The Best of Tim Minchin as 'Judas' | Jesus Christ Superstar

[@TheShowsMustGoOn]

What's your favourite moment from Tim Minchin's performance?

[@friends4eva01]

my favourites are all of his performance :)

[@emilywhitehouse2768]

Fav moment from JCS is any time he’s on screen. ;) But honestly I really like his I Dont Know How to Love Him Reprise and how much raw emotion he can put into his voice in those scenes like Damned for All Time. It really gives depth to his character and I love the way he actually ACTs the part in his voice and face.

[@b.d6642]

The "i don't know how to love him" reprise

[@SuAva]

Every second of every part! But especially the sustained notes

[@e.h.678]

I had to laugh when he first appeared with a tambourine in "Superstar". Absolutely chaotic, just perfect. I have to smile everytime I see it, no matter how often I'm watching it.

[@ordainedegg]

He'll forever be my favorite Judas. Judas being played by an atheist fits so well, and the depth he brings to the role is incredible.

[@Someone.Mostly.Irrelevant]

@DadisDad I'm so sorry for your kids if you feel the need to invalidate strangers online. Pay attentions to your kid, touch some grass. Reconnect with whatever resemblance of a life you used to have before clicking on a video appreciating someone just to hate on that person and their fans.

[@Someone.Mostly.Irrelevant]

@DadisDad You can't just say that someone's got shitty taste and that you're not hating anyone in one comment. "Good" and "bad" are probably the most subjective things in this world, saying that something's shitty is an opinion, not "merely pointing that out." If you want to be hypocritical, go ahead. It's entertaining.

[@Evvuful]

The absolute shift from Judas's death to Superstar really shows how perfect he was for this role

[@kathyjaneburke2798]

His physicality, his facial expressions, his eyes. The emotion he puts into this role. This is his master work. This role was written for him before he was even born.

[@worldofcubing8242]

Tim so perfectly captures that side of judas that's often overlooked, his love for jesus and his jealousy of mary

[@wriggleby]

EXACTLY

[@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777]

I don't think it was jealousy really, its desperation, the desperation to keep his closest friend and mentor alive. Because he had more understanding of the dog eat dog world that they are exposing their group into. ("Listen Jesus to the warning I give. Please remember that I want us to live. But its sad to see our chances, weakening with every hour") When it was just them being taught by Jesus, it was much easier to explain the nuances of his teachings to them and have a quick mutual understanding of its wisdom. But as they travel and their influence grew. It became much harder to control that misinterpretation. Judas and his fellow Apostles knew that Jesus' claim as the "King of Kings" is more of a spiritual "King" than a political one. But most people they've come across won't interpret it that way. The public saw Jesus as a political figure and saw his act of miracles as a "campaign" of sorts. ("All the good you've done will soon get swept away. You begun to matter more than the things you say") That's why when word got around and reached the Pharisees and the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate, those political powers felt threatened by this rumored "King of Kings" and had a watchful eye on him, waiting for a slip up that would give em an excuse to silence him. Judas was the only one who thought that all this was getting out of hand. If this kept going, the political powers will surely mark their friend as a Blasphemer and the public will mark him as a Liar. ("But every word you say today, gets twisted round some other way. And they'll hurt you when they think you've lied") There's a reason why he was Jesus' right hand man, he wasn't there to be evil. He was the smartest disciple. So Judas tried his damnest to convince Jesus that they need to keep their head down or lose it. That's why he also got pissed at his fellow disciples because they're just following blindly like they don't care what all this attention would lead to. And this is why he didn't like Mary. He wasn't jealous, in fact, the story implies that if the situation was any different, Judas would have just let Jesus and Mary be. Like I said awhile ago, Jesus' teachings were being twisted as they became more popular. The public won't care about nuances, only surface level examples. And Jesus being with Mary is a contradicition. And contradictions just gives the nay-sayers more ammo once sh*t hits the fan. ("It doesn't help that you're inconsistent, they just need a small excuse to put us all away") Judas wants to avoid stuff like that at all cost. At the end of his rope, the frustration, the desperation. He sold Jesus to the Pharisees to push the other disciples to act, and to show Jesus what his actions will lead to. Judas didn't anticipate that it will lead to the worst possible outcome. He tried to do everything right, but at his lowest point he made the worst possible decision. So no, it wasn't jealousy. Its desperation.

