When did you first get to see it?

I first went to see it in 1973. I was hooked and went every Friday night for eight weeks in a row. After seeing it 4 times my boyfriend would not go again and told me if I wanted to see it again I had to go with other friends. Ok, I did. I bought the soundtrack to the play the same year and still to this day have that album. When it came out on VHS I bought it and wore out 2 copies of it. I now own it on DVD and will not play it for fear of scratching it so I watch it on Netflix every few months. It is to this day my all time favorite movie. I never had the opportunity to go see the stage play which is very disappointing to me.

I can't even pick a favorite scene. Maybe "What's The Buzz" in the cave. Jesus and Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane. Of course the scene with Pilot and subsequent flogging. I cried so hard.

My least favorite scene was King Herod. What a putz.

Christina, Thanks for the Thread.

My best friend in the 6th & 7th grades ('70-'72) had the Broadway Original Cast album, and we listened to and sang along with it in her room for hours on end. Then, when the movie came out, I saw it in the theater with my other best friend (along with a movie called "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" which, at the time, I thought was kinda weird). I bought the movie soundtrack album soon after, and listened to it incessantly -- memorized every word and still remember all of it to this day. Even though I have a few small issues with it, theologically (as a Christian), I nevertheless LOVE this movie!
