Information published about the show by London Palladium included further warnings of ‘imitation blood’ and ‘some violence’
Fan Gerald Dixon told The Sun: “What next? A warning that the hit musical includes catchy tunes?

“This nonsense is enough to make anyone utter the Lord’s name in vain.”

    Nonsense!? I found Jesus Christ Superstar to be quite theologically sound. My Catholic grandmother agrees.

      The random person on the street that a paper interviewed said that the content warnings were nonsense, not that a warning says that the show is nonsense.

        A warning saying the show is nonsense would be reasonable. In my opinion, religion, or anything else that requires belief in something despite contradictory evidence is, by definition, nonsense.

          The show is pretty blatant in the stance that Jesus was just a normal (non-magical, not a god) human philosopher who was a little mentally unwell, and how he started to believe the tall tales that other people were telling about him.
