Posted: 9/17/05 at 1:20amWhen was the last JCS tour? Is there a cast list available?
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I think it was in Boston winter or spring of 2003.
I didn't go, but a friend of mine became obsessed..
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH! 8/21/05

Posted: 9/17/05 at 2:26amI know i saw it two years ago in Alabama. It was actually pretty good. I alwasy meant to pick up a copy of the Cast Recording, but alas, there are too many to choose from.

Posted: 9/17/05 at 2:50amI guess, i just tend to hate London Cast Recordings, for some reason the quality seems different to me.

The last tour wrapped up in late 2004/early 2005. Personally, I thought it was undercast - there were maybe 18 people in the entire cast (all the female cast including Mary Magdalene had to double and triple up), and the set was large and devoured the actors. It also had the giant light cross of doom which blinded the audience no less than three times during the night.
That said, it also had the incredible Natalie Toro as Mary Magdalene.

I thought the set was really interesting. Of course it looked old biblical times w/ columns and stuff, but then modern things would be flown in and whatnot, it was really cool. I don't remember the score being amazing; only that the guy who played Jesus had an incredible voice & range. And that Mary Magdalene had the best song in the show.
And fine CatsNYRevival, I'll cave in and get the CD - Happy?!

I saw it, but I agree with the "undercast" comment.
Also, they were all pretty talented, but no one really seemed to have their hearts in it.
