Journey to Bethlehem
It’s a “Jesus Christ Superstar” rom/com prequel in this musical telling about the meeting & uniting of Mary & Joseph, the travels of the 3 wise men, & the relationship of King Herod & his son. I️ would never have dreamed of this imaginative take on the Mary/Joseph/Jesus story played with song & dance along with this sense of humor. The goal here was to mold the age old familiar story into a more entertaining tasty bite for today’s movie audiences. The musical numbers are wonderful. The visuals are great with attention to details. This is a terrific family film due to open early November ready for the holiday season.
Alien gives it 3 “donkey” stars out of 4.
