Mel C interpretation of Mary Magadelen was exceptional to include the subtle symbolic ways she interprets Mary's change of direction in her life. This score always bring a tear to my eye. Mel C manages to draw you in to the pain and conflict of the character in a natural and subtle way. Never it and never over playing it just SPOT ON. What a natural talent.

[@askabluejay4932]

Yes!! It's such a crime that there's no studio recording for this tour

[@sunflower51]

One of the best musical songs ever

[@julz3tt3]

Yes it is This whole production has legendary songs. I loved the 70s film adaptation. This is extremely good though. The emotion in the harmonies are beautiful.

[@vernestamackey1994]

Love It.

I like that they also pan to Tim Minchin in this song just to show how guilt-ridden and sorry he is for the betrayal

I’ve heard better vocally but never heard anyone grasp the emotional lyrics half as well as Mel. She’s a wonderful talent

[@Jenzzyuk]

You can really hear the Emotions in Mel and Michael’s voices as they sing this song 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@normadom]

Indeed. Despair and hopelessness came to bear as Judas' betrayal of Christ culminated in his eventual arrest. It was sorrow too much to bear. Clearly, the pain was palpable in their voices.

[@julz3tt3]

This is a fantastic song and a humanistic point of view. Jesus was crucified and Mary and Peter don't know what to do or say. "I think you've made your point now" ...very strong. Their asking the Saviour to call a truce and let everything just be as it was....but it cant be.

[@richieadam2234]

It makes me cry this song ,for several reasons, and Tim Rice and Lloyd Webber are geniuses!!!!

This is my absolute favorite song. It's about a sincere request for repentance.

[@avrilartepuente1705]

Melanie C is simply amazing...this one is definitely my fave song.

[@chasetheskies]

Definitely my favourite song too, Mel c shows critics so wrong that she can't sing, plus Peter actor has great voice & is handsome man!!

[@perthpete7906]

I never ever thought I would like ANY of the Spice girls, but all have shown their talents. They have also become even more attractive with age. The exception is of course Victoria.

[@CharcoalLord]

God bless you for posting clips of Arena Tour... Also Mel C is absolutely stunning in the role of Mary Magdalene, I love her and this entire production so much!

[@CharcoalLord]

And Could We Start Again is a hella powerful song, it would’ve been even better if more productions of JCS had Judas in it (as Broadway 2012 with Paul Nolan, Josh Young and Chilina Kennedy did)

[@obiwankenobi9141]

Umm… no she is not. She’s a weak singer and a worse actor.

Too often the role of Peter is just overlooked or cast horribly... this is the best I've seen yet. The 2000 movie was pretty atrocious in every way EXCEPT for this song, because they also used a baritone for Peter.

@@troyandrew9702 it's the best overall, but this song ("Could we start again, please?") is completely unmemorable from the 1973 movie. I didn't like the Peter in that version at all.

[@drzal8553]

To each his own. Every Easter I watch all the versions of this song on YT and, while I have my favorite (the 2000 version), I've never seen/heard a bad production of it. There's no such thing as an "atrocious" version of JCSS.

[@dillonohlemiller9027]

I think the streamings are over because things are going back to normal

[@gersomvanslooten9456]

I used to wonder why they repeated the same lyrics over and over. Now I think the idea of this song was to represent a desperate prayer which the characters repeat over and over to deal with the reality they're facing.

[@russelltofts7233]

Tim Rice did add a couple more verses for the twentieth anniversary tour in about 1990, but these two extra verses have hardly been heard since, which is a shame. If I were directing a production, I would certainly use them if I could. For the record these two extra verses are:- Wish I could reassure you, Wish I could talk to you and tell you how I feel, This was unexpected, what do I do now? Could we start again please. You surely know I love you, But something in me stands aside and lets you slip away, Perhaps that's what you wanted, perhaps I want that too, Oh could we start again please.
