Well. It has to be understandable doesn't it? And often it is not. I watched a production in Bonn, Germany. Every word was understandable even though most of them were German

Они итальянцы?!

@@Meisterio Конечно

It's a great pleasure for us reading those words, thank you very much!!

Maybe it shouldn't be attempted by people whose native language is not English. I mean what's the point? This isin't like climbing Everest just because "it is there." This is someone's art

john ponzini You are wrong! It should not be left undone because it’s foreign language. After all...Opera, art music, ABBA 😉. Simply...accent coaches.

And you created a superb Judas for your audience.

Congratulations! You were great as Judas. All the cast was awsome.

@@Behaviordoc2 I wholeheartedly agree. Magnificent performance, Francesco. Bravo! 👏

¡Excelente trabajo!

Nice work, Frank!

Thank you. the guy who plays Jesus (Giorgio Adamo) is actually "Simon" in Ted Neely's original company

@@IMAGEartPRO Oh wow I didn't know that. I did see Ted Neely's production when it came to Syracuse, NY and they had a different guy playing Simon.

Yes I absolutely agree with you! Extremely well done. I'm a Tedhead. Have been since I was 6 years old.

JCS is one of my fave shows, and this is, on the whole, one of the best vids I've seen of the show. I have some issues here and there, but overall, I think it's fantastic. And I've seen MANY!

It's a fantastic show, I agree.

thak you very much for your words, happy easter!

Among the many controversies that the musical produced there is the one on the’absence of the resurrection: it, in fact, ends with the crucifixion, after which the troupe of actors goes back on the bus hippie to go home. You can try, however, to read this scene differently: in the finale the protagonists who really had a contact with Jesus, show a different attitude than the other actors. You see Barry Dennen (Pilate) who, right on the threshold of the’abitacle, stops thoughtfully, turning for a few moments towards the cross; similarly, with sadness in his face, Yvonne Elliman (Mary Magdalene); lastly Carl Anderson (Jude) stares at the cross for a long time, looking at the cross, even when the van leaves through the dusty streets, it is noticed that Ted Neeley (Jesus) is not present among the actors who return and, at the same time, the final’ framing at sunset, shows how the cross is devoid of the figure of Jesus. At some point, one glimpses into the distance, like a’ombra, a shepherd who, slowly, leads a flock: a’image that evokes «I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep» (Jn 10:11). During the film, there are several scenes in which a flock is framed: the most intense one represents Judas who, just after betraying Jesus in the last supper, runs away scattering a flock of reddish color, with a, like the blood that will be shed. Now, in the’last framing, the cross is empty, the flock is reassembled and those who have had a’experience with Jesus are no longer the same: but these are the disruptive and intimate effects of the Resurrection. I'm sorry for my English (translate)

Thank you!!

Agreed absolutely

JCSS always had modern clothing, don’t know what everyone is bitching about. I mean the movie from the 70s had freakin tanks and machine guns....

Beautiful statement.

@@matthewsmith3078 Yes, that movie was soooo tacky and cheap.

@@paultaurone5634 yeah. That’s part of the charm.

I am a born again Christian and feel that this brings the gospel to younger people

Idem

It's not accent that is most important, it is intonation. Intonation, the rhythm of the sentence, is extremely important in English. The meaning of a sentence often depends on the stress pattern. In this production, it is a simple fact that the intonation is often wrong.

As a singer, I have to disagree, I think... I don't really think anyone here had a problem with their accents. I certainly didn't. They're Italians singing in English. What do you expect? But when a singer is given a leading role, it is her responsibility to at the very least, get the pronunciation right. The woman who played Mary had a lovely voice, good interpretation of the lyrics and expressive acting skills. But her apparent inability to pronounce "th" was terribly distracting. It's some-thing, not some-tink. That's not her accent. That is simply mispronunciation and should have been corrected. Caiaphas's extra syllable in every phrase was his accent, but at least most of his pronunciation was correct. 😉

That's pretty dang cool! My first time seeing JC Superstar was in a Presbyterian Cathedral in Salt Lake City, Utah around 1987/88. The effect inside the cathedral with the stained glass and pews was quite surreal. I was maybe 18/19. Blew my mind! It is oddly still relevant.

in the 60s...? the musical was written in the 70s....