[@b.d6642]

I honestly think that it's perfect for an atheist to play judas, it brings so much more depth to the character

[@b.d6642]

@DadisDad are you talking about my comment? If so then it's because the whole thing about judas is that he doesn't believe that jesus is really the son of god and instead of following god he goes more for action (confronting jesus in the beginning, selling him etc) a lot like atheists. And in heaven on their minds you can feel how he is disappointed in jesus for choosing in believing the whole "I'm the son of god" thing rather than listening to what he has to say about his group of followers

[@b.d6642]

@DadisDad i actually didn't know who tim was before i watched this recording

[@DontTouchMyCroissant]

@DadisDad Thanks, dad.

[@Pixie_Barrow2024]

The pure torture on his face at 6:56 is the finest acting I have ever seen. I agree with another commenter that casting an atheist in the role brought a whole level of depth that wouldn't have been there before, but it's Tim Minchin's genius as an actor that provides it. My favorite Judas and my favorite actor.

[@singingeskimo]

Why anyone would autotune Tim Minchin is beyond me, he's brilliant as is

[@AttilaThebung]

I think the biggest crime the production team committed on this run of JCSS was pitch correction on Tim. He captures the rawness of emotion and frustration Judas was written as having and it comes out in his voice. That little bit of pitchiness would’ve been amazing to hear. Petition for ALW to re-release this run without pitch correction?

[@FogsterBell]

The autotune scratches my ears every time here. That is a shame and really a crime. Tim has a great voice on his own!

@@lukebradford yeeee, no. It’s highly noticeable (especially in the Jaded mandarin bit and in the I don’t know how to love him reprise), it trully does ruin the performance as Tim’s vocals would be so beautiful raw, but with the autotune the rich emotions in the voice get hardly translated at all.

[@b.d6642]

@@emdentaylor1110 agree, i don't mean that the autotune was needed for the rest of the cast, it shouldn't have been autotuned at all

[@Melstrife]

Tim has been the most impressive Judas that I have ever seen and heard. He is definitely a favorite Judas for me.

[@Melstrife]

​@DadisDad To each their own. Carl Anderson is good but not a favorite to me. Tim gives strength in many parts when he sings. He wanted to play this role for a while and when he got the chance, he did amazing job!

[@Melstrife]

@DadisDad To me a great example to strength that Tim gives as the character Judas, is the Last Supper Scene in this video. His anger in his face and voice when he sings "You sad pathetic man..." and as the scene continues. The emotion how Judas feels about the situation with Jesus is very strong. That Judas himself feels betrayed by Jesus because he feels used and doesn't understand that this was supposed to happen. That is one reason why I like Tim. He attitude and he put is all into this role. What is so great about Carl that makes him good? Everyone has their opinion and what they like. But, sometimes people can just like someone because they believe an actor brings forth more emotion and power to the character then how other's portray that same character.

[@loganmarks2105]

@DadisDad people don't need to "back them up" that the point of opinions one actor/singer can just connect with people on an emotional or personal level.

[@neilpuck]

His voice (pitch) is insanely good. He hits and holds a note perfectly without the need for vibrato.

[@evevoxx2053]

cuz it is auto tuned to death...( you can clearly hear it) still an amazing performance n the best judas ever tho

[@ezrawells2924]

The most offensive thing to me about auto-tuning his performance is that it takes away so much of the emotion that Tim put into the role. Judas needs to have a visceral and raw sound to the performance because he goes through so much in the space of the show that it's the only way to adequately display his turmoil. It might not sound as pleasant but its a part of the role. It's also quite rude in my opinion because auto-tuning him makes it seem like his voice is not equipped for the role when, in actual fact, his voice absolutely is. All that being said, I saw him live when they toured the show again in 2014 and every moment that he was on stage, he captured my attention. He was so perfectly cast. If I absolutely had to pick my favorite moment, it would be when Judas is singing I Don't Know How To Love Him. His despair and agony cut me to the bone, the way it becomes this defeated kind of squeak as he curls in on himself. If I hadn't already been a fan of Tim, I know for a fact I would have gone away and looked him up that night.

[@stewiew1151]

Yeah. Judas is SUPPOSED to be in pain; the notes shouldn't matter as much as the emotion. And with every auto-tune they did on his voice, they took emotion away from Tim's portrayal of Judas.

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

Absolutely. My other favourite Judas is Drew Sarich (who also does a really good Jesus too, and has performed in both roles on Broadway, in the West End and all over Europe and the US) and he is just as painfully emotive, despite a more traditional musical theatre vocal quality. In the same way, as I love Steve Balsamo's Jesus, Drew brings that painful pleading and begging quality from Judas into Jesus for Gethsemane, and I love when it's more about the pain and the emotion than being concerned about hitting every single note absolutely perfectly. But nobody has caused the same emotional reaction to the suicide scene as Tim. I had to pause the DVD as I was having a full-on ugly-cry meltdown.

