favourite, reviews, theater

S U P E R S T A R

I went to the theatre yesterday to see a very old classic. This play was first set up in 1971, and was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The musical is about the last seven days of Jesus' life, and contains various kinds of rocksongs.

The first song was performed by Judas (that's his Danish name, he might have another name in your language...) and I didn't understand one word of what he sang. He yelled and screamed his words out so I was tempted to go up there and ask him to take it down a little.

(That would have been something, huh? : "Excuse me? Yes, you up there! Yes, you! Can you please take it down a bit? You sing way too loud! So please?! Thank you so much!")

The next song was Jesus' answer, and that wasn't much better. I began to think that this was a waste of both time and money...

But then something happened. The disciples sang some real good rock songs, and I caught myself tapping my foot and smiling all over. I liked the songs and the performers, and I absolutely loved Maria Magdalena's stunning red boots!

But the best thing of the play was when King Herodes sang and tapdanced barefooted in his pink underwear.

I will give it

out of 6.
I would have given it 6 stars, but two things pull it down to only 5: That Judas sang so his words were unintelligible and that Jesus spat out over the first 4 rows when he sang.

"Jesus spat out over the first 4 rows when he sang."

He did!

It was really gross!

Did you have any umbrella by chance?

No, luckily I was at the tenth row, so I was out of spitting range.

Maybe he was drooling on someone

You should've chucked 30 pieces of silver to Judas and told him to either keep it down or hang himself.

@ Darko ~ Yes, perhaps he was. Maria Magdalena was a hottie, so you can't blame him.

@ Mik ~ Good idea! I should have... wait... he did that!

@ Kimmie ~ Have you seen this play?

@ Callya ~ Thank you. I have seen it before, back in school, but I don't really remember it. Now I think of it - the Jesus back then was a spitter too!
