Jesus Christ Superstar

[Winetalk.com]

Sebastian Bach is as much Jesus as I am Mao Tse Dun.

If real Jesus was as much self indulgent as Bach made him look,
we'd NEVER havd Chrisitianity in the first place.

Lack of voice for the part didn't help him either.

Wrong pauses, wrong accents....I don't know how he fares in rock, but Broadway is not for him yet...

Magdalena and Judas were very good,
in this particular order.

If you know the original version as well as I do,
you'd be disapointed.

on the 10 points scale I give it 6.5:

3 for performance, 7 for choreography/stage effects/light and 10 for music
the present cast haven't re-write, Thanks God!

or in a nutshell , they were right to crucify him

Nick, LL won't let me lie,
I asked her after his second song:
"don't you think he is ready for crucifiction NOW"?
;-)))

[Nickatilynx]

ahahahahahahahahaha .Who was the singer?

I saw it in London maybe 10 yrs ago it was excellent.

I have a feeling it was starring Paul Nicholas.So was Phanthom of the Opera despite the fact it starred Frank Spencer
(Michael Crawford)



I kept waiting for him to say "oooohhh its done a woopsy"

Hahahahaha....

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....." .
