Changes Coming: French producers of the $24-million traveling production “Jesus Was His Name” have agreed to make changes in the show for performances at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. The show, which was to have opened there Wednesday, was postponed when religious leaders complained that it was anti-Semitic. The stand will now open on Saturday with a noon performance, the Music Hall said in a statement. No details were disclosed about specific changes. Critics had been particularly upset about scenes in which Jewish temple priests appear in Darth Vader-style death masks, emitting hissing noises.
