"Superstar"

     On Monday, I had the great pleasure of crossing another item off of my Bucket List.  I put in for tickets to go and see the show "Superstar" be filmed live, and was able to take a friend to go and see it.

     It is a British show where they are trying to cast the role of Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar."  It is run exactly like "American Idol," where the contestants sing to get the audiences' votes so they are not eliminated from the competition.  The exception, is they do the elimination in the beginning of the show, and then sing their song to appeal for votes later in the same show.  "American Idol" tends to drag it out for all it is worth (but still interesting).

     It was exciting to be in a live studio audience.  The show is broadcast live, so the energy is intense.  Somehow I ended up in the front row behind the judges.  It was interesting.  I had no idea who any of the British celebrities were, with the exception of the main judge, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.  That was something to see him up close.

     I am so happy that I have been as fortunate as I have been, to experience the opportunities I have had here.  It will be sad to see it come to an end.
