@@asensicule Thanks for the recommendation! He's definitely good, but his performance leans heavily on stylization over virtuosity. Seven years later, I'm still convinced this guy is the definitive Judas.
The gold standard for this musical is not the album, but the movie version. Carl Anderson is peerless. But this singer Drew sounds amazing, and it's the only other Judas I've liked.
This is fucking rad. To me, his end of verse choices to alter the melodies ("it was beautiful but NOW it's sour") are some of the coolest parts of this. No one else sings those lines that way.
I've played Judas, in three different productions, to a fair amount of acclaim but this guy makes me look like an amatuer. The best Judas I think I've ever heard. WOW!
Drew Sarich is the very BEST!!!! No one is better....:) So that's what I call voice!!!! This rock tone in his is so great.... I am so impressed...everyday when I hear him sing, I melt away....Love is in the air
Drew Sarich is just awesome. Even though I love him in all of his roles, Jesus and Judas just fit perfectly to him. So excited to see him as Jesus in april!!!
One of my favorite I interpretations of Judas! Thehe way Drew personalizes certain parts is just amazing... 💖 Right up there with Carl Anderson and Murray Head.
Is it just me, or does it look like that while Judas is singing this, Jesus is fasting in the desert? In the Bible, this is when the Devil comes to Jesus to question His divinity and tempt Him into abusing His powers for selfish gain. And here we might have Judas signing directly to Jesus' ear as He fasts in the desert, about Jesus going down the wrong path. Brilliant!
I'm with you...I don't know why you would get any thumbs down...Carl Anderson is irreplacable as judas...the passion in his voice was unreal...I will say Drew Sarich is the 2nd best Judas...he's really good...but Carl is a legend
Actually, Drew's range is unbelievable and the ways in which he can use his voice are unique. He was even nicknamed "The voice" by his collegues in Austria. :) Also, does the high note at the very end sound like a screaming part to you? :)
I love Drew not only cuz he's a great singer- i dare say most of the musical-stars r great singer, even though they show that they're still human from time to time- but also cuz he's a wonderful actor. I've never seen him live so far but i've watched every vid i could get and enjoyed his genuine mimics and gestics and i love them. U never grow tired of watching him, especially if he's illustrating the feelings in his songs... T.T I WANT TO WATCH HIM LIVE!!!
Wow, I really like his take on the song! I'm so used to the movie soundtrack so I generally prefer a little bit more growl or scream to the song, but by presenting his own take on the song and showing off a great range this actor definitely wins my approval.
This man just rocks! From musicals in english to german. He is so unique. He goes from Les MIs to Lestat to JCS to various shows in Germany! He rocks!! I am a huge fan.
This is amazing... I like this portrayal of Judas... I love it when I watch someone perform a song so famous in such a different and amazing way... It's refreshing
My 2nd favorite rendition of this song behind Carl Anderson, which is impressive cause there are some phenomenal Judases out there. I’ll never get over the high note at 3:34
i just watched a video of drew sarich singing this very song in a JCS production 10 years ago and he is so much better than he was then. its amazing and extremely humbling that even drew sarich is still learning and growing and it makes me respect him a thousand times more. he's incredible.
Quando ho sentito la prima volta questa versione ho pensato fosse pazzo a cambiare l'originale; mi ha dapprima allibita, incuriosita, poi emozionata. Sono passata ai vari pezzi disponibili su you tube fino ad arrivare a I only want to say e mi ha di nuovo incuriosita, poi emozionata, e infine conquistata. Che meraviglia!!!
The most effortless, passionate, sincere, and relatable Judas I've heard. This guy is incredible.
Agreed.
Listen Camilo sexto, Namaste
@@asensicule Thanks for the recommendation! He's definitely good, but his performance leans heavily on stylization over virtuosity. Seven years later, I'm still convinced this guy is the definitive Judas.
This guy was born to play Judas.. He has such amazing possibilities to become a greates musiacal singer of all time.
Ι can sing this waaaay better 😁😁😁
1:51 That's the best that line has ever been sung. The note choice he made on "But every word you say today" fits even better than the original run.
The gold standard for this musical is not the album, but the movie version. Carl Anderson is peerless. But this singer Drew sounds amazing, and it's the only other Judas I've liked.
