Heaven On Their Minds - Jesus Christ Superstar

Amstetten, Austria 2005. Drew Sarich as Judas.
Drew is currently the lead in Vienna production of Rudolf.

[@djdrocco]

The most effortless, passionate, sincere, and relatable Judas I've heard. This guy is incredible.

[@snowbunny9034]

Agreed.

[@asensicule]

Listen Camilo sexto, Namaste

[@djdrocco]

@@asensicule Thanks for the recommendation! He's definitely good, but his performance leans heavily on stylization over virtuosity. Seven years later, I'm still convinced this guy is the definitive Judas.

[@dariuszmartyniak6199]

This guy was born to play Judas.. He has such amazing possibilities to become a greates musiacal singer of all time.

[@apomerakomemeraki7807]

Ι can sing this waaaay better 😁😁😁

[@Sedraen]

1:51 That's the best that line has ever been sung. The note choice he made on "But every word you say today" fits even better than the original run.

[@TheGunnCat]

The gold standard for this musical is not the album, but the movie version. Carl Anderson is peerless. But this singer Drew sounds amazing, and it's the only other Judas I've liked.

[@the.youtube.of.sam.gotter]

There is so.ething to be said for the way the album version starts off restrained and gradually gets more and more desperate

[@Brettah31]

He makes it sound so bloody easy...

[@HansLanda7]

This is fucking rad. To me, his end of verse choices to alter the melodies ("it was beautiful but NOW it's sour") are some of the coolest parts of this. No one else sings those lines that way.

[@Phasmania]

My favorite change is the high note at the end of “Yes it’s all, GONE SOOOUR”

[@shopkins11]

I've played Judas, in three different productions, to a fair amount of acclaim but this guy makes me look like an amatuer. The best Judas I think I've ever heard. WOW!

[@valkyeerios]

OMG Drew's Mom is my french teacher! Haha, he's pretty amazing.

[@EPrimeify]

In Missouri?

[@davidmoye]

i LOVE the orchestration of this version

[@AshleyRoseSmith]

When I grow up, I want to be Drew Sarich. He's so good!

[@Marz2727]

It's so frustrating that there are no renditions even close to this good on Spotify

[@NichtOliver]

I just LOVE the tone to this guy's voice. I've grown up listening to Carl and more recently Jerome Pradon; this guy has them all beat in my book.

[@Avpsfan210]

By far my favorite Judas. Drew Sarich is one of the most talented actors/singers imo.

[@dismukology]

The best version of this.

[@AlfieDeyes]

soooo good. hes an amazing singer!!! 5/5 i would love to see this performace

[@dmg3736]

Hey Alfie ahahah

[@TommyKnox]

I'm with you...I don't know why you would get any thumbs down...Carl Anderson is irreplacable as judas...the passion in his voice was unreal...I will say Drew Sarich is the 2nd best Judas...he's really good...but Carl is a legend

[@laurax4760]

Drew Sarich is just awesome. Even though I love him in all of his roles, Jesus and Judas just fit perfectly to him. So excited to see him as Jesus in april!!!

[@kateermacora1628]

I think Drew Sarich is a really good singer and actor. I hope he is still working in musicals as he is really talented.

[@1Drakorn]

He is, however in German speaking countries ;) He currently plays Rocky in Hamburg and just played Jesus in Vienna!

[@lauramolnar1890]

Kate Ermacora he's coming back to vienna to play jesus in jcs again in april :)

[@marlenekenda6964]

Kate Ermacora And he will play the count in Dance of the Vampires again in Vienna :) ! Now he is doing Vivaldi (new musical).

[@lauramolnar1890]

yes! i watched vivaldi on friday and he was just awesome, it was really touching. weekend in vienna for tanz der vampire already booked! :)

[@marlenekenda6964]

Laura Molnar Wow! I will watch it at the derniere :) ! And the Vampires as well, of course haha.

[@spacecase7566]

This was a great rendition!

[@MJNAD]

Brilliant. The man is brilliant.

[@tiffanycarbino2412]

As if there was any doubt in my mind before that Drew is absolutely amazing... he killed it.

[@MissCatbone]

Drew Sarich is the very BEST!!!! No one is better....:) So that's what I call voice!!!! This rock tone in his is so great.... I am so impressed...everyday when I hear him sing, I melt away....Love is in the air

[@kadiedid05]

This is how Judas should sound! Drew is AMAZING! THE BEST in my book!

