    Melanie C of the Spice Girls belts out the iconic ballad, I Don't Know How To Love Him from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Jesus Christ Superstar'
    From Jesus Christ Superstar (2012): Director Laurence Connor presents this contemporary re-imagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's legendary rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar. The world renowned phenomenon portrays the story of the last seven days of Christ leading up to his crucifixion as seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Filmed as an arena rock opera, the performance features a star-studded line-up which includes award-winning musical comedian, Tim Minchin as the role of Judas Iscariot; pop icon and former Spice Girl Melanie C as Mary Magdalene; radio DJ Chris Moyles in his stage debut as King Herod; and Ben Forster, to take on the title role of Jesus. This award-winning creative team is sure to captivate audiences and transform the hugely popular stage production into a unique, modern, state-of-the-art spectacular.

    This character is too often played as a timid women in a mans world but I love this characterisation from Mel. She plays the character as words in the song describe her, a woman in control, running every show. A women of power and great strength, yet falling for Jesus in a way she has never let a man get to her before. Just a wonderful interpretation. I hope this sets the tone for all future characterisations of Mary

    • @jimtownsend7899
      @jimtownsend7899 Рік тому +8

      The whole characterization of Mary Magdalene is wrong. She wasn't a prostitute. She wasn't a fallen woman. Yes, she had been possessed by demons, and when Jesus drove them out, she became a Disciple. She was one of several affluent women who were followers and, frankly, sponsors of Jesus and His ministry. They financed Him and His Apostles. She was also ones to see Him die and the first to see Him after His Resurrection. She was devoted to Jesus and I'm convinced is sharing in His Glory in Heaven.

    This is just stunning. It starts out pretty typical, but her emotions drive a much deeper version of this than I have seen before... and the moment when she wipes off her makeup and then removes her jacket somehow tells a more meaningful story about how people are changed by Jesus than I have ever seen in JCS. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

    I ❤ this as a Catholic. I wish there r more musicals or shows about Jesus teaching the new generation about him. I love all the songs.
