Jesse Green

Which recording?

Now that there have been so many productions.

Yeah, so can we take a detour?

I'm sorry to take a detour here, but it feels like this is one of the most famous, the most famous theater documentary of all time.

Is it perhaps the only?

So this is Original Cast Album Company.

It's D.A.

Pennebaker who worked on a Bob Dylan documentary.

He later worked on The War Room, done a million documentaries.

And it was essentially recording all of these people making the cast recording to company.

Say more because Jesse is making some faces over here.

Can I admit something terrible?

The only version of Jesus Christ Superstar I've ever listened to or heard was the one that NBC did when they were doing live musicals.

With John Legend?

With John Legend, yes.

I'd love to use those as sort of a transition to talk about sort of full performances.

You know, I have a child.

He's a preteen.

And as many kids of his generation, he went through a Hamilton phase.

He streamed the hell out of it on Spotify.
