A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS>..
Mon, 20 Mar 2006, 04:02 pmHey there people,
Just wanted to asked you your opinion about something some friends and i have debated recently.
In JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, can the role of Judas be played by a woman?!
Does that "ruin" the story, or can it be an asset?!
I'm interested to know how others feel about this..
Personally, i'm all for the idea..
I don't mean to say that i'd go and cast a girl in the role JUST FOR THE SAKE of it. But i believe it can be done just as passionately and at the same time, add another dimension to the Jesus / Mary M / Judas love/hate triangle thing.. it might even be more accessible if it's played well by a woman.
At the same time i can completely understand people would disapprove or have trouble being comfortable. Possibly too "taboo" for it's own good, or "changing things for the sake of it".
I'm IN LOOOOOVE with the 1992 Australian Cast Highlights Album @ the moment. Jon Stevens and John Farnham..OMG!! *drools* SO SO GOOD!! (go australia!! haha)
But yeh, wanted to see if anybody was passionate about the idea either way..
Hope to hear from you

> First of all, are you talking about playing Judas AS a woman or BY a woman?
All those who would have guessed Paul's opinion on this before he expressed it?
:-)
Sorry Paul, couldn't help myself.
:flowers:
Oh, and how long before David Meadows suggests the role should be played nude?
*ahem*
Cheers
