Christmas 2022. STANDING OVATION! You're damn right! I've been obsessed with JCS since 1969, and have seen every recorded production I could get my hands on, and this one was amongst the best. I refuse to believe that this was anything other than a PROFESSIONAL endeavor. Kudos to everyone involved. The director directed the hell out of this. The timing, a crucial aspect, was right on. And the emotions of the ensemble were genuine, making the entire production MAGICAL. Everyone involved should be very proud. And thank you for presenting this.
I feel really bad for Simon. I was sick for a performance once, and I couldn't hit anything above an E. It just really stinks to work for months towards such a small performance window to display your talents and hard work... Only to have it all ruined last minute by an untimely sickness. It's one of the most frustrating feelings in the world.
My God, this was fantastic. When Judas grasped Jesus in a hug at the end of The Last Supper I sobbed. So painful. So tormented. So real. I know this comment comes at the end of 2022, but I was incredibly surprised and moved at this performance. Bravo.
I watched over 10 amateur performances on UA-cam over the last week, and dozens in my life for 20 years that I am a devoted fan of JCS. It is very clear that this one is the best sounding amateur production among ALL. I can't believe they gathered so many WORLD tier voices. Even a "soldier" sings better than half of main characters in many other productions, holy molly!
Wow! I watched because the comments were positive but I was not expecting it to be so good! Judas, Jesus and Mary are fantastic singers who could teach one thing or two to the pros. Thank you so much for uploading! Regards from the BC Sunshine Coast..💙
Was hoping I cold find an OCU production online since Im going there next year to study Music Theatre. Holy crap this is good. ITS SO HIGH, the males are in the rafters. Mad respect to anyone who would even attempt this stuff.
I would like to pay tribute to two of our brothers in this production. Tevyn Hill and Michael Schafer. We love you and you are still a part of our hearts and artistry. We will never forget y’all or your legacy.
Having played in the pit in a way off Broadway production, I have to say it is one of the more challenging scores to perform well..... After watching it twice....I have to say this is much better then the current Broadway production!! I have much respect for the cast!
Wow, what an amazing show! I have to say this is one of the best productions I've seen of it so far! And that includes that 2000 version done by professionals! I'm saving this because it's so well done!
Brilliant Chorus work backing up some excellent Lead players with a few sour notes here&there but that might just be recording sound quality too. The Wizard's congratz and I give you guys 4 1/2 out of 5 !!!!! Points Great energy guys .....Amen
Nice cast!! Judas sounds amazing on 'heaven on their minds' and 'Damned for all time'. Jesus on the 'Gethsemane' high notes = WOW. And loved the king Herod scene! Caiaphas and the priests were also wonderful! One question: Why did they cut the Hosanna song? Just wondering....
Sarahi Gomez "Hosanna" as sung here is faithful to the original as performed on Broadway (I saw it in 1970) The longer version came about when the film version was made in 1973 and is what is USUALLY sung in modern productions. This EXCELLENT production probably wanted to remain closer to the original format (a wise decision!)
herods rocks... simmon zelotes seemed as he was losing his voice... madaleine is gorgeous... over all, very moving...a truly lovely work.. congrats to all envolved...
Colin. Killed it, bro. Anderson is fantastic. Very different than hat I'm currently used to, but everyone's different than MAB. I wish Simon wasn't sick, I'm sure he's got a killer voice! Sorry, just got curious about y'all's production!
This a really great performance! I don't mean this as a bad thing, but the actor playing Judas reminds me of David Cross playing Tobias Funke on Arressted Development. I can't help but think Tobias would love to play the part as well as this actor :)
I’m pretty confused as to how they managed to find these absolutely killer vocalists, and then failed to direct a good show around that. If you took away the video from this, and just had the audio I’d say “my gosh, I can’t believe a college production pulled this off” But then I watched the acting, choreography, and blocking. The lighting designer is doing a good job. The set designer did an admirable job as well. But that’s it. The costuming is real bad. You can’t pick your main characters out of a crowd. There are WAY too many people on stage most of the time. I’m trying to wrap my mind around how the immense talent on display here from the actors,(not to mention the budget) went completely squandered by the directors, and faculty. (If people are laughing during this show, you’ve missed the mark) Again props to the students.
