To me, it's as "immersive" a show can be without perhaps literally being that. In other words, I think it needs an audience, and doesn't translate well to film. It's a show about community, and the audience is part of that. Plus the film replaced the Prologue with that odd series of people "seeing Jesus" in sometimes very gimmicky ways - like through the light of an old Xerox machine. I haven't seen the film in years, but remember it not being nearly as satisfying as the stage show.
The film, however, did introduce "Beautiful City" (in a very 1970's style uptempo version) - which has since become a part of the stage show. |
