Ted is the nicest man you could ever meet. I've worked with him in 3 productions of JCS. Loves his fans and truly appreciates the opportunity to play this role.
Amazed by the skill of the interviewer. Often they don't get enough credit when their job is well done, but here the interviewer deserves credit. He develops a very good rapport and understands when to let the actor take the lead and when to follow up on something and is very well informed. I hope he sees the appreciation.
I completely agree! That was my first thought after watching this: "That was a good interview!" He got a lot of good information out of Neeley, and that is the skill of the interviewer.
... 1973 cast set the bar high, others have done a good job, but this is the ultimate ... great job Ted! This is an all-time favorite of mine, sound & cinema magic.
Thank God for You tube! So good to see Ted being interviewed in the present. Love Jesus Christ Superstar, took all of my friends to see the movie as well as the LP, VHS, CD and now the DVD, never get tired of this Biblical rock opera !
I first saw this movie when I was 23. I'm 74 now. It's still my favourite movie of all time. My youngest brother and youngest uncle love it too- and we're all muslims.
Wonderful treat to stumble across this interview! I have seen the film many times, own the soundtrack, and have seen the play Broadway style (not Ted Neely in it, though) and it is my favorite musical. I ALWAYS cry, too. (Followed by Phantom of the Opera and Fiddler on the Roof)
Incredible interview! I hope one day I have the pleasure of meeting Ted. I can’t believe how well his voice has held up after 45 years! What a lovely human being. You still look and sound amazing Ted! Many blessings ❤️
Great Show! i went to the show 2 feb 2017 in The RAI. Now i want to go again to Ahoy Rotterdam in May because my mum had the flue and i took someone else with me. The show is amazing and the best i ever seen and i have been to many concerts and musicalaa.
It's MAGIC! It has also been inspiring... and will always be! You are a gifted man and your singing this part has marked the musical side of my life since 1974 (that was when I first saw the film in Greece where I lived back then). I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Wat een geweldige man en dat nog op die leeftijd!!! Petje af hoor. En ik ga hem zien in december, ik kan niet wachten. Grote fan van de film en van Ted, niet te geloven dat ik hem in het echt ga zien!!!

Ted Neely was so awesome to meet over 26 years ago in Wichita Falls Texas when his tour came through an I to go back stage and wait with his friends from Ranger Texas. We talked for a little bit and even had a small chance to audition. For a role on the tour. Alas I didn't audition mainly because my graduation from college was with in a month or so. He was soooooo nice, friendly and kind to me a devoted fan of his since the age of 7. Thank you for that moment Ted. It is a highlight memory of a documentary I'm working on ...much love if you ever read this.
I was only 11 or 12 years old when I got the album released in Belgium same year or one year later When I divorced in 1985 my ex-wife took this album with her, never saw it back because I would have let it sign by Ted Neeley himself when he came to Belgium. My father said the film was blasfemy, my mother and I loved it so much we went to the cinema together to see this musical....still great music to listen to even after almost fifty years later;
Such fond memories! When the movie came out my sister snuck me out to see it - and when my parents found out they have a fit!! lol we both got grounded but it was worth it!
raar om dit te zien. Ted Neely is iemand die al zeker 40 jaar deel uitmaakt van mijn leven, tenminste, in zijn rollen dan. we hadden de plaat, later de video, nog later de dvd en de cd's... ieder jaar blij als JCS op de tv komt. na JC bleven wij hem volgen en waren steeds blij als we hem in een of andere film of tv serie herkenden. en nu ga ik hem dan eindelijk live zien, december in Den Haag. ik vraag me af of hij wel weet wat een impact hij heeft gehad op heel veel mensen....
Creio que Ted Neeley nunca poderá ser uma pessoa má pke foi uma responsabilidade mto grande. Vi o filme pelo menos umas 10 vezes e fazia por ser na época da Páscoa. Era bom! Ainda dou uma "espreita" mas ficou tdo na m cabeça creio! Adorei!
The movie, Jesus Christ Superstar, was the catalyst to my understanding of Jesus's sacrifice for our sins. All of a sudden Jesus crucifixion was unbelievably real, and at the tender age of 14 it hit my soul like a freight train. It was the beginning for my true enlightenment of the Gospels, and I have been learning ever since.
Ted best Jesus ever, in my mind I pictured Jesus exactly like him when I was a kid.... and his talent is so incredible, might as well be Jesus himself.,,
JCS is how I learned about Jesus. I was in my early 30's! I cry to this day when I see anything related to this show. Blasphemy is in the eye of the beholder. Who are we to judge?
“ Have to know I have to know my lord, have to know I have to know my lord ..... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY should I die Ohhhhhh why should I die .....”. Gives me the goose bumps every time I hear Ted’s scream “ Why”.
Youre so right Kevin. Im sure GOD is pleased, somewhat, apart from the hip music. But thats a way of getting through to the younger people. Thanks for your comment, Kevin.