Ex👏act👏ly👏They honestly sound pretty good but the choreography/direction is incredibly boring and the costumes make my eyes hurt trying to find Judas or Simon among the crowd.
The guy playing Pilate was awesome. Wow. I was also a big fan of this Jesus and Herod. I felt bad for Simon, being ill for a performance must be frustating. Judas' voice was great, but his acting was a little off in my opinion. All in all this was very impressive though!
Sorry I'm like 7 years late! You're probably refering to a technique popular in musical theatre and live performances called stolen time. You take some beats from one portion of a rest for vocals but must return it to maintain pace with the song. It just adds a vocalists personal style to a song to better reflect how they feel or to showcase some of their skills.
Because the Disciples are dumb AF and didn't get the slightest hint of what have just happened and the just want to party and enjoy (nothing wrong with that!)
kevin chagnot You were there? A lot of theological scholarship has been devoted to Judas' motivations....everything from a money-hungry traitor to the one convinced by Jesus himself to aid in fulfilling the mission. The gnostic gospels speak a different tale of Judas, though there are issues with their authenticity. If you are going to be at odds with anything in this musical, why not be at odds with Jesus' apparent fatigue, irritability and doubts about his own mission (which, I personally, find a fascinating hypothesis)
Gerard Young our will is only bound to Sinful desires.... sin is what causes our slavery, before Christ we were slaves to sin with Christ we are counted as heirs with him to the covenants that were given to Abraham, Judas cared only for money that was all Jesus called Judas a devil among them
Laste kohustustest vanemate vastu 31 Lapsed, kuulge mind, oma isa, ja tehke nõnda, et teie käsi hästi käiks! 2 Sest Issand tahab, et lapsed austaksid isa, ja on kinnitanud ema meelevalla poegade üle. 3 Kes isast lugu peab, lepitab oma patte, 4 ja ema austaja on varanduse talletajaga sarnane. 5 Kes isast lugu peab, tunneb rõõmu oma lastest, ja päeval, mil ta palvetab, võetakse teda kuulda. 6 Kes isa austab, sellel on pikk iga, ja kes Issanda sõna kuuleb, laseb ema puhata, 7 ja ta teenib oma vanemaid otsekui isandaid. 8 Teo ja sõnaga austa oma isa, et sinule tuleks tema õnnistus! 9 Sest isa õnnistus kindlustab laste kodasid, ema needmine aga lammutab nende alusmüürid. 10 Ära otsi enesele au oma isa häbist, sest isa häbi ei ole sulle auks! 11 Sest inimese au tuleb tema isa auväärsusest ja autu ema on lastele teotuseks. 12 Laps, aita oma isa tema vanas eas ja ära kurvasta teda, niikaua kui ta elab! 13 Ja isegi kui ta mõistus kahaneb, siis saa sellest aru, ja ära põlga teda, kui ise oled täies jõus! 14 Sest heategu isa vastu ei unustata ja arvestatakse sinu kasuks, olgugi sul patte. 15 Sinu viletsuspäeval meenutatakse sind: nagu päikesepaistel jää, nõnda sulavad su patud. 16 Isa hülgaja on otsekui jumalateotaja ja Issand neab seda, kes oma ema vihastab. Alandlikkusest 17 Laps, oma tööd tee tasase meelega, siis armastavad sind Jumalale armsad inimesed! 18 Mida suurem sa oled, seda rohkem alanda ennast, siis leiad armu Issanda ees! 20 Sest Issanda võim on suur ja alandlikud austavad teda. 21 Ära otsi, mis sulle on liiga raske, ja ära uuri, mis sulle ei ole jõukohane! 22 Mõtle sellele, mida sul on kästud teha, sest mis on salajas, see ei ole sinu jaoks! 23 Mis ei ole sinu töö, sellega ära ennast asjata vaeva, sest sinule on ju näidatud rohkem, kui inimesed suudavad mõista! 24 Sest paljusid on eksitanud nende enda arvamus ja vale kujutlus on rikkunud nende mõtlemise. Kõrkusest 26 Kõval südamel läheb lõpuks halvasti ja kes armastab hädaohtu, see hukkub selles. 27 Kõva süda koormatakse valudega ja patune lisab patule patu. 28 Katsumus ei ole kõrgile raviks, sest temas on juurdunud kurjuse taim. 29 Mõistliku süda mõtiskleb tähendamissõnade üle ja targa igatsuseks on kuulev kõrv. Armastus vaeste vastu 30 Vesi kustutab leegitseva tule ja heategevus lepitab patte. 31 Kes heategusid tasub, mõtleb tulevikule ja leiab enesele tuge languse ajal.
