I did a regional tour of this back in the late 80's. Played Simon the Zealot and occasionally Pilate. Understudied Herod.

BTW. I thought the movie sucked.

Thanks...it’s the first song that I actually bought in years. I love it.

[Boogieman]

Always the contrarian, that one.

[CityCenter]

I loved it too.

John “Rotten” Lydon STILL holds naked contempt for organized religion “YOUR RELIGION”.

That might make him an especially effective Pontius Pilate or Judas Iscariot. Who knew that when he opened "Anarchy in the UK" all those years ago singing "I am an anti-Christ", he was just looking ahead to his career as an actor? As for Brandan Boyd, I've been a fan of Incubus since the late '90s. And a former member of Destiny's Child - a lot of talent there, despite the N'Sync guy - might need to check this out.

I saw Jesus Christ Superstar in Tucson five years ago with the great Ted Neely. It was so moving and the production was excellent. (I also wanted to dance along; the choreography was unforgettable.)

I have the the LP, had it since college in the 70’s. Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene was a legend in Hawaii: local girl done good.

When you think about it, have you seen a Biblical retelling as creative since?
