AD/BC: A Rock Opera

If you are a fan of Ayoade, Fielding or Berry this is a must watch. It has all the absurd silliness of Mighty Boosh or Garth Marenghi's Dark Place but in a musical. Matt Berry takes on the lead acting and singing role, and does so very well. Playing it sincerely even as he says, or sings the most ridiculous lines.

Richard Ayoade in addition to writing and directing plays one of the most unhinged over the top roles of his career.

The whole production constantly lampoons Jesus Christ Superstar and 70's cheese in general.

A bit disappointed that Noel Fielding and Rich Fulcher are basically extras. But you get Matt Lucas as god and Julian Barrat as Tony Iscariot (a kind of Herod-like role).

On the downside, it's not very long and the overdubbed voices joke wears thin after ten minutes. But it's still essential for any fan of Boosh, IT Crowd or Snuff Box.
