Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s 1970 rock opera about the last days of the Messiah’s life is hitting primetime on Easter Sunday. Before the musical blessing begins, take a seat at the communal table, break bread, and enjoy these seven divine performances from the stars of the show — John Legend, Sara Bareilles, Alice Cooper, and Brandon Victor Dixon — that are all religious experiences on their own.