Thanks so much...

Era vietato 🚫 ai minori di quattordici anni altrimenti sarei andata al cinema a vedere la sua vita

La sua storia già la conoscevo ma volevo approfondire la materia. Non come ce la raccontano al catechismo

A mi también me encanta esta versión. Es una de las versiónes que elencos de otros paises (en este caso, Italia) hablan Inglés. Hacen un grán esfuerzo en este trabajo.

Thank you so much...

Well said very true.

Wow. What a refreshing attitude. Brava! Bravisima!!! 👏

I love him! His name is Christian Gravinas. Wonderful artist!

In wich other musicals dind you watch them? Thanks

@@OdileClio I saw Brunella and Christian in "I Promessi Sposi - Opera Moderna" and Giorgio in "La Divina Commedia - Opera Musical", which are both adaptations of Italian literary masterpieces!

Wow I wish I could. My city's Broadway Theatre League will be doing here soon and I will get tickets. I was a senior in HS when the album came out. This is a good production...I agree with u.

Yeah I really liked it also

No one beats ted!

@@christopherdirham4471 Steve Balsamo did by miles...but I did also like Ted in the movie, not so good when he tried live though, anybody that went to see Steve will know just how magical it was.

@@malcolmstockbridge2569 I just checked that out. Mad. Nailed it balls out and cried. Amaze

@@christopherdirham4471 I saw him do it live 47 times in London...he cried every time :)

You must be a low IQ fool. Ian Gillan is the GOAT. Neely sucks. This guy sucks. No one can touch Ian Gillan.

@@bradhuskers We have opinions, chill out. I prefer Ian Gillan and Ted Neeley but that doesn't mean you get to shit on other people's likings.

Please listen the spanish version Camilo Sesto

I have the 1970 recording with Ian Gillan, who in my opinion is much better. I was very disappointed with Neeley in the movie. At the time, I thought that the actor who played St Peter, Philip Toubus, would have been better as Jesus. Little did I know that Philip Toubus, also known as Paul Thomas, would go on to become a major actor and director of pornographic films.

@@khamari...9175 Well said. 😉

Agreed. I just noticed it a while through the show.

Ik nobody ever really thinks that in real life the Romans would’ve had Italian accents. There really pretty on all the other singers as well

thank you very much!

@@franz73ify Frank, have you ever performed in Vancouver BC?

@@gypsyblack5994 no I don't but how I wish!!!

@@gypsyblack5994 no I don't but how I wish!!

@@franz73ify Great! I will get back to you about this soon.

It's OK to be honest.

lets dance

Thank you so much...

The voices were not spot on, but most of that is the non-native english speakers thing.

not sure what you are asking for, is it that with our prayers JESUS would not have suffered pain on the Cross and that his death would have been peaceful? I also hate the idea of Jesus' Passion and Crucifixion, wish I could change that

@@jerryg3524 Hi Crazy idea our prayers would ease Christ's suffering on the cross!!! ON the contrary! It was His suffering on the cross that paid the price of our salvation from hell! No way could it have been otherwise! That's what He agonized over in Gethsemane. Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.

@@toosiyabrandt8676 Hi, yes idea a bit crazy. What your write is traditional Christian Church teaching. I think I understand what Yoga raver BPH is asking, that is, that we miraculously make Yeshua's Passion less cruel through prayer. I personally wish Christ had not bought our salvation in such a terrible way. Whether he was or was not the personification of Israel as the Suffering Servant (Isaiah, 52-53) it does upset me a lot

@@jerryg3524 Making His death less cruel through our prayers? Good interpretation. Yes, if that were possible, many more might have the tendency to pray. Nice thought, anyway.

Lol, good work. I've 'listened' to it, back to front, no pauses, mmmm 300, 400 times maybe

With Ian Gillam, yeah?

With all due respect to this cast and crew, I'd like to suggest you broaden your horizons a bit. 😉

Yes!

Yes, he is beautiful. I'm hooked!
