Posted: 8/17/05 at 11:01pmno, he's mentioned...but that's his only number, unless he's chorus too.

Posted: 8/17/05 at 11:02pmUnlikely he's gonna be chorus...it's often an older man.

Posted: 8/17/05 at 11:03pmSome directors will incorporate him into the Prologue (depending on their vision for that scene) as well as him in the final scene with Pilate, watching the trial.

Posted: 8/18/05 at 1:11amEvery professional production I have seen he only comes in for his song. Short and sweet.

Posted: 8/18/05 at 1:24amKinda like Sarah in DRS where she only has the one song and then is done. I'd imagine its good money for not a lot of work.

Posted: 8/18/05 at 1:30amI imagine if it was pro, they'd have a "legend" in that role.

Posted: 8/18/05 at 1:34amActually in a production of JCS I was in, Herod was played by a woman. They sort of did a kind of dominatrix S&M type theme. She had a big, long, leather trenchcoat and a riding crop, as well as three muscular guys in Chipendale-type outfits. She stole the show! It was the funniest scene!

Posted: 8/18/05 at 8:55amI wouldnt say he was a "legend" but when I saw it on tour. The original Herod was doing the role.

Actually, if it is done historically, Herod is younger...and, therefore, able to double. He is also usually in the 30 lashes scene as Herod.
MTRBOI24, Paul Ainsley was on the tour? Or do you mean the original London Herod?
