Significant That NBC Did This on Easter; 'Great'

National Review's Jim Geraghty recognized that many Christians would not like the performance because of their quibbles with its theology but noted that it was significant that a major network did this on the Christian holiday.

"I'm sure plenty of Christians will have some theological/doctrinal objections to #JesusChristSuperstarLive... no Resurrection, unless you count the curtain call... but NBC just spent a bundle and recruited big stars to _tell the story of Jesus in prime time on Easter Sunday_," he said. 

NRO columnist David French concurred, tweeting: "Amen. It was great."
