The Musicals-Jesus Christ Superstar (TALK ABOUT A CONTROVERSY !) edited here to add-(I LOVED JCS, I think it is one of the best musicals and adaptations I have EVER seen!)Godspell, where was the uproar from the religious critics then?
I thought Dogma was horrifically sacrilegious but nobody screamed about that OR The Last Temptation of Christ...except the Christians and then-we were trying to practice censorship.

I thought Dogma did receive some controversy, especially because Alanis Morrisette was playing God. I don't know about JCS, but I was really surprised when my high school and the local boys' school did it without any complaints from the school chaplain.