[@babatu6717]

Awesome singing of an already awesome piece of music! And the acting is also high. Thank you for this!

[@tuxtommy69]

Fantastic! Absolutely the best rendition of this song I have ever heard!

[@bruxyk]

One of my favorite I interpretations of Judas! Thehe way Drew personalizes certain parts is just amazing... 💖 Right up there with Carl Anderson and Murray Head.

[@theOstenHugo]

The best performance of Judas vocally x acting , hands down!

[@VladimirObrizan]

The best cover on "Heavens" I ever heard.

[@jimarata]

Jesus looks like white belt karate student. :) This performance has something to it that makes it enjoyable.

[@TheAmericanIdol]

DREW SARICH is everything!!! Take notes.

[@botaeriksson]

He´s just simply amazing! The best version I´ve ever heard!

[@yaywhewclips242]

EPIC!! Amazing voice.

[@deanscott6904]

the last minute of this... you'll never hear it done better

[@wildmanmw1]

Great voice and powerful lungs! I'm still partial to Carl's version but this is a very close second.

[@fatimanna2]

My mind is clearer now: great arrangements and amazing voice. I love it.

[@Tom6093]

See ? Every once in a while, a singer takes an awesome song, and turns it into his/her own. Drew did with To much heaven.

[@DAVID24601]

This man just rocks! From musicals in english to german. He is so unique. He goes from Les MIs to Lestat to JCS to various shows in Germany! He rocks!! I am a huge fan.

[@ogphantom15]

Drew is awesome!! love his pation and understang in all he doses

[@happybirthdaypaulie8584]

wow...i have seen this performed 4 times, and this is the best live performance of this song i have ever heard. great job

[@RiesenWuschel]

I love Drew not only cuz he's a great singer- i dare say most of the musical-stars r great singer, even though they show that they're still human from time to time- but also cuz he's a wonderful actor. I've never seen him live so far but i've watched every vid i could get and enjoyed his genuine mimics and gestics and i love them. U never grow tired of watching him, especially if he's illustrating the feelings in his songs... T.T I WANT TO WATCH HIM LIVE!!!

[@mithramusic5909]

Wow, I really like his take on the song! I'm so used to the movie soundtrack so I generally prefer a little bit more growl or scream to the song, but by presenting his own take on the song and showing off a great range this actor definitely wins my approval.

[@macedo5]

wwuaaauuuu this guy is fantastic!!!!!Terrific!!!!

[@solitairevoice]

are you kidding me? this is the best Judas Ive ever seen

[@leciga28]

This is amazing... I like this portrayal of Judas... I love it when I watch someone perform a song so famous in such a different and amazing way... It's refreshing

[@GuymelefSang]

I totally agree with you; the new arrangement of the music with the contemporary interpretation of the vocals just makes for an amazing production

[@nssoh1234]

Amazing.

[@jethyy]

I love this version, so much emotion and power.

[@mike1600]

Best version. I love this video so much!

[@TheFluffehPika]

I absolutely adore Drew Sarich.

[@lyndalholdsworth9183]

Stunning performance 🙌 goosebumps ✨✨

[@OzzieFRESH]

i love Drew Sarich so damn much!

[@UltraMagnus3786]

Dude killed it. Or should I say--crucified it?

[@JL-xv9di]

I hate it. Now shut up and take my upvote. :-p

[@wevetra13]

Thank you so much for posting this...

[@broadwaybabe99]

drew is the best best best best best Judas. no one can ever top his voice. omg. hes my hero.

[@amy3chico3]

There is no telling how my joy should be expressed in English. This is wonderful performance.

[@kneecole24]

wow - drew sarich is mind-blowing

[@Silivrina]

Actually, Drew's range is unbelievable and the ways in which he can use his voice are unique. He was even nicknamed "The voice" by his collegues in Austria. :) Also, does the high note at the very end sound like a screaming part to you? :)

[@Leon-px9wt]

We call him Nasenbär bc hes singing extremly nasal what sounds awful

[@room-oe9zo]

:55 an incredible variation and he nails every damn note. Insane!

[@Chrisings79]

Best "Heaven" I've ever seen.

[@MU90CPP]

What an awesome performance! It's blowing my mind. The strings setting in at 2:30 are making me shiver.

[@wevetra13]

This is a wonderful version of ths song...still relavant after all these years!

[@kingconfusion3488]

I've never heard this version before. I'm not crazy about some of his phrasing but he definitely has the right mix of singing and acting. Great voice!