I hate hearing ppl screech to hit notes that aren't in their range. These characters were written for certain ppl in mind, so anyone playing Jesus or judas should sing the roles more like themselves x not copying anyone they've heard bc they just sound cringey...like these dudes. But the ensemble was decent and...yeah, that's all I got.

Usually college casts are awful. This was really brilliant though. Great voices, great acting.

Incredible!! You all should be proud; you looked and sounded like pros. And Jesus took me to church with Gethsemane...wow!!!
Was hoping I cold find an OCU production online since Im going there next year to study Music Theatre. Holy crap this is good. ITS SO HIGH, the males are in the rafters. Mad respect to anyone who would even attempt this stuff.
i think this is the first performance of this show in which I can understand the ensemble. GREAT JOB!!!!
You guys have some incredible singers.
Yeah Simon had laryngitis AND bronchitis that weekend haha sucks but it happens!
I live for the disciples harmonies in The Last Supper!!!! 🙌🏾
I would like to pay tribute to two of our brothers in this production. Tevyn Hill and Michael Schafer. We love you and you are still a part of our hearts and artistry. We will never forget y’all or your legacy.
Two of the most talented people I’ve ever known!
.... Great performances, love Judas, Jesus and Mary. Great Orchestra and love the stage design and stage direction. Brilliant.
This is fantastic. As a student of musical theatre, seeing a performance like this really helps give me ideas for characters
Having played in the pit in a way off Broadway production, I have to say it is one of the more challenging scores to perform well..... After watching it twice....I have to say this is much better then the current Broadway production!! I have much respect for the cast!
wonderful at all
As much as I love JCS I can't believe I just ran into this in 2019. Perfect? No. Loved? Damn what a great performance!!
Wow, what an amazing show! I have to say this is one of the best productions I've seen of it so far! And that includes that 2000 version done by professionals! I'm saving this because it's so well done!
Totally agree!!! So much energy and precision!! Love this !! Thx
This sounds kind of nerdy, but your lighting design is amazing! This performance seems so professional! Well done! :)
Brilliant Chorus work backing up some excellent Lead players with a few sour notes here&there but that might just be recording sound quality too. The Wizard's congratz and I give you guys 4 1/2 out of 5 !!!!! Points Great energy guys .....Amen
Every time I see people talking in the background, I wonder what they're saying.
LOVED your performance! Our community theatre just did this one, and yours was awesome. Much respect for all aspects, especially the choreography.
What in professional production! Incredible cast!!!
Nice cast!! Judas sounds amazing on 'heaven on their minds' and 'Damned for all time'. Jesus on the 'Gethsemane' high notes = WOW. And loved the king Herod scene! Caiaphas and the priests were also wonderful! One question: Why did they cut the Hosanna song? Just wondering....

Wow! I didn't know that!! Thank you! :3
Gesù e Giuda strepitosi. Tutto il cast voci straordinarie. Bravissimi
herods rocks... simmon zelotes seemed as he was losing his voice... madaleine is gorgeous... over all, very moving...a truly lovely work.. congrats to all envolved...
