re: Jesus Christ Superstar

What did I do wrong? David Cassidy did do a role in the play. I never saw it ..he was in it during the 70's 80's I was not born yet in the 70's I was born in 81 so I never saw it. Is it comeing to My city at all ? I'd like to see it. Peace dude.

re: Jesus Christ Superstar

maybe it was a play with a different title. but if it had THAT title, then it was a musical. the musical came out around '71-'72

re: Jesus Christ Superstar

tFAN, I am not shouting or criticizing you or anything. This is all innocent I promise. I was just saying that it is a great show and everyone should see it. That is all. I love everyone on this board and will not start something unless it is called for it.

re: Jesus Christ Superstar

All these newbies. All this wimpy flaming. My head is spinning. I'm confused. I heart you, Spider('s woman - dammit, I'm a straight lady! I am!).

Hard to say which recording's my favorite, but I tell ya, the current tour, with Eric Kunze and the late Carl Anderson, was phenom. The singing, acting, everything rocked. It's one of the only ALW musicals I truly love.

re: Jesus Christ Superstar

I also love the Australian recording. It is so fun. And JCS is ALW's masterpiece. Hands down. Then POTO, then EVITA, then SONG AND DANCE (with Marti Webb)

re: Jesus Christ Superstar

Agreed w/ POTO and to an extent Evita. It's his 3rd best, but a distance third after POTO. I've never heard Song & Dance before. And Joseph... and Cats were just...words need not explain.

(PS. There's an Aussie CR?)

re: Jesus Christ Superstar

96 London soundtrack is the best.

Movie soundtrack is the worst.

This is ALW's masterpiece but THEN comes Starlight, Whistle, Evita.

re: Jesus Christ Superstar

does anyone on the board have a preference over the movie or the newly produced DVD version of the show... just curious.

i personally love yvonne elliman's rendition of "i don't know how to love him"

re: Jesus Christ Superstar

I doubt anyone will say the movie is better than the recent video.
#23

re: Jesus Christ Superstar

I haven't seen the new DVD but I've heard the CD and I'm not a big fan. Too...over-produced, if that makes sense. I enjoyed the movie soundtrack much more. (Carl Anderson, people!) And Ted Neely's Gesthemane (sp?) gets me every time.

Edited to ask: Did anyone see Sebastian Bach as Jesus on tour?
