Agree. And loved the way he slipped into full Alice Cooper "snarls" in the last verse. A great performance.

I cracked up so hard when I was in confirmation class and found out that this encounter is Bible canon - Herod wanting Jesus to perform a miracle and pouting when he didn't get one.

There is an interview out there and Alice talks about who King Herod was egotistical paranoid puppet... and that helped him figure out how to play the role. Alice being a bible scholar and devout Christian helped....

Personally, I can't imagine a world without Alice Cooper in it. The man can do no wrong! I've followed his career for as long as I can remember. So when I found out he was going to play King Herod in my favourite musical, I couldn't wait to see it. As usual, he didn't disappoint. But I have to admit, when he said "WOW", I fell in love with him all over again! I honestly believe there's nothing this talented man can't do. Long live Alice!!

When I first saw this rendition of JCS, I wasn't really a fan of Alice Cooper. But now that I am and I've seen what he can do, I love this version and how Alice puts his own spin on Herod. He's a born showman. (I also think it's really weird to see John Legend play Jesus.)

I never heard that Alice Cooper did this role! My appreciation is immeasurable, and my day is made.

I have watched this multiple times and I notice something different with each viewing. The costumer did a fantastic job with the outfit, I LOVE how his facial expressions change from curious, to demanding to fury to go in line with the lyrics. I've watched other versions of King Herrod's song, and by far, this one by Alice Cooper is the best. He really embraces the character and makes it something special.

Being that he is a Christian, and bible scholar, I am certain his insight and understanding of Harod enhanced his character development for his portrayal... afterall, he is a learned and experienced live theatrical performer.

Amazing performance! He's still got it after all these years.

Alice Cooper is ageless and amazing and great musician !

This was a SUPERB show !!! This was the best part for Alice. He did it excellently, as we knew he would. His standing “O” as he perused the crowd after the song was unreal !!!

Can we talk about the girl that caught the mic because getting your hand exactly under his to catch it, and not letting it bounce/roll off? Amazing

The best Herod by far. And honestly as much success as Alice Cooper has had over the decades, it feels like he missed his calling filling certain niche villain-esque roles on Broadway. He absolutely crushes Herod.

one of my favourite villain songs and Cooper absolutely kills it what a legend!

This was my introduction to the show, so imagine my reaction to Alice Cooper wondering out and singing a jaunty show tune about the Lord.

Alice Cooper and John Legend. Icons

Can we take a moment to appreciate the dancers. Big fan of @Shelbyfinnie, a true Broadway Baby!

That was awesome! I got to meet Barry Dennen, who played Pilate in the movie but was playing Herod on a touring show. My friends and I actually went back the night after we saw the show because somehow we missed he was in it. He was so gracious and thrilled that not only did we come back just to meet him, but we knew his other works like The Shining and The Dark Crystal. I had brought my copy of Kentucky Friend Movie for him to autograph. It had just come out on DVD a few weeks before.

I could not imagine Alice Cooper as King Herod. I never thought he would sing like that but he is fucking cool! Very good singing with very good acting. I love it.

Wow, didn't know Alice did this, was watching the news when Julian Clarey talked about his performance, so I had to have a look. Thought it was fab, enjoy your shows Alice. 😃

I don't recall the name of the actor who did Herod in the L.A. production back in 1972, which I saw, but he was fantastic. Cooper does a magnificent characterization here, I only wish that he had been choreographed, maybe a bit of dancing interplay with the ladies. It was just too static, and I found that to be true of this whole production. Some of the singing was great, but the stage direction was so stiff. I saw Ted Neely in his prime, more than once. Those productions were energetic, emotional and a joy to watch. This one, had you just listened and not watched the screen would have come across no differently. Could have been so much more.

killed it. Yes Alice, you are king

The fascinating thing about this performance is that he decided to play it straight. Genius. His whole professional life, he's been so over the top, that it's far more effective for him to just come in and play it like the cranky Godfather of rock n roll.

Brilliant performance.

Alice during an interview said that he doesn't understand why they never let him play the title role! 🤣

He ad-libbed "Hello, Jerusalem! I am your King!" but I loved it.
