SS: That was Jesus' costume in the original, as conceived by John-Michael Tebelak and designed by costume designer Susan Tsu. I never asked whether it was John-Michael's idea or Susan's, but the Superman shirt was always his costume. I've seen many productions since, of course, where he wears other things. But the slightly comic self-awareness of the Superman shirt, plus its colorful nature, still make it seem to me the most successful of the Jesus costumes I've seen.
