"...DOMA Theatre Company puts a cutting-edge contemporary spin on Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1970 rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, bringing it into the 21st Century world of cell phones and selfie sticks for one of DOMA's most spectacular shows to date."

"...The production team embraced the psychedelic feel of the early 1970's with a smoky rock concert feel, complete with rapid and dramatic light changes (Christina Schwinn), frenetically paced choreography (Angela Todaro) and colorful costumes (Lauren Oppelt). At the same time Director, Marco Gomez, insinuated some pointed modern commentary."

"...Anything one can say about this production can all be expressed in one enthusiastic word; WOW! From the first moment the curtain opens (yes, there is a real red velvet curtain) until the final bow is taken there is non-stop, toe tapping, finger popping, heart pounding action that keeps getting better and better scene after scene."

"...But to bring in it all together the current incarnation of "Jesus Christ Super Star" now onstage at the MET Theatre is one magnificent mind blowing heart pounding extraordinarily brilliant presentation of theatrical magic at its very best. The only negative criticism I have for DOMA, is PLEASE guys, find a larger venue. The shows you produce are at least equal to and often better than anything on Broadway. You and your massive audience deserve more."

"...Wow! What an exciting and powerful production! My only concern is that I won't be able to find the words to convince you that every theatre lover in Los Angeles MUST experience its electrifying magic."

"...What gets served up is, of course, somewhat thinner than the symphonic orchestration we all grew up with on the original concept album, but it manages to evoke those classic sounds while rocking and buzzing on its own, more intimate terms."

"...Fact is that this DOMA production, not without its flaws, will bring an audience of even total strangers to their feet and rightly so."

"...First of all, DOMA Theatre Company's revival of Jesus Christ Superstar, which brings Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's seminal early seventies rock opera back to the live stage, is a great production that rocks. The sonorous score, performed live by a five piece orchestra conducted by musical director/pianist Chris Raymond, with lyrics sung by soloists and a large, gifted ensemble, blows the roof off of Hollywood's MET Theatre. But this two act musical is a feast for the eyes, as well as the ears. Angela Todaro's choreography ranges from the balletic to the Busby Berkeley-ish to the old soft shoe; Lauren Oppelt's costumes run the gamut from modern dress to S&M leather to Warner Bros. 1930s musicals."

"...This is a truly wonderful adaptation of Jesus Christ Superstar. It made me want to revisit all the songs, dust of my vinyl, search Netflix for the movie, and sing "I Don't Know How to Love him" in the car all the way home, much to my husband's chagrin. I highly recommend Jesus Christ Superstar."

"...From the cast to the lighting and the choreography to the musicianship, DOMA's production is top notch. Since DOMA is known for bringing Broadway-level productions to LA audiences, this comes at no surprise. But the level of showmanship that director Marco Gomez and musical director Chris Raymond have contributed to this production makes it more than deserving of applaud."

"...DOMA Theatre Company's new rendition of Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice's 1970's ground-breaking rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar is simply a hit. Slightly modernized to the concept: "What would it be like if Jesus walked around now in a world of Twitter, Facebook & Selfies," it's many parts, Goth, glitter and new wave bohemia including girl groupies, band-aides, army greens and skin cabaret moments amped up the flair and entertainment factor for the audience. It's an exciting, thoroughly accessible take on a classic for Los Angeles small theater and thank you DOMA for that!"

"...I've always enjoyed productions of Jesus Christ Superstar and this staging makes the iconic characters of the Bible seem more real with human needs and issues. This production touches the heart as was evidenced by the rapt attention paid by the audience at the performance I attended."
