Audio from the 'Original Australian Cast Recording' album of Jesus Christ Superstar 1972. 'Heaven On Their Minds' performed by Jon English who played the part of Judas in the stage production here. Best Judas around in my opinion :)
In the early 70's Jon auditioned for Harry M Miller's first production of 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. He was given the prestigious and demanding lead role of 'Judas' at the age of just 22. The show's phenomenal success kept him busy for the next five years, touring all over Australia and New Zealand.
Jesus Christ Superstar was the most successful stage production of its day and one of the most successful in Australian showbiz history. Despite all the impressive elements that made Superstar such a great show, it was Jon's performance which left everyone breathless. Fantastic gymnastics combined with gut wrenching emotion, and a voice that literally took the roof off. Tim Rice, co-writer with Andrew Lloyd-Webber, was moved to comment that 'the Australian cast version was the best he had ever heard'.