This is incredible! I did not expect the amazing vocal talents that are on display here!
What an amazing and talented cast!!! Bravo!!!
Very impressive!
Amazing!
Oh, shit, sorry, Anderson, I just realized that this is yours. You betta work those high notes!
What a great voice you have!
VERY WELL DONE, young people! I thoroughly enjoyed the performance! VERY professional!!
Nicely done!
Colin. Killed it, bro. Anderson is fantastic. Very different than hat I'm currently used to, but everyone's different than MAB. I wish Simon wasn't sick, I'm sure he's got a killer voice! Sorry, just got curious about y'all's production!
Amazing I'm in the show in July
Fantastic rendition.
this is really good great job you guys
LOVE IT
not bad not bad not bad
Beautiful performance. Gethsemane was amazing.
Judas is fucking amazing
Thank you :)
Wow !! 👏
Bravo x infinity
Jesus was GREAT at the temple..wowie
It’s Insane, right? I show it to all my friends.
Nice Job!... Happy Easter 2016 to ALL!...Hail the Prince of Peace!
молодцы!!!я в восторге!!!
I’m so happy to find this video. Thank you very much for sharing! What kind of camera did you use?
52:48 Gethsemane
best jesus ive seen actually
College?Amazingly professional!!
This a really great performance! I don't mean this as a bad thing, but the actor playing Judas reminds me of David Cross playing Tobias Funke on Arressted Development. I can't help but think Tobias would love to play the part as well as this actor :)
Jesus Christ superstar
Whos the guy 25.21 front row third from the right? he is adorable!!! so much energy and such a pleasure to watch...born to be on stage!!!
I hope you don't mean the guy singing who shattered the windows
Colin Anderson must get a job on Broadway. He's obviously one of the better vocalists in the world.
beautiful rendition, although not much in the rock opera direction, but still very moving...
I’m pretty confused as to how they managed to find these absolutely killer vocalists, and then failed to direct a good show around that. If you took away the video from this, and just had the audio I’d say “my gosh, I can’t believe a college production pulled this off”

Again props to the students.
Ex👏act👏ly👏They honestly sound pretty good but the choreography/direction is incredibly boring and the costumes make my eyes hurt trying to find Judas or Simon among the crowd.
how would we find it?
Judas and Jesus sound alike. Are they brothers?
Great performance. Too bad someone couldn't have done a more professional recording of this.
omg i'm from oklahoma dfniadbj
The guy playing Pilate was awesome. Wow.
I was also a big fan of this Jesus and Herod. I felt bad for Simon, being ill for a performance must be frustating. Judas' voice was great, but his acting was a little off in my opinion. All in all this was very impressive though!
Good production with some very good singer...just one thing I don't understand : why some of them need to change the rythm of lyrics when singing ?
Sorry I'm like 7 years late! You're probably refering to a technique popular in musical theatre and live performances called stolen time. You take some beats from one portion of a rest for vocals but must return it to maintain pace with the song. It just adds a vocalists personal style to a song to better reflect how they feel or to showcase some of their skills.
Sorry. Just noticed you are Jesus. Is Colin your brother?
Lol at Mary applying beard oil to Jesus instead of anointing his feet or hands LMAO
Judas has a great voice, but Heaven on Their Minds is too nice. Lacks the oomph of Anderson, and English.
He sounds like Ted neeley
Lol :)
too bad we didn't celebrate holy week in my place
i hope the cast is chanting heil havoc when jesus gets whipped
zelotes ?
simon....
2018 one was way better
Says the guy with the picture of a bald eagle in front of an american flag.
alot of the movement in the overtrue dosnt fit with the music and that pisses me off
Why do people laugh at 59:19?
the disciples are drunk
but the audience could have seen that and laughed before Judas started to sing
Because the Disciples are dumb AF and didn't get the slightest hint of what have just happened and the just want to party and enjoy (nothing wrong with that!)
