Jesus Christ Superstar
Thu, 13 Aug 2009, 12:26 pmI went to see the MLT's production of Jesus Christ Superstar on Friday night (just gone)
and was blown away by the talent in the cast.
Well done to Karen Francis for taking on such a massive play and leaving me with a lasting impression. I was moved from beginning to end and was amazed that this was an amateur show!!
All the leads were incredible and the dancing extremely eye catching!!
Thank you for a great night out and thank you to all the cast and crew.
Everyone involved did an exceptional job!!!
:)
Great show!

Well done to all the cast and crew on a great show!
I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar twice - once at Kwinana and then at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.
As I know certain members in the cast I won't evaluate each individual but I thought it was an amazing show - some of the leads blew me away!
I particularly loved Judas's death scene, it was such a powerful scene - Jason Arrow did an amazing job with the role. Also the crucifixion had me in tears (my bf too, but he won't admit it) :'( I agree with the posts re the sound, that coud have been improved - the band was sometimes drowning out the singing :(
Sean Read as Pontius Pilate gave me chills - a brilliant performer. His song about having the dream about being blamed for Jesus's death was just beautifully performed and the projection behind him really added to it - well done to whoever thought up the projection idea!!!
Oh - and I thought Herrod's was hilarious! Patrick Cole (the guy playing Herrod) came down into the audience and hit on the guy in front of me and the guy just lost it. A nice bit of humour to bring the mood up before Judas's tragic death scene. Also talking about the wig, the nite I went it actually came off and flipped back on! I was raving about that all day until I found out it was an accident :P.
Thanks again all, brilliant job
