On
Easter Sunday this year
NBC continued its recent trend of live musical events and broadcast
Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert with an all-star cast including
John Legend as
'Jesus', Sara Bareilles as
'Mary Magdalene', Brandon Victor Dixon as
'Judas', Ben Daniels as
'Pontius Pilate' and
Alice Cooper as
'King Herod'. This television adaptation of the rock opera garnered thirteen
Emmy Award nominations, including for
Costume Design, and even took home the
Emmy for
Outstanding Variety Special (Live).

Paul Tazewell was the
Emmy-nominated
Costume Designer on this
NBC musical special, along with
Assistant Costume Designers Laaleh Mizani and
Heather Lockard and
Costume Supervisor Rory Powers.
This cool collection of costumes from
Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert were part of the
12th annual Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design exhibition at
Downtown L.A.'s FIDM Museum on August 21, 2018.
I especially like
Alice Cooper's King Herod suit which comes adorned with a pattern of skulls and the faces and bodies of tortured souls.
If you're a musicals fan, be sure to also check out these
costumes and props from NBC's Peter Pan Live and these
Hairspray Live costumes too.
