NBC aired its latest live concert broadcast, "Jesus Christ Superstar Live," on Sunday, featuring John Legend as Jesus and Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene.

The show, an adaptation of the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, started off on a high note with a orchestral opening and a song from Brandon Victor as Judas Iscariot.

While social media enjoyed the opening, they couldn't help but notice the punk rock themed costumers all the dancers and performers were wearing.

"Glad the True Blood wardrobe dept is getting work again. I feel like I'm back at Fangtasia!" Brian Fass wrote.

"It looks like the #JesusChristSuperstar costume department just raided .@adamlambert 's closet and I think that's beautiful," one user wrote.

"So is this leather vest dude is Judas right? That's how #JesusChristSuperstar works right," another viewer tweeted.

"Jesus is apparently a fan of Yeezy? That's what I'm taking away from the wardrobe," Adan Garcia tweeted.

"Was there a sale on deep v tees?" Tara Swanson wrote, pointing out the deep-v t-shirt Legend wore throughout the opening scene.

"I feel like I'm watching a dystopian musical instead of #JesusChristSuperstar but I think the theme and costumes are amazing," Kathleen Meyer wrote.

"These costumes...I like that Jesus's disciples are futuristic henchmen from the matrix. Jews have never looked so badass," Jolene Masone tweeted.

"Based on costumes, I can only assume this is the Space Dystopia x Jesus crossover I've been waiting for all my life," a user wrote.
