On Easter Sunday, 2018, Cooper performed as Herod in NBC’s live performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber ‘s Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert . Reviews were positive, with The New York Times ‘ critic Noel Murray praising “Alice Cooper’s magnificently scenery-chewing performance” as a “startling moment of clarity,” and Lorraine Ali of the Los Angeles Times describing his performance as, “Weird? Yes, but also perfect in a campy, dramatic and evil ‘Billion Dollar Babies’ kind of way. Cooper’s part was small but indelible.” Cooper had previously recorded the song (though not performed it live) in 2000, with the 1996 London revival cast.