[@fliedlice101]

This guy is great!

[@slaalla]

Love it!

[@piedii]

...just fantastic

[@ecp2014]

One of the great things about Superstar is how much the bass guitar gets to play around - listen around 1:10

[@relentless]

This singer NAILED IT! Great job. Glad I clicked on!!!

[@Phasmania]

My 2nd favorite rendition of this song behind Carl Anderson, which is impressive cause there are some phenomenal Judases out there. I’ll never get over the high note at 3:34

[@nthdegree1269]

this guy is good. I really like him second to Carl and Murray. Carl had something that no other Judas had though. Listen to his version. He has rhythm and soul. Good example of Carls emotion is "every word you say today gets twisted around some other way" and "nazareths favourite son". Carl doesn't sing it, he "emotions" it. One thing that I give this guy credit for. He is a damn good actor and has presence for it. Good job.

[@Valkyrieinden]

The absolute best version of this song. Drew sings fantastically.

[@micvia75]

Quando ho sentito la prima volta questa versione ho pensato fosse pazzo a cambiare l'originale; mi ha dapprima allibita, incuriosita, poi emozionata. Sono passata ai vari pezzi disponibili su you tube fino ad arrivare a I only want to say e mi ha di nuovo incuriosita, poi emozionata, e infine conquistata. Che meraviglia!!!

[@ecp2014]

Not only are these vocals amazing, but the orchestration is incredibly intense - new string parts etc.

[@f15r18]

One word: Amazing!

[@RiesenWuschel]

Drew!!! Seen him in Rudolf and i couldn't believe he was american when i found out about his name... his german's so good... o.o And he's an unbelievable singer and actor... ^^

[@brie1117]

Drew Sarich is friggin awesome!!! I never have ever heard such pipes on a dude before! Go Judas!

[@steph743]

i just watched a video of drew sarich singing this very song in a JCS production 10 years ago and he is so much better than he was then. its amazing and extremely humbling that even drew sarich is still learning and growing and it makes me respect him a thousand times more. he's incredible.

[@LadyArmand2]

Love Drew!

[@natvach]

AMAZING.

[@Masquerade2010]

chills. chills chills chills chills chills. and an incapability of forming any sort of coherent sentence. that's what results from this performance.

[@Silivrina]

Hello. Drew is currently playing the title role in the Vienna production of Rudolf. I'd say it's pretty close to Danmark :)

[@Laselly]

For the first time i see that someone is making his own version of this song. Amazing...but still i love Carl Anderson :P

[@blackusdogus]

Brilliant!!

[@michaelannco]

How can someone dislike this.. seriously.

[@defonze]

great band too funky and poppy

[@SwissArmyCheese]

Truly, one of my favorites.

[@gtabest4]

best version ever this is soo cool

[@TheDeadmanstrolling]

Is it just me, or does it look like that while Judas is singing this, Jesus is fasting in the desert? In the Bible, this is when the Devil comes to Jesus to question His divinity and tempt Him into abusing His powers for selfish gain. And here we might have Judas signing directly to Jesus' ear as He fasts in the desert, about Jesus going down the wrong path. Brilliant!

[@AdventCloudStrife]

This video absolutely WREAKS.....of WIN!!! This is amazing. It seems like a whole different song the way he sings it, but in a good way.

[@steph743]

drew sarich is my idol. i love him!!

[@shanice2113]

so nice.

[@RoderikR]

A really fresh and original approach to this song!

[@GJR1975]

Wow!!! What a voice!!! A really origanal interpretation aswell. If I was a singer this is what id want to sound like!!!!!!

[@xXBeeBeeXx]

it sounds so much better then the orignal. i dont understand how people say that the orignal is better then what drew's done with it. i think this is the best version.

[@Silivrina]

Hey! This production is from Amstetten, Austria 2005. I'm glad that you like it :)

[@Pzyco90]

It's a good performances...and Sarich has a very beautiful voice!

[@erazer18]

AMAZING judas- also, he's pretty cute!

[@omgoneleven]

HOOOOOOOOOLY shiznit. +++favorite favorite!!

[@albertalma]

very good...it's the performance than i was finding..perfect sing in his voice.

[@ViluSeries]

Pure talent

[@flautist15]

perfection.

[@EndlessRevisions]

His performance is stunning!

[@dizzygirlx3]

Carl Anderson is beeter But, God, do I love Drew's voice. I think he'd be a great Jesus, really. Amazing range.
