Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Presented by Drag Daddy Productions and The Chicken Coop
What did our critic think of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Drag Daddy Productions And The Chicken Coop?

I’d venture to say that Jesus Christ Superstar is one of those rare shows to land in the center of this hypothetical chart.
