Jesus: this is my blood you drink.... Judas: again with this hippy shit

I love how Judas is sat there rolling his eyes. "Yes, Jesus, we're eating your body. You fucking drama queen."

"Cut out the dramatics, you know very well who" is the greatest line of all time 😅

I love that they use their names as insults “Christ! You deserve it!” “You liar! You, Judas!” So clever!

Judas and Jesus : *couple fight* Everyone else: 👁👄👁

“You sad pathetic man” that whole section is one of my favorite moments in the entire score. And Tim absolutely crushes it!!

My favorite moments of this scene and the entire show in general: 2:04 That little "not this shit again" eye-roll 2:20 Jesus starting to become unhinged 3:12 Judas calling out Jesus 3:52 That little mocking bow 4:32 Judas almost leaving but then deciding "nah, fuck it, we're not done talking about this" 5:22 "You'd have managed better if you'd had a plan! WHY?!" The anguish in his voice especially in that last roar is just *chef's kiss*

So, hear me out. Judas seems to be looking for any reason to not betray Jesus in the first verse. Even to the point of saying "If you want this, maybe I'll stay just to spite you." But then when he realizes that Jesus really wasn't gonna fight him on this, he gets angry, frustrated, and even a little hurt leading to the second verse.

The fact that at 4:22 he is crying is what gets me. Then at 4:24, he sees Mary and stops crying. He stops himself from crying and I don't know why but I like that little fact.

Judas’ ragged “WHHHYYYY” at the end of this song has me SOBBING whenever I watch this performance

I love how this plays out like a Housewives reality tv show during the big blow up during a dinner party. You have the apostles in the middle of the two fighting that are like: “Shit, Judas-you know how dramatic Jesus can be. He didn’t mean it. Let’s just sit down and keep eating.” And when Judas comes back to start up again, they’re just like; “Fuck. Guess we’re doing this. Let’s just stay quiet and let what happens, happens.”

3:40 I swear half the plot of this musical is in the subtle little emotions between the lines. The facial expression of Judas and then that subtle little bow at 3:52 is just perfect - he's comprehended the grand plan, realizes how it will make him look, he doesn't want to do it, but will anyway because, ironically, he's the most close and loyal to Jesus.

Tim's eye roll at 2:05 when he is like "oh no, there goes even more drama" is just perfection. But also, Ben Forster's rage is particularly beautiful here. He is hands down the angriest Jesus I've watched.

Jesus casually throwing Peter is the best part of this

This is by far the best Jesus Christ Superstar I have ever seen

Tim Minchin is the best Judas in this production. His performance was believable and agonizing. He didn't just sing but acted the part as well. Tim got your attention and held on to it in all his scenes. Bravo! 👏👏👏👏

The annoyed look on judas's face at 2:05 always kills me

Oh this the version where Tim Minchin specifically told the production not to autotune his voice, and they did it anyway for this performance

The ensemble in this song is fantastic. I’ve never heard the Apostles’ lines sung so clearly with such clear harmonies. There’s something to be said for the more humble versions of the movie and even the original album, but just from a musical perspective this sounds fantastic.

3:52 very very powerful. The silent exchange between Jesus and Judas . The hurt and intense guilt ridden stare on Judas is fantastic.

Ben Forster is super underated here. Amazing vocals and acting. Let's show him some love too 🙂

They really should have never put auto tune on Judas, huge mistake. The clips of him singing the songs without it sound just fine. This is so painful to listen too. Whoever’s decision it was to do that, it was not a good one.

3:03 Poor Peter my man was just chillin’ 😭😭😂😂

Ughhhh!! The DYNAMICS between Minchin (Judas) and Forster (Jesus) is what gets me EVERY TIME I watch this production! They each bring so much to their character portrayals and play off each other perfectly! It's just SO. FREAKIN. GOOD! Come on Musical Theater!

Carl’s Judas seems to want the best for everyone. He knows that if Jesus goes down so do the apostles. “But so does Tim’s Judas. It’s the same character”. While true, Tim seems very directed towards Jesus as a friend. He doesn’t want anything bad happening to his friend. And when Jesus wants Judas to go betray him you can practically see Tim’s heart breaking which I think is fantastic acting

When judas sings the opening line to superstar... I've honestly got chills

5:28 is such a good "why". so fuckin raw. this is the only "why" that I consider to be on the level of the original 1970 version as far as memorability

5:10 is probably my favourite part of the musical in terms of music, melody and vocals

Wow... this is the first production I've seen where Judas actually outsings Jesus. He is so damn good!

