NBC’s “Jesus Christ Superstar” live won an Emmy Award Sunday and that made super star John Legend who portrayed Jesus Christ, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice a part of the elite squad of EGOT winners.
The musical won for best live variety special and added Emmy to Legend, Lloyd Webber and Rice to their Tonys, Grammys and Oscars — the four biggest prizes in show business.
NBC will air the main Emmys Ceremony on September 17.
