Contemporary costumes drive home the point that if Jesus came back today, he would wind up just the same as before.

[@jenniferbussiere3716]

🥺😮wow good point .I never thought about that 🤯

[@carlenegrinstead5471]

Love Tim, Ben, and Mel C. BEST EVER. I catch myself singing it everyday.

[@shilohauraable]

Who are Ben & Mel? I know Tim but not the others. Thanks 😊

[@RussellTofts]

Ben played Jesus. Mel C playec Mary MAgdalen.

[@cynimonry5919]

[@FaithChick18]

This musical has always been a favourite in my family. And this is one of my favourite performances

[@Grisbi6]

The music from Jesus Christ Superstar was perfect!

[@rockshot100]

I love how the lyrics and music depend on each other. Most obvious in "Gethsemane". I am not religious, but that song is the whole crescendo of the production. Jesus knows what is ahead and is anxious, afraid, etc.., then in that song, he decides to trust in His father. From then on, He is at complete peace. Lots of people who study songs, say that song, "I don't know how to love him" is one of the best ever written. *shrug" Long explanation about how the notes fall together and the whole structure of it. It is 100% about faith, should be, "I don't know if I believe him". AGREED

[@marijke881]

Ik zag juist de rock opera van 1973,fantastisch !

[@brucemonkhouse6698]

Brilliant..Minchin was perfect as Judas..the ending was a brilliant satire

[@hikenmikes8262]

Except he errored appearing smug and snarky at times. Judas was sorry and tormented…but never actually repented

[@sheering09]

I saw this production at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and it was an incredible experience. Loved Tim Minchin as Judas and Mel C as Mary ❤

[@rockshot100]

I only saw the recording, WHO would think a comic could hold a candle to Carl Anderson??? Tim IS Judas IRL. Remember Jesus and Judas were best friends to the end. (mates) Tim is amazing, bet he can dance too. That must have been a BIG experience. I saw Ted and Carl live, Twice. But both were a stage set up, never was meant to be a stage thing. Still amazing. BTW, Tim sought out the writer, Weber, and asked him if he could play the part. He said he was an atheist, Weber said, "keep talking."

[@eduardoj3314]

I love so much watching all the new versions of this pectacular timeless masterpiece!!!

[@teniahayzlett2709]

Loved Ted Neely!

[@LicensedBajaRealtor]

Me too. Saw him play Jesus many times. He was mesmerizing

[@oneitalia2312]

❤Ted Neely❤ ~ Powerful Voice. Frail. Beautiful. Perfect, messed up blondish hair. Tattered burlap sack and rope for his garment. There was not a better Jesus ~ ❤

I never knew Tim Minchin played Judas in any of these! Crazy... My fave Judas has always been Carl Anderson and Jérôme Pradon

[@cynimonry5919]

If you don't like this rock rendition of JCS then you're too old! This is absolutely fantastic!! 👍👍😁

I’m not sure how you get a rock rendition of a rock opera.

[@alessandronocelli8581]

[@user-gu2sq3ex6j]

This is my favourite cast of jcs

[@Pamtorres2003]

Im 61, and I love this rendition. Tim Minchin is the perfect Judas. As far as any missed notes - its live. That happens. Not a problem for me, as it was very entertaining.

[@kathyastrom1315]

Being a musical theater fan from my earliest memories in the 1970s, JCS was a huge part of my childhood. It was the first professional touring company show I saw-I asked for tickets to see it in Chicago for my 10th birthday present. The film was shown on tv every Easter weekend, and my sister and I played the soundtrack album on the turntable all the time, arguing who got to sing Judas and who was stuck with Jesus. I really like the tribute album from the 1990s SXSW artists, with the Indigo Girls singing Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The biggest problem on that album is the guy singing Caiaphas-his voice can’t handle the lowest notes. That album has my favorite version of Simon Zealot’s song, a jazzy version instead of the usual rocker.

[@soniatorres5227]

Minchin is fabulous but Carl Anderson , rest his soul in peace , was the best Judas ever

[@TheMrmartind40]

Brings back fond memories. I did sound work for our HS production of this opera, assembling the best band around, with the best musicians and hs actors from ours, and local schools. One of the early big 4 "rock operas. This is an excellent rendition.

