----------
A global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for over 40 years, Jesus Christ Superstar is a timeless work set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
It was the first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage and first came to major theatres when it debuted on Broadway in October 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre in New York.
Less than 12 months after the Broadway show opened, the rock spectacle went to London, exploding onto the West End at the Palace Theatre in August 1972 in a hugely successful production. By 1980, after 3,358 performances, Jesus Christ Superstar had become the longest running musical in West End history at the time and grossed $12.3 million.
In all, Jesus Christ Superstar has grossed over $205 million and has been professionally produced in 42 countries around the world!

@Sexgod 69 Herod was also someone who was intrigued by prophets and was keen to hear what John the Baptist had to say before his wife tricked him into having him executed. The only reason he sends him back to Pilate is because Jesus won't indulge him and probably after the crap he had to take for killing the Baptist he isn't likely to want to have another popular prophet executed especially since (as some of the Gospels say) he found Jesus innocent.

I love Jesus' acting here, especially the part when Herod screams "Aren't you scared of me, Christ?" and Jesus just sits there, as if saying "No, sorry. You tried, but no. If anything I feel sorry for you". This is where Herod loses his temper and sends him away. He's reduced to powerlessness by a simple look.

@@lgmmrm your initial comment indicates that Herod (assumedly referring to Antipas) was deceiving the people he ruled by being a gentile and holding contempt toward them. If you really meant this only on an ethnic basis then sure, it would be wrong to call the Herods fully Jewish. But I don't think this is a particularly useful definition of Jewish identity. After all, the Ancient Israelites were ethnically just Canaanites. But beyond this semantics point, it is entirely baseless and out of line with history to say that Antipas "hated Jews." The archaeology and historical data alike point to the Herods as being practicing Jews with great sympathy toward the people of Judea while also recognizing the insurmountability of Roman rule.

As someone performing Herod's song, I find that this is surprisingly powerful source material. Rik Mayall infuses such an arrogant, sinister showmanship that is sorely lacking in a lot of productions, and the vaudevillian choreography and music makes for a powerhouse compared to the '73 version's fleeting impact. Mayall is ripping apart the scenery with his bare teeth! Can't wait to infuse some of that Napoleon complex into my performance!

I have seen a few different versions now and Rik Mayall is the only one who I think does it right. All the other versions seem to focus on the flashiness and "silliness" of Herod. Rik Mayall seems genuinely threatening, while also being flashy. He doesn't just get across the "you're a liar" vibe which quite a lot of versions fail to do incidentally. Rik does more of a "you're a liar and I'm actually cross about it, blasphemer" version.

I have to give props to the actor playing Jesus here. That transition from confusion/fear/disgust to a more peaceful expression starting at 2:10 is great - I think Jesus knows *exactly* what He's watching here. He knows Herod isn't interested in Him at all, and when Herod finally shows that he's just being insolent and gets down to the underlying cynicism, Jesus's look becomes pretty serene for a man who has just been effectively condemned to death. Why? Well, it's because Herod is finally showing his true colors, and that's what Jesus knew was going to happen the entire time - and what would lead to the cross in the end, which was the whole point of what was being disguised by this ridiculous show. TL;DR, Jesus didn't need to say anything in this and we can still see that He knows exactly what is going on, and that is awesome.

Sergei and Chloe really helped me realize how great this rendition is - these 2 actors get the emotions really right. Herod shows curiosity for the miracles,sliminess, anger, entitlement, superiority, and psychoness, This Jesus beats every Jesus in this song, in other renditions He looks like a mute or a whipped puppy but not here - He totally controls Herod - by pity, contempt, sadness at his stupidity. And best of all - courage - notice Jesus stares Herod down when he says " Are you scared of me Christ?"

Jesus, I am overjoyed To meet You face to face You've been getting quite a name All around the place Healing cripples Raising from the dead And now I understand You're God At least that's what You've said So You are the Christ You're the great Jesus Christ Prove to me that You're divine Change my water into wine That's all You need do And I'll know it's all true C'mon King of the Jews Jesus, You just won't believe The hit You've made around here You are all we talk about The wonder of the year Oh, what a pity If it's all a lie Still I'm sure that You can rock The cynics if You try So if You are the Christ You're the great Jesus Christ Prove to me that You're no fool Walk across my swimming pool If You do that for me Then I'll let You go free C'mon, King of the Jews I only ask things I'd ask any superstar What is it that You have got That puts You where You are? I am waiting, yes, I'm a captive fan I'm dying to be shown That You are not just any man So if You are the Christ Yes, the great Jesus Christ Feed my household with this bread You can do it on Your head Or has something gone wrong? Why do You take so long? Come on, King of the Jews Hey, aren't You scared of me, Christ? Mr. Wonderful Christ You're a joke, You're not the Lord You are nothing but a fraud Take Him away He's got nothing to say Get out, You King of the, get out Get out, You King of the Jews Get out, You King of the Jews Get out of my life

I think some get lost in the voice of 'Herod' and lose the expressions. Yes, he's a petulant man child, but the eyes (great acting, this is about the CHARACTER), if you turn down the volume? Chilling. When you remember Herod wasn't just some mindless aesthete who wanted to be entertained. He ruled so brutally (in an era where executions were INTENTIONALLY as painful as possible, flogging had a numerical limit because 'more than that, and it's a death sentence) that he got removed from his post. He was also powerful (in his own territory) and seriously sadistic. He looks like he knows what he can and can't do politically, and while he won't go over that line, he's still toying with the prisoner. See about 37 seconds in, to see what I'm talking about. And Jesus being unimpressed actually makes it clear how truly powerful he is. Because a non-deity would actually have good reason TO be scared of Herod. Jesus didn't.
