The Most Revolutionary Songs From Jesus Christ Superstar

[@Saggigirl]

Saw this live in Melbourne Australia was fantastic modern version

[@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.

[@alessandronocelli8581]

Grandi! Mi hanno riportato indietro negli anni 70 e la nostalgia mi ha commosso.

[@FaithChick18]

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

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

I would not pay a Zack for that. That is six pence in the old currency in Australia. Screaming. I am sure they are good singers without screaming.

[@martincolvill5453]

My life has spanned eight decades and this musical is timeless. Dress it up in any era, it'll stand up!

[@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 ~ ❤

[@jamiegriffiths3939]

[@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

[@jeannebowers1749]

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 🤯

[@MsMounen]

It would be the same every time, because we don't change. Everything I've read in the bible about human nature is still relevant today. I think God knows us extremely well.

[@AnnaBellaChannel]

[@PauloCezarSouza-gc7jd]

I’ve listened to JCS so many times that I can sing this whole opera from memory… fantastic work!!

[@micheladerry5681]

me too

[@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

[@CindySchrichte]

Love and own it. Tim is a KING!!

[@eduardoj3314]

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

[@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."

[@lorimcosh2331]

My absolute favorite version- and I’m old enough to have received the original album for my 8th grade graduation

[@oneitalia2312]

(Double album with lyric booklet) ❤ I believe I wore it all out - but still have it ❤

[@emnorfolk5559]

The best rock opera ever!!!

[@Gary-y8g]

No question this was a masterpiece with a pro cast

[@jaysmith8199]

This was the first professional musical I saw - fell in love with musicals after that. Northcott Theatre, Exeter it was fabulous.

[@soniatorres5227]

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

[@Marcela-j5i]

👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏😔⚘️

[@evahinterlach6485]

That is the truth! You could see the pain in his eyes when he sang and his voice incomparable. Also I like Yvonne Ellison’s voice so much more

[@bronwyntully6058]

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 😉

[@samdavies-i1n]

This is my favourite cast of jcs

[@mannymorales7913]

Great picks; this cast is fantastic!

[@jamiegriffiths3939]

you haven’t seen other versions if you think that cast is good

[@cynimonry5919]

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

[@langdalepaul]

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

[@dawnbehen2780]

This has always been a “rock” version. It was a rock opera…no speaking in it at all. Just absofrigginglutely amazing rock vocals and music.

[@TheMusicianTom]

[@LicensedBajaRealtor]

My all time favourite musical and this I think is my favourite version. I did see the original version and was hooked but something about this performance is transformative

[@ІгорПетомиць]

I am 65 years old, and this absolutely, amazing. By the way am from former USSR and we tried to hear this one underground.

[@m.emilyonglatco8266]

I saw the 50th anniversary tour in the US and it was honestly the best live singing I’ve ever heard.

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.

[@Raktus]

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

[@jamiegriffiths3939]

and Jon English the best

[@deannapowell5815]

First saw JCS when I was probably 11-12 and fell IN LOVE with it. I’ve seen so many remakes. My absolute favorite remake is the one with Glenn Carter. I’ve also seen the Broadway version. Being right there, experiencing the feelings and the music…all I can say is WOW!! Blew my mind.

[@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.

[@helenasilva1252]

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

Ik zag juist de rock opera van 1973,fantastisch !

[@JohnsJohnson-ns5xm]

Got to see it live as a teenager made a profound impression. Still have a crush on Yuvonne.

[@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.

[@parisiansparkle]

Jeeeez !!!!!!!!!!!!!!😛 I am a fan of Neely for sure but this Mary M wasn't expected - brava Mel 💝💝amazed at 4:34 in her solo ahaha

[@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!

[@beppegaido5361]

[@janw491]

I’m getting obsessed and I have Three version of this play. I think I like this one even better than the first

[@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?"

[@petermcgrath9008]

And he WROTE the musical MATILDA. A very talented man.

[@mrsjazzy61]

Saw this age 15 in the mid 70’s in London on a school trip along with many others 💥 Theatre productions still blow my mind today but this one & West Side Story 🤗 I brought the original Lp’s to both & still play them today (scratch scratch 🫣) Well done each & everyone for all your achievements don’t mind the negativity some people can’t help them selves 🫣 Keep sharing the music 😊

Not my favourite musical, however the performance is tremendous.

[@brittneyWreford-k4d]

[@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.

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.