The ✨harmonies✨

The look on Tim's face was as though he was going to punch Jesus' lights out for being obtuse. Well done Judas. Put the boot in.

I love how marry comforts one of the followers, they just saw their literal leader who is supposed to be all loving loose his crap and hit someone, and they need someone to help them cling on to the faith that what they're doing is good, and it's a lot like that in real life, once someone you know snaps in front of you it doesn't matter how many good things they've done in front of you, you would have a hard time looking at them the same way. Sorry if my English isn't very good it's not my native language

Jesus: I thought you were bae, turns out you're just fam Everyone: Bruh

Thinking this was more intense than a lot of renditions of this scene And then they started pushing each other and I, quite frankly, almost jumped out of my seat One of the best/coolest versions of this dynamic I've seen

One of the biggest offenses in this production is forcing Tim Minchin to use autotune.

Juda's 'why?!?!' gives me chills every time! I love Tim Minchin!

“ this is my blood you drink, this is my body you eat, if you would remember me when you eat and drink “ ( 2:03 ) that’s my favorite part ❤️ I love how he sings it

3:01 Peter was like: "Geez Jesus, was this really necessary?".

Ben Forester is truly an amazing Jesus ❤️

What annoys me most about the use of autotune is that on top of being unnecessary it's not even well excecuted autotune. Like almost all recordings have some sort of subtle pitch correction but the autotune here is so harsh and sloppily done that it's actually distracting from the actual vocals which autotune should never do. Like if this is what your audio engineer hands you after post production, fire your audio engineer they're bad at their job.

Tim's reaction at 2:28 so genuine

I like that this musical has been enjoyed by people of diff religions, and shows a bit of what christians believe while not shoving theologies in peoples faces, so people can have a common ground of understanding (meaning it allows people to understand where we come from), but it is also able to tell so many heartfelt stories, that of judas, pilate, peter, and jesus. it gets into the grit of some of it without pg-ifying it, and it was revolutionary at the time it was first made, and it was super divisive, but it seems that all the controversy has died down and people are enjoying it. also everyone in this musical has beautiful voices.

I love that Jesus pushed back.

Wow. Jesus and Judas are incredible, both in singing and stage performances. Absolutely top class!

The autotune on "my body" literally shook me out of the experience, it was so jarring! We don't need autotune for live performances, that's the point of a live performance

One of my most fav scenes from this show idk why but it hits hard-

I noticed that when he said one of you will be betray me, no one looked at Judas as if it was impossible for him to be the one to do it

I need a cast recording from this production like right now

4:30 is one of the best pieces of music in this entire show

[APOSTLES] Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine Don't disturb me now; I can see the answers Till 'this evening' is 'this morning', life is fine Always hoped that I'd be an apostle Knew that I would make it if I tried Then when we retire we can write the gospels So they'll still talk about us when we've died [JESUS] The end Is just a little harder when brought about by friends For all you care, this wine could be my blood For all you care, this bread could be my body The end! This is my blood you drink This is my body you eat If you would remember me when you eat and drink I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered - yes I must be out of my head! Look at your blank faces! My name will mean nothing Ten minutes after I'm dead! One of you denies me One of you betrays me - [APOSTLES] Not I! Who could? Impossible! [JESUS] Peter will deny me in just a few hours Three times will deny me - and that's not all I see One of you here dining, one of my twelve chosen Will leave to betray me - [JUDAS] Cut out the dramatics! You know very well who - [JESUS] Why don't you go do it? [JUDAS] You want me to do it? [JESUS] Hurry, they're waiting [JUDAS] If you knew why I do it... [JESUS] I don't care why you do it! [JUDAS] To think I admired you, for now I despise you [JESUS] You liar - you Judas [JUDAS] You want me to do it! What if I just stayed here and ruined your ambition? Christ, you deserve it! [JESUS] Hurry, you fool, hurry and go Save me your speeches, I don't wanna know - GO! [APOSTLES] Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine What's that in the bread it's gone to my head Till 'this morning' is 'this evening', life is fine Always hoped that I'd be an apostle Knew that I would make it if I tried Then when we retire we can write the gospels So they'll all talk about us when we die [JUDAS] You sad pathetic man - see where you've brought us to Our ideals die around us, all because of you And now the saddest cut of all: Someone has to turn you in Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal A jaded mandarin A jaded mandarin A jaded jaded faded mandarin [JESUS] Get out! They're waiting! Get out! They're waiting for you [JUDAS] Every time I look at you, I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned - [APOSTLES] Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine Don't disturb me now; I can see the answers Till 'this evening' is 'this morning', life is fine Always hoped that I'd be an apostle Knew that I would make it if I tried Then when we retire we can write the gospels So they'll still talk about us when we've died [JESUS] Will no-one stay awake with me? Peter? John? James? Will none of you wait with me? Peter? John? James?

