To My Jesus'

Hey guys I was just cast as Jesus in Godspell! Any tips? I've never seen the show, but I've fallen in love with Barrett Foa and the 2000 Revival recording. I keep hearing "Jesus has to be dorky , but powerful " but I'm a very meek person. Thanks!

Jesus is dorky? What cult of kool-aid drinker told you this?

Jesus knows he power but he is not a dork. He is a man with complete love and sacrifice in his heart.

Good Lord! When will you practice walking on water? That would be interesting to watch.

Dare to be different. Try playing our Lord as a screaming queen with a vibrating buttplug.

I drink Powerade thank you very much re: re: re: To My Jesus'

I read that in a review of the Revival's production and Barrett's account. Jesus was to be played dorky, but with a forceful power. How should I play off Jesus?

Namo? vibrating buttplug?! Alright but only if I can borrow yours

I say get your script and memorize now, Jesus has so many line in that show, and so many are so close to being the same, goodluck with the ifs and buts.

ALSO just sing you heart out, and remember you are a teacher. Find the love, because you are goin to want to be pissed off alot.

How did Victor Garber play it in the film? Been many years since I saw it and have NO recollection of it except that he gets crucified on a chain link fence.

Yeah Stevos I heard about that. Jesus' lines are so close to the actual ones in the Gospel. We have our first rehearsal on monday. Then we open for Nov. 1, 7, and 8.

Yeah I hear ya Jon, I was ticked off too, but it is our first musical in a black box none the less. It's all we can afford.

Does Jesus get to dance a lot? I had so much fun with the choreography they gave us at the auditions.

Jesus dances if you make him dance...there is alot of improv in Godspell, he can dance during anything the cast adds in, extra music for te vignetts or whatever..Also there is one song, duet between him and John Judas, that there can be some fun choreography in, But mostly the dancing comes from the ensemble in the dance numbers. If I remember correctly, and god help you when Sonya gets ahold of you....

Are you refering to Turn Back O Man? That is going to be sooooooooooooooo much fun. My fag hag is singing that song. We have this whole sexy tango planned out. She's gonna sing "Turn Back......(soprano) O MAN! (baritone)"

re: re: re: To My Jesus'

I actually suggest it opposite of that, It sounds so awesome when a girl takes the turn back low, and then belts the oh man on the higher ocatve.
