[@cesarpimenta2008]

What a singer and actor Judas is!

[@itswherethecomedycomesin8864]

Drew Sarich

[@jakeqwaninne8502]

you gotta be kidding, is he a relative or something,lol

[@ivycutler1907]

Excellent singing and acting!! Judas, Pilate and Jesus were very good. Herod was hilarious. Caiphas and his men were awesome as well.. Wonderful show.🌹

[@ColtraneAndRain]

This Mary made the role her own! Tired of seeing the Yvonne Ellaman copies! I really liked her and I LOVED this production! Bravo!

[@IMredesMMIX]

Wow, just wow... I searched for over 6 years for this... I thought nobody had recorded the full score... I'm crying now, 2 years after I gave up... drew sarich fired my heart when I was just 15.

[@Suedetussy]

I‘m so happy for you, because i know how it feels to find something that one has already given up. 😄

[@callioperose0]

Just in case anyone is wondering, Judas is potrayed by Drew Sarich in this production. Absolutely amazing performer

[@aihsjabsuans6569]

First saw the JSC when I was a student in 1973, what a great masterpiece of Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice. It's ageless. Hope every generation to come can enjoy this. Long live rocknroll !!!!

[@FilipeGeyerVocalStudio]

This is the ONLY version of this show with REAL singers, who happen to be great actors too. GREAT musical direction. Stage too. All the very best. I would like to see a HD version of this.

[@ingridka.8406]

Wow, Judas really HAS AN AMAZING VOICE here! I'm so pleased to hear it!

[@MM-jm6do]

My favorite moment is absolutely when the pharisee intensely walks towards/chases Judas with the fan :O

[@maggienewson8859]

Even with an average-not-great Jesus, this is far and beyond my favorite production - the staging and chorus are amazing, and DREW SARICH AS JUDAS!!! He takes the whole thing from “great” to “transcendent”. Also just aesthetically my favorite treatment of “Superstar” the song. Just overwhelmingly wonderful.

[@alyrios]

It is always interesting to see the different ways this musical is put on the stage in different countries.

[@Simsonsimsons]

the best version ever. There fit all together, amazing Choreo, fantastic actors (esp. Judas, Pon.Pil., Jesus, Herodes), super musicans, the stage very very great. This version is the best I have had seen from Andrew L. Webber Musicals.

[@Kwanglebeh]

Sorry,but the best version was the Australian production.1974.

[@carmenkaren5980]

The best was the 2012 rock arena version. The guys here sadly changed the score from time to time. No pitch whatsoever...

[@indigocheetah4172]

@@Kwanglebeh, was that in Melbourne .

[@Kwanglebeh]

@@indigocheetah4172 Yup,Melbourne

[@Elena-de3qn]

No, this is a bad version. Badly sung and badly played. Only the actor playing Pilate is really good. The singer of Jesus ruined “Gethsemane”; he couldn't reach the high notes. The 2012 JCS Arena Tour was impressive. Ben Forster as Jesus and Tim Minchin as Judas - simply incredible! Ben Forster sang the best “Gethsemane” I’ve ever heard! This is what “Gethsemane” must sound like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJK4pYZ7Z96KmZo

[@felicitygilbert6102]

In my opinion, Judas was really the star of this show.

[@pjangels609]

That is what Weber and Rice were trying to convey, Judas' perspective.

[@celineduburganchen4275]

Judas Superstar ♥

[@Nilsengard]

Isso é verdade. Judas é foda!!!

[@dtmjax5612]

Felicity Gilbert It was the most coveted character to play with arguably the most memorable numbers to perform.

[@joleharding5148]

It’s the more vocally demanding part for sure...

[@cherokeegrandma4135]

I’ve never seen this version before!! I LOVE IT!! Judas stold the show 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Monkofmagnesia]

I loved the Overture. It is the only version of this rock opera in which I've seen Jesus dance!

[@gypsyblack5994]

This Jesus is a very good dancer but a lousy singer imo...

[@gregorybanks7554]

The actor playing Judas has an amazing voice. When he hit that note on "Everything's Alright" I was amazed. The note was perfect!!

[@emdophhd9835]

The actor is Drew Sarich. There is a video on youtube of him singing Gethsemane and it is heaven (excuse the pun) :)

[@emdophhd9835]

***** I know I Have been eyeing the album down but i don't have enough money on itunes. Its a shame his Poor Jerusalem is beautiful as is the rest of the album. With todays technology they should just make an album with Drew Playing both parts

[@gustave2947]

14:20

[@minawannabe4231]

Emdoph HD AMEN I need Drew Sarich as Jesus and Judas and I need it now

[@tobiasz_jaszczur]

when i found out that drew sarich played in one of the versions i had to find it and luckily it's on here i'm so happy!!!