[@karenkaler187]

The hottest Judas I've ever seen, he played this part well. People don't realize that this is play is about the struggle between Judas and Jesus.

[@anniaking4053]

@DadisDad bro- what. Why you so salty over everyone complimenting Tim's Judas? Lmao, get a life

[@roninjoey]

[@grachisol8236]

Every scene with him is my favorite. He’s incredible.

[@ashrose4979]

To be able to do that intentional vocal fry safely takes serious vocal control and talent. Killing it. EDIT: i assume it was safe as he did it on tour and sounded great in the finale after singing like that all show. I don't know what it felt like but hes a really good vocalist so it would surprise me if he was routinely doing something painful

[@giroe]

i remember reading somewhere that it was actually killing his voice, but i cant remember the exact details on it now

[@Brisingrize]

The fact is isn't easy I like honestly. But yeah he was ripping his throat apart. But he went to lessons to make sure he wouldn't damage himself permanently. It's the fact it's hard for him, that adds to that emotion and desperation.

[@mrflibble5203]

@DadisDad Obviously i wasn't the person you were talking to but anyway: I think Tim has mountains of charisma and brings a more sympathic tone to the character making you think more about the subjects at hand. As for the voice, Anderson has a great voice but thats all it is just great. It feels more controlled in my opinion whereas Tim's feels like it comes from his acting and the personality of Judas. I also think his dynamic with the other members of the group, Mary and Jesus is more realistic and interesting. I suppose the style of the show also leans in his favour (costumes, set etc).

Everyone is entitled to their own feelings and opinions. No need to be rude to say you did not like this performance. Just because you feel that way, does not mean anyone else has to.

I never did that to you. Carl Anderson being your favorite is your OPINION. An opinion can be many different things. So just because I said Tim Minchin is MY favorite Judas, does NOT mean my opion is wrong. You can simply disagree with it without being so incredibly negative about it. You also go completely against the first question you asked me, which i answered politely. You clearly are not genuinely curious about why I feel the way I do because you are completely comfortable in just telling me I'm wrong.

I'm not trying to make you like Tim Minchin, or believe something different than when you commented on my post. Im not trying to give tell you critisms, if that's what you're looking for. I came here stating my honest opinion that I just love his performance and he happens to be my favorite Judas. If I can't pinpoint exactly why, that's okay. I wasn't trying to start an argument. You're favorite is Carl Anderson. That is entirely valid. You don't like Tim Minchin's Judas. That is also valid. But please, the problem I have with your comment is that you hopped on my post to purposely just drag Tim. That's not cool.

Finally y’all are recognizing his talent ❤️❤️

[@snbks4ever]

I am brand new, like I looked this up last night and this is utterly amazing!!! This man is amazing!! Tim Minchin just oozes that it factor

[@laurenmurray3500]

omg his voice crack when he says "he is just the same" kills me everytime he is byfar the best judas

[@aidanoneill77]

Carl Anderson better

[@veronikaleleka7672]

Tim Minchin is absolutely amazing. He acts like a god. Maybe Jesus is not a real god, but Tim definitely is.

[@SeasonsChange14]

@DadisDad : Tim Minchin is an unexpected genius. He writes, acts, plays the piano, sings, and educates . Everything he does is done with passion and intelligence.

[@idgarobingoodfellow]

@DadisDad we get it, you hate his judas and think other people are better than him and probably dont like his other stuff either, don't keep shitting on people who disagree with you and think hes talented and want to call him a comedy or musical genius. This is a guy performing his dream role, and it connects with people in a way that your favorite Judas connects with you, and that doesn't make anyone wrong or deserving of the vitriol you're spitting out all over this comment section.

[@sazfretz1945]

WOW! I was not expecting THAT! He's phenomenal!!

[@alisonshenton]

I WATCHED TIM MINCHIN AS JUDAS CAN'T STOP WHY WOULD I THE MOST AMAZING 🥰 PERFOMER THANK YOU ❤️ TIM FOR THE ENJOYMENT YOUR ARE SO BRILLIANT I HAVE WEPT SO MANY TIMES WATCHING YOU ❤️🦋🌈

[@parsleybeckett6335]

wonder how his back recovered from carrying this entire show

[@caeod]

His bit at 5:43 is so gut-wrenchingly raw. I love it.

