If you're mad abt Cynthia Erivo being cast as Jesus I simply don't want to talk to you. This is incredible, I want to hear her Gethsemane SO FUCKING BAD like holy s h i t.

The most important thing to me is if Judas is also a woman. Because if this is not the case, the casting directors are cowards and fundamentally don't understand the text.

I speak to you this evening, JCS fans, on behalf of the Manhattan-based Utopia Opera, Ltd. I call 'em "the little light opera company that could."

Well, they're taking their first bite at a big-boy rock opera, and they chose my favorite. More than that, they engaged me as a creative consultant to help massage the production to its fullest potential. (I also wound up doing program design and layout to go for that classic Brown Album look, go me!)

To quote Stefon from Saturday Night Live, "This... has... everything!"

Prominent female(-presenting) performers as male leads! Jesus, Judas (two of them, one for a night the other has off), Caiaphas and Annas (at least one night each), Pilate (two of them, one for each weekend), two miscellaneous priests... the fun never stops!

Incredibly talented singers with impressive ranges!

A full complement of musicians! Indeed, possibly the biggest orchestra to take this on in the Big Apple since the show debuted at the Mark Hellinger over 50 years ago.

Accessibility! Every performance will be equipped with projected English surtitles!

Cheap admission! The tickets are the tightest in town, especially for New York New York, and if that's not enough...

A queer-friendly discount! March 15 is "Queer Community Night," meaning at the link above, enter the code QUEERJESUS to get discounted tickets that almost literally cut the price in half for that evening's performance.

And now for the details:

Where?

Ida K. Lang Recital Hall at Hunter College, south side of East 69th Street between Park and Lexington, New York City.

When?

The weekends of March 14-16 and March 21-23, exact times at the BrownPaperTickets link above. (If you might just buy in person, instructions are in the event description at the link as well.)

What if I can't go?

Well, you can still reward their pluck! If you can't make it physically, there's also an option at the ticket link to donate to support this fine crew in all their endeavors.

Don't let me down, people -- check it out!

Happy Easter to the gays who celebrate

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) dir. Norman Jewison

I have sinned by betraying innocent blood. (Matthew 27:4)

I have been spattered with innocent blood! (Jesus Christ Superstar, Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber)

[adamedits]

Judas, must you betray me with a kiss?

[jeronimo-verne]

God has made me unable to direct a production of Jesus Christ Superstar for a good reason (I would’ve made Jesus do a ballet number during the Crucifixion)

[mothbagel]

JCSS production where during This Jesus Must Die, Caiphas inexplicably pulls out glasses like these and puts them on when he sings "One thing I'll say for him, Jesus is cool"

I totally agree with this interpretation 10/10

*reads the Bible* “Wow I can’t believe they made a book adaptation of acclaimed Broadway musical Jesus Christ Superstar”

imagine you have an influencer bestie who works for his dad and ur a huge fan of his dad's work and have supported him forever but now he has like 1k followers and has let the fame get to his head a little. you are also in love with him. at the beggining it seemed like he liked you back but now he's been hanging out with this girl who's been cancelled and spending a lot of time with her, so you're like nooo it will harm your reputation! and he says idgaf. so you're angry because why does he have so many followers and lives off his daddy's name with no consequences??? suddenly an enemy group of influencers offer you money to reveal his passwords so they can hack into his account and delete it, this way they can be the most popular influencers. you think about it and decide it's for the greater good, perhaps this way your friend can finally be free from influencer fame and go back to his roots. he finds out about it and confronts you but it's weird because it sounds like he wants you to do it... perhaps it means he wants to be free as well? does he have the same feelings? you really miss him so you go ahead with it. also you kiss him (changing the trajectory of your lives forever). after that you give him space for a bit. turns out the enemy group of influencers aren't going to just delete his account, they're going to blackmail ur bestie and post humilliating shit on his profile, and this time his daddy isn't helping him out. so you come back and your friend is absolutely depressed, looks like shit, his posts are full of hate comments, everyone wants him to die. the guilt overtakes you so you go to a really high building and start screaming about how you love him and now you're angry at his dad because if he hadn't given his son the job then none of this would've happened. then you kill yourself. well, this happened to my buddy judas.
