There is one haunting melody sung by a woman, however.

"Try not to worry, try not to turn onto problems that upset you.
"Oh, don't you know. "Everything's alright, yeah everything's fine..."

I love to watch this movie during Lent. It definitely gets me in the right mood.

Have you seen the DVD of the 1996 London production. It is incredible!

The Jesus (Glenn Carter) and the Judas (Jerome Pradon) are better in the roles than Neely and Anderson - though I've always liked the 70's version, and like you, I watch it every year during Lent.
The only weakness in the new one is the Pontius Pilate, who seems to have gone to the Billy Jack school of acting.

I queue up my copy of the original album every year at Easter time.

When the final song, "John Nineteen: Forty One" comes on...I am reduced to tears.