[@em8842]

Pilate was awesome. Judas was epic. I love this production!

[@azi_vasey9106]

Judas' death made my jaw drop to the floor...holy shit 😱

[@gabrielepresby9120]

Best could we start again. The harmonies are superb.

[@donnawilburn4981]

I wish a DVD of this outstanding performance!!!

[@gabrielenriquehurtadovacca1085]

This is the best performance of I don't know how to love him, direction, scenic design and Herod's song since Yvonne Ellimann and the original production!

[@vroniiw8552]

Judas *_* Drew Sarich is the best singer on this world! He's just brilliant and his voice is out of this world!

[@bodhilogan3822]

There are a lot of people not happy with this Jesus but this production as a whole is the best ever put on stage and the ensemble is incredible that I just can't see weakness!

[@volatilemolotov667]

drew sarich’s judas on stage as a character is very different. i liked how he was very vulnerable for more of the show (this can be seen in hosanna specifically). he seems to care a lot for jesus and that’s why it’s such a contrast to see him making fun of jesus in superstar. i think he’s great as an actor, from his decision to always watch and follow jesus to his obvious vocal talent. i could literally almost sink my teeth into some of his notes. fantastic, my favorite judas ever.

[@jakeqwaninne8502]

yes but judas is of the mind that jesus is wrong,, and is the accuser, he is suposed to be arrogant and beligerant,,, besides he's been kind of taken over and manipulated to help manifest the end result,, so he isn't suposed to be vulneraable

[@josephserrado7039]

Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine. Don't disturb me now, I can see the answers 'Till this evening is this morning, life is fine. Always hoped that I'd be an apostle. Knew that I would make it if I tried. Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels, So they'll still talk about us when we've died. JESUS The end... is just a little harder, when brought about by friends. For all you care, this wine could be my blood. For all you care, this bread could be my body. The end! This is my blood you drink. This is my body you eat. If you would remember me when you eat and drink. I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered. Yes, I must be out of my head. Look at your blank faces. My name will mean nothing Ten minutes after I'm dead. One of you denies me. One of you betrays me. APOSTLES No! Who would?! Impossible! JESUS Peter will deny my in just a few hours. Three times will deny me, And that's not all I see. One of you here dining, One of my twelve chosen Will leave to betray me. JUDAS Cut the dramatics! You know very well who. JESUS Why don't you go do it? JUDAS You want me to do it! JESUS Hurry, they are waiting. JUDAS If you knew why I do it JESUS I don't care why you do it! JUDAS To think I admired you. Well now I despise you. JESUS You liar. You Judas. JUDAS You want me to do it! What if I just stayed here And ruined your ambition. Christ you deserve it. JESUS Hurry, you fool. Hurry and go. Save me your speeches, I don't want to know. Go! APOSTLES Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine. What's that in the bread? It's gone to my head, 'Till this morning is this evening, life is fine. Always hoped that I'd be an apostle. Knew that I would make it if I tried. Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels, So they'll all talk about us when we've died. JUDAS You sad, pathetic man, see where you've brought us to, Our ideals die around us and all because of you. But the saddest cut of all: Someone has to turn you in. Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal. A jaded mandarin, A jaded mandarin, Like a jaded, faded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin. JESUS Get out they're waiting! Get out! They're waiting, Oh, they are waiting for you! JUDAS Every time I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand. You'd have managed better if you had it planned... Oh... APOSTLES Always hoped that I'd be an apostle. Knew that I would make it if I tried. Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels, So they'll still talk about us when we've died.

[@LadyVader33]

22:35-23:35 for some reason, this is the only production where I get an actual sense Judas and Jesus genuinely have a close friendship

[@TwatMcGee]

Check out the swedish one, they kiss!

[@LadyVader33]

Judas, Pilate, and Herod are my favorite performances here

[@tito.85]

Fue en 1993 que conocí y fui parte de esta extraordinaria obra teatral, la última vez que lo hice fue en el 2002. Ahora veo está versión del 2005 y me encantó. Saludos desde Perú

[@DexterousDiggs]

That Judas was top shelf!

[@dustinsemore7400]

Drew Sarich is about as good as it gets.

[@ricardoagila3115]

If he didn't betrayed Christ, Judas would've been a cool apostle.

[@JavertRA]

Well he still was I guess is the principle message here - he feels what he does is necessary (ironically for the same reason as Caiaphas "for the sake of the nation") and is chewed up with guilt after because even if it was God's will and for the greater good, he has still betrayed a friend and a good man to death.

[@Ilma1984]

before I even saw who played Judas here, I knew from the comments that it must have been Drew. He's incredible! I like him even better as Jesus.