4 dislikes? Looks like 4 people are jaded mandarins

The number of times I have watched this in the last five days is frankly unhealthy.

Nobody: Me: **Trying to sing Jesus and Judas at once while playing guitar, failing and deciding to actually using Ben and Tim recording, still flapping my hands on my guitar like a bird, that can't fly** 😂 The part "cut out the dramatics" has actually some quick chord changes...

please post Damned For All Time or King Herod's song they are my favorite... but yes I do love all of JCS songs thanks for uploading this!

This production should have been playing forever. Amazing.

5:10 oh my goodness. Why the autotune? Not needed. this is my favorite JCS song and the portrayal of Judas is legendary for the 2000s+ Tim owns this.

Please post “Judas’ Death”, “The Temple”, “What’s the Buzz?/Strange Thing Mystifying” & “King Herod’s Song”

My absolute favourite JCS song 🥰

there is NOTHING more spectacular than this show. wow. just wow.

No doubt the best staging of JCS!

I saw the 2018 version first and thought, holy shit this is amazing there can’t be anything better than this, then saw this version and realized how wrong I was

Have I just watched the best 7 minutes on KZfaq?

Best Jusus Christ Super Star ever, all characters.

I really like this edgy production. I saw this in the 70s in Detroit. This has so much tension. Wonderful.

I love the expressions of the apostles and disciples in the background. Their expressions suggest Judas hits a little too close to home.

This Judas is amazing!

This is easily the best production of jesus christ superstar

I know he is about to turn you in and get you crucified, but Jesus, did you really have to hit grunge Judas with the high Gethsemane note not once, but twice?! That seemed uncalled for

I have watched all small parts you share more than 30 times each. But still not enough. Please upload the whole musical for 48 hours. we need this!!!!

Wishing the Tim Minchin versions of the songs were available on iTunes, but hat way I could listen to them all the time and be constantly doubting my faith as I should be.

So no one cared about our poor boy Peter when he was nearly sent to kiss the ground at 3:01 by Jesus

I'm sorry i just find it hilarious after Judas leaves and everyone disperses like, "Yeeeeaaaa, imma head off, thanks for the free wine and the.... weirdly dramatic show :/" lol

Oh man, this makes me miss live musical productions so much.😞

I love how Well Ben and Tim Play Angry through Song ❤❤

Jesus Christ Superstar is awesome 👍😎

3:47 is always in my head

Tim can sing about Jaded Mandarines and it sounds awesome.

i didn't get a chance to see it so hopefully we can have it again?

Tim Minch and Ben Forster singing in one song is perfect 👌

Jesus: This is my blood you drink Judas: Ooohh c'mooooonnnn

“Our ideals die around us and all because of YOU” is such a cold line

No autotune , no playback , no syncs just pure voice talent ❤

This is such a great performance, but the microphones I swear are really low-quality. The singing is not as crystal-clear as it should be when they start singing more loudly. It's a shame because this is such a good production. I wish the singing would have been preserved better. Does anyone else have issues with that?

Tim was so good

Tim Minchin just has that solid perfect rock voice.

4:33 when the music changes man its soo good

Don't we all love tim's performance as Judas?

The thumbnail for this makes me laugh, Jesus' expression.

This musical is so beautiful.

the existence of the backwards NY cap in this show just cracks me up

Still extremely interesting that Mary and Jesus are dressed similarly both in terms of colour and style

One of my favourites from this show!

Wow, didn't know Tim Minchin had such a cutting voice! He did a stupendous job! Following Carl Anderson's vocal lines ain't easy.

We need Just need a compilation of all the Pilate songs in this production

I love the differences in Tim’s tone compared to other productions. An-im-AAALLL bloody beautiful

I may not like this version but i do like when Jesus starts getting pissed judas gets guilty and you can see him feeling like Jesus is talking to him directly

Powerful version. Great job and emotion comes through!

I didn’t expect me to be so emotional about this! :’(

The Movie from 1973 is really remarkable and the cast is very good. It's good to remember Lloyd Weber in 2023 and one of his masterpieces.
