Jesus may be pretty fly for a white guy, but some argue that the best reason to see Jesus Christ Superstar is the flygirls, the troupe of seven hot-to-trot female dancers who really spice things up throughout the show with their sexy moves and even sexier costumes. They are like the fabled "cherry on top" of an already tasty treat of a show: they sing, they dance (do they ever!), at times they even kickbox, and they do it all in crop-tops and hip-huggers. The flygirls are a "character" or "presence" in the show as much...

...seem to come in pairs--a fascinating and, surprisingly enough, beneficial twist. For instance, the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync (add in 98o, Boyzone, Five, etc.), Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears... Without the opposition, each type of act would grate on us--like the Spice Girls who quickly dissolved when we tired of their singular prissiness. Having a popular nemesis who takes away your market share (though I'm pretty sure, contrary to what record execs think, that most Backstreet Boys fans hide N'Sync albums in their closet and vice versa) drives an artist...