[@melindayang4718]

I love this production! I was expecting the cast to sing in Austrian, not English. Wasn't expecting such great dancing.

[@Suedetussy]

If there’s a thing that Austria can do, it’s delivering in music. This country has such a tradition when it comes to arts and culture. 😍

[@chichizzz]

@@Suedetussy the composers of jcs are actually british !

[@TinyShinyUnique]

After years of listening to this version, I learned to really appreciate the actor playing Jesus. He is great really and is a great partner to Drew's Judas. Also oh God, but the Orchestra and Assemble are top-notch as well. Just. The Austrians did an amazing job with this version and interpretation. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.

[@Kwanglebeh]

You've never seen seen the Australian production with John English playing Judas.

[@manyhumbles]

The voices and production are just WOW! Beautiful.

[@fireshiata]

Wow... the removal of Jesus from the cross, timed to Webber & Rice's "John Nineteen: Forty-One" music... breathtaking. Best Adaptation since the original, for me as well.

[@JavertRA]

The original was … surreal. That's why when it left Broadway and went to the West End they changed it completely.

[@MissFridayNightSwagg]

This is the best adaptation I've seen of the production. This is the best cast. The way that use the scenery is actually really great as well as the visuals.

[@bodhilogan3822]

Noel Shearer Agreed!!!!🙌🏼

[@Kwanglebeh]

You never heard the Australian 1974 production or heard the soundtrack.

[@MissFridayNightSwagg]

@@Kwanglebeh I actually have three or versions of the show.

I find this a fantastic production. The pilate is amazing, wonderful voice. The instrumentation is super

[@laureneames8615]

I absolutely love this Herod 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 and Judas is absolutely incredible

[@attwx]

I love all the different versions I'm finding on KZbin. I'm so amazed at the talented casts. This one did not disappoint. The end of this one was so intense - I was in tears. This is coming from someone who saw it live when it first went on tour with the original cast.

[@melchozap1580]

The best version of this play, ever, in my opinion

[@rt3593]

One of the best productions I've ever seen I love the fact that they did not do it as an anachronism. It seems everybody does it that way. This was obviously done by mature ,talented professionals. Judas was absolutely explosive! Just incredible.

[@JavertRA]

This really is a brilliant performance, particularly Judas and Pilate (when he's not doing that strange straining thing). I'm not sure whether it looks good or not, but the visual representation of Pilate's Dream is certainly an interesting touch.

[@Creewoolla]

Я в восторге! Местами это просто новое произведение. Исполнители порадовали почти все! Только разрешение кадра для такого фееричного представления подкачало.

[@christianwahn8887]

Drew Sarich heute 2017 als Jesus gesehen! Absolut großartig!!!!! ein Vollblutsänger! es geht nicht besser!

[@jimochi5721]

hab ihn auch am ostersonntag gesehen! Gänsehaut!!! Und nachdem er Gethsemane gesungen hat, sind alle gleichzeitig von ihren Sitzen aufgestanden und haben applaudiert und gejubelt. Für bestimmt fünf Minuten, bevor das Stück wieder weitergehen konnte. Ich hab öfters Tränen in den Augen gehabt während dem Stück :) Wirklich tief berührend und großartig, anders kann man seinen Jesus gar nicht beschreiben. Ich könnt mich aber gar nicht entscheiden ob ich ihn lieber als Jesus oder Judas hab ;)

[@EstebanPosadaDuque-x4y]

50 years now : and every single production is amazing : ALW & TR : amazing adaptation os an ageless story : saw it first when I was a 10 yold. boy : loved it ever since especially the movie done all in JERUSALÉN

[@marlinstrike]

I'm a sculptor and with my headphones on I've listened to many many Jesus Christ Superstars soundtracks on KZbin and happy to come across this one I'm a huge fan of it and other than the original with Ted Neely and Carl Anderson this is my favorite the director and the choreographer are out of this world Judas is pray tell one of the best that I've ever seen nobody can surpass Carl Anderson but he is out of this world good great great production

[@Yo19724]

I was there in amstetten. I still remember it.

[@javiergh3]

Wow - just watched "Heaven on their Minds" - probably the best sung/most effective staged version I've seen... now I have to watch the rest of this :) Thanks for posting

[@TheWizardofRandR]

The Wizard highly recommends this Filmed Stage Version , a surprisingly incredible Chorus and the dancers are really good too.If you love this Musical as I do ,I still sing along to it just like when it first came out in the early 70's on any version, then enjoy this if you got a couple of hours to load up sing along !!!!!

[@ingeforman6140]

Love this production of JCS. All performers are great. Stage are great. Musicians are great. No complaint

El intérprete de Jesús se quedo corto, Judas ... bravo, que voz, María Magdalena también tiene una voz bella. En general muy buena producción, la música y los coros fabulosos, realmente me gusto.

