Thank God Superstar

Thank God Superstar is the fifty-third episode of Off Book: the Improvised Musical, and the first episode of year two. It features guest artist Bryan Safi from the podcast Throwing Shade. Although originally pitched as a cross between Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar, the musical actually follows competitors and judges in a televised music competition judged by God (via the Pope).
== Episode Description ==
The insanely hilarious Bryan Safi (Throwing Shade) joins Jess and Zach for the quickest conceived musical to date! If you ever wanted to hear a rock musical about a talent competition reality show, One Direction-esque kid contestants, "Oasis," the Pope, and more, this is the show for you! With songs like "Dear Lord," "When's The Worst Time For Divorce" and "Ghost Coconut," you'll definitely be using one of these tunes for your own singing competition audition!