There is so.ething to be said for the way the album version starts off restrained and gradually gets more and more desperate
OMG Drew's Mom is my french teacher!
Haha, he's pretty amazing.
In Missouri?
This is fucking rad. To me, his end of verse choices to alter the melodies ("it was beautiful but NOW it's sour") are some of the coolest parts of this. No one else sings those lines that way.
My favorite change is the high note at the end of “Yes it’s all, GONE SOOOUR”
He makes it sound so bloody easy...
I've played Judas, in three different productions, to a fair amount of acclaim but this guy makes me look like an amatuer. The best Judas I think I've ever heard. WOW!
i LOVE the orchestration of this version
It's so frustrating that there are no renditions even close to this good on Spotify
soooo good. hes an amazing singer!!!
5/5 i would love to see this performace
Hey Alfie ahahah
The best version of this.
I just LOVE the tone to this guy's voice. I've grown up listening to Carl and more recently Jerome Pradon; this guy has them all beat in my book.
When I grow up, I want to be Drew Sarich. He's so good!
I think Drew Sarich is a really good singer and actor. I hope he is still working in musicals as he is really talented.
He is, however in German speaking countries ;) He currently plays Rocky in Hamburg and just played Jesus in Vienna!
Kate Ermacora he's coming back to vienna to play jesus in jcs again in april :)
Kate Ermacora And he will play the count in Dance of the Vampires again in Vienna :) ! Now he is doing Vivaldi (new musical).
yes! i watched vivaldi on friday and he was just awesome, it was really touching. weekend in vienna for tanz der vampire already booked! :)
Laura Molnar Wow! I will watch it at the derniere :) ! And the Vampires as well, of course haha.
Drew Sarich is the very BEST!!!! No one is better....:)
So that's what I call voice!!!! This rock tone in his is so great.... I am so impressed...everyday when I hear him sing, I melt away....Love is in the air
By far my favorite Judas. Drew Sarich is one of the most talented actors/singers imo.
This was a great rendition!
Drew Sarich is just awesome. Even though I love him in all of his roles, Jesus and Judas just fit perfectly to him. So excited to see him as Jesus in april!!!
Fantastic! Absolutely the best rendition of this song I have ever heard!
As if there was any doubt in my mind before that Drew is absolutely amazing... he killed it.
One of my favorite I interpretations of Judas! Thehe way Drew personalizes certain parts is just amazing... 💖 Right up there with Carl Anderson and Murray Head.
This is how Judas should sound! Drew is AMAZING! THE BEST in my book!
Jesus looks like white belt karate student. :) This performance has something to it that makes it enjoyable.
Awesome singing of an already awesome piece of music! And the acting is also high.
Thank you for this!
The best cover on "Heavens" I ever heard.
The best performance of Judas vocally x acting , hands down!
Is it just me, or does it look like that while Judas is singing this, Jesus is fasting in the desert? In the Bible, this is when the Devil comes to Jesus to question His divinity and tempt Him into abusing His powers for selfish gain. And here we might have Judas signing directly to Jesus' ear as He fasts in the desert, about Jesus going down the wrong path. Brilliant!
Great voice and powerful lungs! I'm still partial to Carl's version but this is a very close second.
I'm with you...I don't know why you would get any thumbs down...Carl Anderson is irreplacable as judas...the passion in his voice was unreal...I will say Drew Sarich is the 2nd best Judas...he's really good...but Carl is a legend
He´s just simply amazing! The best version I´ve ever heard!
DREW SARICH is everything!!! Take notes.
the last minute of this... you'll never hear it done better
EPIC!! Amazing voice.
Actually, Drew's range is unbelievable and the ways in which he can use his voice are unique.
He was even nicknamed "The voice" by his collegues in Austria. :)
Also, does the high note at the very end sound
like a screaming part to you? :)
We call him Nasenbär bc hes singing extremly nasal what sounds awful
Dude killed it. Or should I say--crucified it?
I hate it. Now shut up and take my upvote. :-p
My mind is clearer now: great arrangements and amazing voice. I love it.
I love Drew not only cuz he's a great singer- i dare say most of the musical-stars r great singer, even though they show that they're still human from time to time- but also cuz he's a wonderful actor. I've never seen him live so far but i've watched every vid i could get and enjoyed his genuine mimics and gestics and i love them.