[@lenahaymonds6210]

By far the best Judas there has been! He’s phenomenal 🌟

[@lenahaymonds6210]

@DadisDad Carl Anderson was absolutely amazing that’s pure fact, but it’s all about personal opinion and in my opinion Tim Minchin is the best. That’s ok if you don’t agree with me, we all have different opinions, just grow up and don’t call me crazy.

[@sandraazocar]

I can't believe you cut out the part with the tambourine. That's the best part of that number.

[@finmiles965]

ikr, that was ICONIC

[@LucieAshworth]

Ikr when he just whipped out a tambourine I just sort of went WOAH WHAT HUH YES

[@b.d6642]

Correction: that's the best part of the whole musical

[@ersturdevant2831]

Carl Anderson is still my fave Judas' actor, but Mr. Minchin runs a close second.👍

[@KiyanKai]

This gave me goosebumps for how long this video is. This guy called me Untalented for every song he sings.

[@katamolnar3364]

They know what we need

[@ImogenC-rt3fm]

Thank you Tim. For your honesty and commitment. This truly moves me. Wish I had your courage.

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

Jesus Christ Superstar slaps so hard, particularly Tim Minchin

[@fairwayray]

Tim stole the show. Such charisma!

[@joyllywoodb5402]

Never thought I would like anyone but John English in this role but Tim nails it and gave me goosebumps

[@apiramie]

I love Tim Minchin's performance, so much raw emotion!

[@jackuon]

thank you, TSMGO! you know what the people want! ;D i have been OBSESSED with Tim Minchin's Judas ever since this channel streamed the best JCS ever. i LOVE watching his clips, so this is awesome!

[@novembergold4144]

I'm suspicious of this because it's only 10 minutes long.

[@gillianpalmer4196]

Yes, this! His whole performance is mesmerising from start to fiish.

[@DYDYBEEBEE]

im so happy y'all uploaded this, i love tim as judas soooo much. his performance feels very raw and real to me. i know everyone debates who plays judas best, and some may like others more, but something about tim and the fact that he's not a voice you would expect, but he makes it work so well, and his acting was really good, especially for a comedian. such a great judas

[@DYDYBEEBEE]

and this excludes the autotune, btw. im still mad abt that

[@gabrielabravo3731]

Did you mean to post the whole musical??? When he sings "Will he care for me" gets me averytime!!

[@brianaustin5467]

They just did, last week.!

[@gabrielabravo3731]

@@brianaustin5467 Yes! It was the best thing ever! And Minchin was amazing as Judas 😍

[@b.d6642]

@@brianaustin5467 that was the first time i watched any version of jcs and since then I'm OBSESSED with it

[@beckymcmanus3367]

What a performance. Nobody does it better. Moves me to tears

[@jenniferaraisuru]

Agreed

[@biancacastilho3602]

so here's the reason why i had to explain to my super catholic granny why i put a photo written Judas between the poster of The Sound of Music and my photo in the church choir.

[@b.d6642]

I absolutely love this channel, you can just feel the love towards theatre, that's not something that a lot of other industries (Hollywood, books/graphic novels etc) can say they have, a passion/love towards what they represent

[@oliverdelgado8802]

Tim minchin puts soo much emotion, you can see what his going through and I feel bad for the guy

[@mak3its0]

I think there are a lot of flaws to this particular production, but Tim Minchin sure as hell ain't one of them. The depth and rawness he brings to Judas is superb!

[@AdamMaykov]

This opera will never get old

[@alexdavis5766]

Tim is by far the best Judas, he’s so suited to the roll. So wish they would reprise the show for another tour. Like a 10th anniversary tour?

[@indigofrost4782]

@DadisDad Hey, can you shut up and let people have their own opinions? Carl Anderson has a good voice but his acting in the show is honestly terrible imo and tim brings more depth into the show. I've seen you commenting on every single fucking comment on this video that mentions Tim minchin and its fucking annoying.

[@mkbov67]

@DadisDad shush

[@mereteisaksen7698]

I just love him in that role. What a voice. He is such a fantastic actor and singer very charming and sezy

[@gemmacope2908]

He made me love this show! He is SO good

[@maximdacald2720]

Amazing, i love his voice and the expression of his eyes. 💜💜💜

[@lorenzodeo2007]

Hey how are you doing?

[@50sRockChick]

Such a talented guy. Love him.

[@laurenconrad1799]

He was incredible. When I saw him playing Judas, I was like, he's amazing, but I didn't know this was something he could do. Was I just unaware that he had such talent for performing in rock musicals? And then I heard, nope, no one else knew he could do that either. But he managed to convince ALW to let him audition and blew everyone away.

[@siniorgolazo]

@DadisDad Jeez, just shut up and let everyone enjoy whatever they want.
