus Christ Superstar" album hit #1 on the Billboard charts and made its way to the stage in 1971. It is based on the final week of Jesus' life. The 1971 musical opened at the Mark Hellinger Theatre on Broadway and was nominated for five Tonys, including Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical for Ben Vereen as Judas. Lloyd Webber won a Drama Desk Award for Most Promising Composer. Since then, the musical has been considered a classic and has become a staple of theatre and music organizations throughout the world. It has been performed in nearly 20 countries and translated into 18 different languages. The 2000 and 2012 Broadway revivals of "Jesus Christ Superstar" each earned a Tony nomination for Best Revival of a Musical.