Just put Ian Rowles in the search box. Or click on my name and click on videos.
most of voices are better htan a JC's... sorry))
the only prob with JC superstar is that it makes Judas out to be more innocent then he was

Simon was terrible. Laryngitis or not, you gotta adjust vocally. I'm embarrassed for the kid bc this is on the Internet...forever.
Right? It's ridiculous.
Simon Zealotes was dreadful.
altpapapi he was good, but they should have changed some noted so he could sing it better
I'll stick with dreadful.
Excello he was sick
Laste kohustustest vanemate vastu
31 Lapsed, kuulge mind, oma isa,
ja tehke nõnda, et teie käsi hästi käiks!
2 Sest Issand tahab, et lapsed austaksid isa,
ja on kinnitanud ema meelevalla poegade üle.
3 Kes isast lugu peab, lepitab oma patte,
4 ja ema austaja on varanduse talletajaga sarnane.
5 Kes isast lugu peab, tunneb rõõmu oma lastest,
ja päeval, mil ta palvetab, võetakse teda kuulda.
6 Kes isa austab, sellel on pikk iga,
ja kes Issanda sõna kuuleb, laseb ema puhata,
7 ja ta teenib oma vanemaid otsekui isandaid.
8 Teo ja sõnaga austa oma isa,
et sinule tuleks tema õnnistus!
9 Sest isa õnnistus kindlustab laste kodasid,
ema needmine aga lammutab nende alusmüürid.
10 Ära otsi enesele au oma isa häbist,
sest isa häbi ei ole sulle auks!
11 Sest inimese au tuleb tema isa auväärsusest
ja autu ema on lastele teotuseks.
12 Laps, aita oma isa tema vanas eas
ja ära kurvasta teda, niikaua kui ta elab!
13 Ja isegi kui ta mõistus kahaneb,
siis saa sellest aru,
ja ära põlga teda, kui ise oled täies jõus!
14 Sest heategu isa vastu ei unustata
ja arvestatakse sinu kasuks,
olgugi sul patte.
15 Sinu viletsuspäeval meenutatakse sind:
nagu päikesepaistel jää,
nõnda sulavad su patud.
16 Isa hülgaja on otsekui jumalateotaja
ja Issand neab seda, kes oma ema vihastab.
Alandlikkusest
17 Laps, oma tööd tee tasase meelega,
siis armastavad sind Jumalale armsad inimesed!
18 Mida suurem sa oled,
seda rohkem alanda ennast,
siis leiad armu Issanda ees!
20 Sest Issanda võim on suur
ja alandlikud austavad teda.
21 Ära otsi, mis sulle on liiga raske,
ja ära uuri, mis sulle ei ole jõukohane!
22 Mõtle sellele,
mida sul on kästud teha,
sest mis on salajas,
see ei ole sinu jaoks!
23 Mis ei ole sinu töö,
sellega ära ennast asjata vaeva,
sest sinule on ju näidatud rohkem,
kui inimesed suudavad mõista!
24 Sest paljusid on eksitanud nende enda arvamus
ja vale kujutlus on rikkunud nende mõtlemise.
Kõrkusest
26 Kõval südamel läheb lõpuks halvasti
ja kes armastab hädaohtu, see hukkub selles.
27 Kõva süda koormatakse valudega
ja patune lisab patule patu.
28 Katsumus ei ole kõrgile raviks,
sest temas on juurdunud kurjuse taim.
29 Mõistliku süda mõtiskleb tähendamissõnade üle
ja targa igatsuseks on kuulev kõrv.
Armastus vaeste vastu
30 Vesi kustutab leegitseva tule
ja heategevus lepitab patte.
31 Kes heategusid tasub, mõtleb tulevikule
ja leiab enesele tuge languse ajal.
Um what?
As for the show, really impressive vocals for a student production. (Someone stop me from watching all the JCS videos I can find.... ;-))
I hate hearing ppl screech to hit notes that aren't in their range.