Ted is the nicest man you could ever meet. I've worked with him in 3 productions of JCS. Loves his fans and truly appreciates the opportunity to play this role.
What years? I toured with the show on two productions. Ted was in one. ( David Cassidy in the other). Ted lived it every show.
What an eloquent and articulate man he is, a good old Texan at that. So interesting to listen to him speak. The best Jesus ever.
Ted- im a big fan. No matter how many remakes they make, none compare to the original. From a Texan to another Texan a big hug to you.
Ted seems like the loveliest person ever, I love him and his talent is incredible

Yeah, screaming so bad and awful is a really talent...

Was blessed to see him in Denver Colorado around 10 years ago. It was the most amazing theater experience of my life. Thank you Ted Neeley.
I've listened and watched JCS since my childhood, and it's still enchanting now. What a beautiful man, then and now!
Wat een geweldige man en dat nog op die leeftijd!!! Petje af hoor.
En ik ga hem zien in december, ik kan niet wachten.
Grote fan van de film en van Ted, niet te geloven dat ik hem in het echt ga zien!!!

Ted, my family and I saw you live as Jesus Christ. An amazing show! We all listened to the album for months before to know the songs and the story.
Ted is just incredible and his voice is perfect for his part in the movie. The only JCS!
I love you, Ted!
Thank you!My 1st rock opera experience this film was, love it :)
I saw him on Good Friday. Very moving. Feeling thankful that I could see him in JCS live.
Heerlijk wat een show, wat een cast. Ted neeley mogen ontmoeten, aardig en bescheiden!

Nothing but respect and love for Ted Neeley.

Wat een leuk interview. en wat een geweldige man is Ted Neeley.
YOU ARE AWESOME ACTOR AND A BLESSING TO SEE YOU PERFORM.....THANK YOU
wonderful interview..such an insightful man and perfectly suited for the role.
O, o, o! Nog 10 nachtjes slapen en dan gaan we!!!!! Heb de show al eerder live gezien, maar nog nooit Ted Neeley! Kan niet wachten!!!
I was only 11 or 12 years old when I got the album released in Belgium same year or one year later

himself when he came to Belgium. My father said the film was blasfemy, my mother and I loved it so much we went to the cinema together to see this musical....still great music to listen to even after almost fifty years later;
If someday you come to Brazil, i won't miss for anything!!
love him
Such fond memories! When the movie came out my sister snuck me out to see it - and when my parents found out they have a fit!! lol we both got grounded but it was worth it!
Excellent interview!
Should've been nom for multiple Oscars, Ted is EXCELLENT, and we should all try and be like CHRIST!!!
Ted Neeley is just incredible!
what a power house voice!
what a cool man!
I love this guy.
I'd give almost anything to see this live with ted!!
WHAT an incredible man.
Ik hoop zo dat ik hem zondag mag ontmoeten....

I have been in love with him since this movie came out.
What a cool dude.

Ted has aged well and is well spoken .
I remeber your album..helped me a lot..you may not be religious..but I sure am now
Lauren Bennett You got the TRUE message of it. The love & magic of J.C.S. is in it's songs & dances.*
Godbless all peoples*
Lauren Bennett you're very wrong, Ted has a deep spiritual background. But I agree he's the best!! Religious or not
still a handsome man!
Whahaha
Please come to Japan!! We do want to see you singing Gethsemane on stage. Ted, please----!!!!
He was in both Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair - my two favourites!
Seeing Ted Neeley live in JCSS* was My Dream come true. Very little compares to it.
Ik ga op 13 december, ik kan niet wachten :D

Ted was perfect for the role especially when he sang Gethsemane. 🌹🙏✌️
hij was echt geweldig!
The one and only. Ciao Ted!
I want to watch this movie again they took it off youtube :( :( :( :(
For a second I thought the video description said he died in December 2015. I have never googled anything so fast. Thank Jesus!
✨Thank You ✨

Sympathieke man die Ted Neeley.
Youre so right Kevin. Im sure GOD is pleased, somewhat, apart from the hip music. But thats a way of getting through to the younger people. Thanks for your comment, Kevin.
I just learned that Ted Neeley had a small part in the movie "Django Unchained".
Yes, and he wasn't even recognized. I had to buy the movie then *pause* it to actually see him. And such a miniscule part. I wonder why. ??
@@coolchef64 WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
what a magical gentleman
Opmerkelijke gelijkenis met Roger Hodgson trouwens.
BLESS MAN
Loved the interview, but the volume at the start broke my ears! I was wearing earplugs!
Qué grande, Ted Neeley...!
Miss you ted
