Yes it's true, Serge started asking for the crucifixtion very early in the performance.
The music and production was wonderfully done, but Sebastian Bach (former lead singer of the 80ies metal band Skid Row, doesn't have the voice or theatrical presence to step out of rock star mode into Broadway actor. His "Rock Star Jesus" didn't move me at all, except to pray like Serge for his early demise.
Bach said recently:
"I can either throw myself into a bottle or sing the part of
Jesus....." .