i love Drew Sarich so damn much!

Amazing.

This is amazing... I like this portrayal of Judas... I love it when I watch someone perform a song so famous in such a different and amazing way... It's refreshing
See ? Every once in a while, a singer takes an awesome song, and turns it into his/her own. Drew did with To much heaven.

I totally agree with you; the new arrangement of the music with the contemporary interpretation of the vocals just makes for an amazing production
Thank you so much for posting this...
Best "Heaven" I've ever seen.

There is no telling how my joy should be expressed in English.
This is wonderful performance.
Brilliant. The man is brilliant.
That was awesome. Great job.
This is a wonderful version of ths song...still relavant after all these years!
What an awesome performance! It's blowing my mind. The strings setting in at 2:30 are making me shiver.
:55 an incredible variation and he nails every damn note. Insane!
I've never heard this version before. I'm not crazy about some of his phrasing but he definitely has the right mix of singing and acting. Great voice!
This singer NAILED IT! Great job. Glad I clicked on!!!
My 2nd favorite rendition of this song behind Carl Anderson, which is impressive cause there are some phenomenal Judases out there. I’ll never get over the high note at 3:34
Dude knows how to make a song his own; no mimic syndrome here.
...just fantastic
so good !!
One word: Amazing!
Awesome performance!
HOOOOOOOOOLY shiznit.
+++favorite favorite!!
absolutely amazing.
drew sarich is my idol. i love him!!
This is really good. I'm seriously loving the vocals and the intrumental arrangement is done really well.

Brilliant!!
Hello. Drew is currently playing the title role in the Vienna production of Rudolf. I'd say it's pretty close to Danmark :)
Drew Sarich is friggin awesome!!! I never have ever heard such pipes on a dude before! Go Judas!
The absolute best version of this song. Drew sings fantastically.
This guy is great!
AMAZING.
i just watched a video of drew sarich singing this very song in a JCS production 10 years ago and he is so much better than he was then. its amazing and extremely humbling that even drew sarich is still learning and growing and it makes me respect him a thousand times more. he's incredible.
very good...it's the performance than i was finding..perfect sing in his voice.
A really fresh and original approach to this song!
This video absolutely WREAKS.....of WIN!!!
This is amazing. It seems like a whole different song the way he sings it, but in a good way.
Quando ho sentito la prima volta questa versione ho pensato fosse pazzo a cambiare l'originale; mi ha dapprima allibita, incuriosita, poi emozionata. Sono passata ai vari pezzi disponibili su you tube fino ad arrivare a I only want to say e mi ha di nuovo incuriosita, poi emozionata, e infine conquistata. Che meraviglia!!!
The song is actually in its proper key...Drew's placement is so good that the notes come out unstrained and sound easier.
Truly, one of my favorites.
How can someone dislike this.. seriously.
I love his voice he's one of my fav singer
best version ever this is soo cool
AMAZING judas- also, he's pretty cute!
perfection.
Not only are these vocals amazing, but the orchestration is incredibly intense - new string parts etc.
so nice.
Wow!!! What a voice!!! A really origanal interpretation aswell. If I was a singer this is what id want to sound like!!!!!!
Very nice version!!!
For the first time i see that someone is making his own version of this song. Amazing...but still i love Carl Anderson :P
Best
Judas
Ever
great band too funky and poppy
