like, this mary isn't just in this whole thing because she's in love with jesus. sure, that's a part of it, but she's also there because she believes in the cause and wants change.

gunilla backman's mary is God Tier and i will stan her until the end of time

Lucia Dakin 🙏😃🤟 that’s a great compliment

@@Peterj0hansson Amazing! I'm addicted to this musical- now even more so.

@@Peterj0hansson och den är välförtjänt!

This version is great! Luckily I only have an issue with translated musicals when I can understand both versions well (so German-English usually), since you can understand all the ways they messed the translations up...

Very true! Hard for me to watch Spanish versions because it’s often difficult to fit all the nuance into such few syllables in Spanish

¨That is an accurate description of Ola Salo

Yeah this whole staging was genius, but esp this bit you're describing. I've never cared for that song in other versions, but this staging really changed the whole dynamic.

Jesus literally just cheated on Judas like not cool men :c

@@cinemaocd1752 Y'know Cinema. I totally agree. As others have said, Judas is stunning. But the total transformation of the Magdeleine brings new meanings to every song she sings. She's a woman that's been around and has some genuine life experience. I've been calling this "The Viking Superstar"

How can you even exist in a room with yourself after having hurt your eyes with this disrespectful filth of Satan. Why are you so perverted? I refuse to be sad for you.

Take a deep breath!

Thank you!!!

That's so cute because I had a similar experience with a different fandom... JCS is truly amazing.

@@Peterj0hansson well well well!!!! if it isn't pilate!!!!! how are you ????

Sakucheery12 his name is Jan Åström and he is indeed amazing!!! 👍👍

Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks Judas looks like Legolas in this

Thank you!!

@Daniel Deering What exactly do you mean by No??? Rude much? If you're going to disagree with my opinion and (very well deserved) praise, at least give a reason.

Peter, hey, the English line "you have set them all on fire" What is the English translation for the Swedish version of this line? It sounds like maybe "you have them hypnotized"?

@@timothylowe5603 , the Swedish line in this production is "Du har försatt dom i hypnos, dom säger Jesus är Guds son", which directly translated means "You have placed them under hypnosis, they're saying Jesus is God's son" - as you rightly assumed. As always when translating an artistic text there's that fine line and balance. One needs to apply a degree of creative lenience and freedom in order to make the text flow properly, while still conveying the message. I think over all the Swedish translation of JCS was great, even though I /do/ miss some of the more dramatic wordings and lines from the original English lyrics written so beautifully by Tim Rice. Still, over all I have to say that they managed to create a version where not too much got lost in translation. Most of the current generations basically have English as a second language these days. We start learning English very young at school here in Sweden, and there's social media of course. But there's still something special about hearing this musical being preformed in my native tongue. I'm also so happily surprised to see so many watching and commenting despite not knowing Swedish. That's really cool! Wow. Long response... sorry 'bout that! xD Well wishes, happiness, health, love and all that good stuff~

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy our version of JCS even though it's in Swedish.. :-)

@@Peterj0hansson i Love it, i looked up the lyrics translation so I could understand better. Thank You :-)

I want to read your thesis!!!

Lisa Hiselius thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the show!!🙏☀️☺️

Believe me, I as a swede lose my shit over it too, that and "sånt jävla hallå" 11/10

Guys do you know where we could find the lyrics for this amazing version? Thank you in advance!

Underbart , tack för din uppmärksamhet! Jag ska ta en Tuborg ikväll till din ära :-) Underbart nu när jag tänker på det ”Jesus lilla snickarson”! 😎

Glad you enjoyed it! :-)

Thank you!!! :-)

Nothing beats the original

Freddie Eriksson do you mean the first CD, the original broadway cast or the movie one?

@@helplessidiot well, Peter do.

SiberianCypress 🙏☺️☀️

Thank you so much!! Greetings from Sweden

Omg. I can't unsee it now

I have the original memorized so I'm voicing over all of this! lol

ash 😂👍👍

dyeanotherday thank you ☺️👍🙏

Linday Mohegan i saw some production of jcs casted Pilate as female because in the bible Pilate’s wife who actually dream about Jesus, so some production feel it’s alright to put Pilate as a woman because they can response to the audiences “see! this is a composite character”. I used to work in JCS production for Payap University Chiang Mai, Thailand when I studied there. :)

Our version of Pilate was a woman, a badass alto who KILLED it. I was in JCS 6 years ago as a Priest and I'm about to be in it again this summer as Caiaphas so, I'm super excited overall :3

A very worthy trade off

sydney m. 🥳👍🙏

When he does that little scream when Judas spits on his money....priceless.

@@imme246 THe way he walks, I think he actually needs the cane, yet he managed to work it in to his character. I have been doing theatre since 1980, mostly acting. I am losing my ability to walk (am only 58) and I envy that actor

He locks pretty terrifying too.

I love how fun he is. I shouldn’t like Annas but this version makes me absolutely love him.

@@crooked_mermaid Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas and the former High Priest. Rome deposed him and his son took over. Rome deposed his son and Caiaphas was put in Office where he remained for 15 years. This shows he collaborated with Rome rather well. For the Jews, the High Priest was in Office for life. In the Gospel of John, Jesus is taken to Annas for questioning before He is taken to Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin. This may be out of respect for Annas as High Priest..../ As to the Annas in the video, like I said, the actor is amazing in the role. I hae seen many versions of Superstar and he has gone beyond the script. I actually believe the actor needs a cane off stage (in "real life") and managed to work with it rather than have his disability work against him. I do not know this to be a fact but watching him makes me think that, at least when they made this, he did need the cane.

Soooooo..... true!

@@serinerefis9786 Are you ok?

Anne-Marie Turner 🙏 thank you! I’m also a huge fan of Tim ❤️

Thank you!!

Mina F tack 🙏☺️

DirtyDayMix 🥳🦇🤟😂

There’s a version with Eng subtitles somewhere on YT

Sharon Maxwell I think the style here is trying to capture the Swedish rock visual style

@Sharon Maxwell You nailed it :-) "Cameos from the teachers at Howgarts" just blew me away. You only forgot to mention the SW lightsabers we saw...

Exactly what I thought: Legolas is singing Elvish Rock Opera and it's stunning.

Tusen tack!! :-)