[@helenasilva1252]

Adoro este musical. Qualquer das interpretações que tenho visto são muito boas. Há uma que gosto mais interpretada por Glenn Carter.

tim minchin plays a fantastic judas

[@donaldparent4571]

Se spectacle ma émue énormément faudrait organiser un spectacle au Centre Vidéotron ou Pavillon de La JEUNESSE je viendrai voir ça

[@NikaSamothrace]

Именно эта постановка моя любимая. В постановке 1976 Иисус, конечно, больше всего похож на себя, но все остальное немножко не такое. Постановка 2000 вообще превратилась в романтическую историю с любовным треугольником (ничего не имею против, просто, по-моему, этот мюзикл не совсем про это), а здесь просто фантастический Тим Минчин, и у Иуду наконец-то можно понять. А еще мне очень нравятся минимальные декорации:) Но вообще я обожаю все постановки этого восхитительного мюзикла!

[@horaciosacco2538]

Majestuoso!

Hello from Melbourne, Australia Watching this on Friday 29th March ( Good Friday ) so highly suitable for a great show !! I adore Tim Minchin and even though I was raised as Christian, I'm no longer, I grew a brain when I was 16. I'm now 71 yrs young and wiser 😉

[@bluejedi723]

I think Judas seriously upstages Jesus in the show.

[@charlieeckert4321]

I believe it was intended that way from the start.

[@LicensedBajaRealtor]

The show may be calle Jesus Christ superstar but it was really the Judas show

[@elizabethfauvelle7524]

You would have to pay me to see this version

[@LicensedBajaRealtor]

I saw it…. And have seen the show many times including the original cast… this was actually amazing

[@rockshot100]

WTF? Aussies, who could imagine that this comic Tim (not many in the States know of him), could ACT, SING, and do it all effortlessly? H E C T I C A F. Nothing trite or cheesy about him. He is up there with Hugh Jackman. Bet he can dance too. I am extremely critical, but he is perfection. The rest are good, but he shocked me. Carl Anderson did the same role in the movie and on stage, I saw him and Ted live, Twice. Carl defined the role,, instead of most who copy him, Tim plays the role differently; he is usually angry at his best friend (mate or "C" word). Smart move Tim. "If you can't beat 'em, then play a different game." I would love to see Hugh play Judas, and Tim play Oklahoma! BTW, it NEVER says that Mary was a prostitute, not even a hint.. I imagine she was just a follower or apostle. "I don't know how to love him" is NOT about sexual love. Should be, "I don't know if I believe him", this really bothers her. The whole production is about faith or lack of it. "Do you think you're who they say you are?"

[@emnorfolk5559]

❤

[@christinemccarthy602]

OMG. I thought nothing but Carl Anderson could nail this role. I am in love. This man is walking talent.

[@MichelleMyBelle2121]

Hi everyone, how are you? Can somebody Remind me when this whole play is free again? Is it this whole weekend?

[@jeanrocque-rr4ec]

There is no angst or horror on this guy's face or in his voice. Judas did a horrible thing and he knew it was tortured by it.

[@betsydey5500]

That's the point -this is after judas is dead. His angst is shown when he hangs himself. But the show takes a sympathetic view of Judas -that he was used by God and suggests he wasn't condemned.

[@CelloWolf]

Not my favourite musical, however the performance is tremendous.

[@user-dm9ur3le4n]

is my mine

[@rockshot100]

Carl defined the role of Judas, no room for improvement. Really, Tim has an angry take with his best friend Jesus, instead of just fear and panic. He can hold a candle to Carl. Tim is so different, they can't be compared. I am biased because I saw Ted and Carl live, 2 times. Tim is as good as Carl, although different.

I have seen this movie so many times and also saw the musical in person live with Ted Neely and it was much more classier than this !

My sister was studying in London during the years of the original version of JCS at the Palace Theatre in London in 1972, starring Paul Nicholas as Jesus, Stephen Tate as Judas and Dana Gillespie as Mary Magdalene; she went to the Palace and then, when we visited her, we decided to go to the theatre. I was very young, nevertheless they let me in. It was beautiful
