''Jesus Christ Superstar'' won 5 prizes at the Creative Emmys tonight: Variety Special, Lighting, Production Design, Sound Mixing and Tech Direction.
Legend, Rice and Lloyd Webber were among the show's producers, so they completed their EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).
Neil Meron and the late Craig Zadan, also producers of this telecast, finally won their first Emmy after 14 previous nominations.
''Jesus Christ'' could still win more at the Primetime Emmys next Sunday, where Legend, Sara Bareilles and Brandon Victor Dixon are up for acting.
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul also had a shot at completing their EGOT. They had a Best Song nod ('In the Market for a Miracle,'' ''A Christmas Story''). However, they lost to ''Come Back, Barack,'' a song on ''Saturday Night Live,'' by Chris Redd, Kenan Thompson, Will Stephen and Eli Brueggeman. |