[@ashleyadamik4437]

Thank you so much! I've seen parts, but never the full version of this production. I always watched the individual clips for Drew Sarich's Judas, but due to this full version, I've discovered how brilliant Rob Fowler's Pilate is. Much appreciated!

[@jasmineson5699]

I love Herod here! He is entertaining!

[@Ilma1984]

54:07 I can't imagine how hard it must have been for Drew to see someone sing Gethsemane like this - knowing that he could do it SO MUCH better.

[@raymondmaurer1838]

Outstanding! Excellent cast, fabulous production.

[@elizabethcollins991]

I feel like I'm one of the few people who actually likes this Jesus.

[@marlat1026]

Elizabeth Collins I really like him.

[@RajprasongNews]

Jesus, in this character, is supposed to be composed, modest, the son of god with some self doubt, this actor played his part just about right!

[@andthatguysteve]

I quite like him too. The only thing that bugs me is his lack of falsetto range (which unfortunately, is needed to play Jesus)

[@insertpoetryhere8567]

I really like him

[@LadyVader33]

I think he was very expressive. I can forgive the lack of tenor range

[@rculver9056]

Loved this version of Herod's Song. Totally OTT lol EDIT: OMG, when they do those moves coming forward then all get into the stance... Brilliant!!

[@ThunderBaysAD]

I think it is the best production I've ever scene...And I've done the show 4 times.

[@CidaSantos-ir5yn]

Brazil has a very interesting version also.See Alirio Netto as Judas and Jesus as Igor Rickli. I love this musical, is fabulous. I really enjoyed this , the voices are perfect , and this Judas, wow !!!

[@KEEBLERVET]

This was produced in Austria, but no worries. Everything’s in English. This is such an energetic rendition of Jesus Christ’s last week. I’ve watched it several times already. I must say, though, for those of us well aware of the actual story, there are some major discrepancies and omissions. They become somewhat overshadowed by the energy, the fantastic singing, the choreography, and I have to say, the acting, which exceeds superb. A shout out to the stage crew for the unbelievable stage sets and the Special Surprises you created for your unsuspecting audiences. Nine and a half stars out of ten !! There are stand out performances, and I hadn’t expected such brilliant settings, and on point singing. Brilliant, ladies and gentlemen! You’ve certainly done yourselves proud!! God bless!

[@Marine6869IDiv]

One of the best stage productions I've seen.

[@Jennifer-cm7of]

What a great production!

[@blueturtle3623]

This cast really nailed the genre. I've seen a lot of productions that are incredible and full of talented people who just didn't have a rock voice. The casting directors understood the assignment and cast appropriately. Also, I've never really considered Pilate or cared about who was playing him, they're all fine to me. I now have a favorite Pilate, and it's whoever this dude is. Holy shit he blew it out of the water.

[@Simsonsimsons]

A fantastic production, all the acters are professionals absolutely

[@miguelantunez9592]

This is just GREAT!!! No doubts,no complaints, pls no comparisons.What you see is what you get....Please be open minded...or is that Ned or Carl are going to be forever alive. Be fair....not everybody is them...but there´s a new era!!!!

[@NeelTheSphynx]

I've been looking and I've watched so many productions and this is by far the best I've seen. So many productions have the music way too loud, so hard to understand the vocals. Everything is so clear here. Just the fact that Judas and Mary are being sung differently than how I've heard at sung so many times is so wonderful and refreshing. And at first I wasn't sure about the use of the screens but as soon as the title cards started showing up it clicked for me and I loved it. This made it feel almost like more of a live movie rather than a play if that makes sense. I loved this. Bummer Jesus skipped out on that high note though. :P

[@rosamariagomez7876]

i love it!!! Jesus was played great!!!. Judas was amazing!!!. Superb in general!!!

[@SantiJM]

One on the bests productions I have seen is J.C.S Voices, music, acting amazing.

[@StephenMackay-g7y]

the judas kicks ass in this and is by far the real talent here

Absolutely WONDER-FULL!!! An amazing musical interpretation and stage performance... Thank you very much for sharing it with the rest of the world...

[@insertpoetryhere8567]

I think there’s a point where some of y’all admit that you just want to see every Jesus as just a Ted Neeley impersonation.

[@LadyVader33]

I prefer a classical voice rather than pop, actually. I think Glen Carter and Steve Balsamo set the bar

[@kyleburgess2834]

Paul Nolan Is pretty good, and Aaron Lavigne of the current US your (thigh on hold due to covid)

[@winryrockbell539]

I don't like Ted Neeley as Jesus. I think Steve Balsamo is the best.
