I highly recommend the dvd for Handel’s Messiah Rocks! It is a great way to interest young people to this great musical piece, it holds true to the original while also being fresh and updated.

I purchased Handel’s Messiah Rocks: A Joyful Noise, and it’s a musical work of art. Something this good doesn’t come along very often. I haven’t been as inspired since seeing Jesus Christ Superstar.as a teenager. It’s classy, professional and engaging. All three stars give it all they’ve got, and they’re amazing. LaChanze shows both a soothing and powerful voice, J. Robert Spencer can belt it out, and MiG Ayesa showcases marvelous vocals along with a sincerity that’s touching. When you combine supremely talented singers and musicians with stunning arrangements, you get special results. The CD is well worth the money. I especially like the DVD, because when you both hear and see the show, you almost feel as though you’re a part of it. The DVD also includes bonus interviews. Handel’s Messiah Rocks will reach people of all ages. It truly does inspire joy. I believe we’ve got another classic in the making.
