| | Jesus Christ Superstar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jesus is confronted by a mob of supporters, and Caiaphas demands he silence them. | | | Jesus was played by Darryl Lovegrove; Caiaphas by Frankie Stevens, elder brother of Jon Stevens (the two played together on stage when the production toured Australia, with Jon in his previous role as Judas); and Judas by the stage, televison and cinema star Jay Laga'aia. | | | The title song, "Superstar", sung by Judas, and "I Don't Know How to Love Him", sung by Mary Magdalene (Yvonne Elliman) about her relationship with Jesus, were both big hits. |

| | MILESAGO - Stage Shows 1964-75 - Jesus Christ Superstar |
| | The Superstar album was officially released in the U.S. by Decca on 27 October 1970 and it too was an immediate hit. | | | In 1984 he collaborated with Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA on the hit musical Chess, which duplicated Superstar by being recorded as a concept album before it was staged. | | | Superstar appeared as an LP long before it was produced on stage and in fact it was the success of the record which led directly to the first stage production -- the first and probably the only time a major stage musical has been successfully launched in this manner. |

| | Jesus Christ Superstar (MCA Original Cast Recording) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | Jesus Christ Superstar started life as a most improbable concept album from an equally unlikely label, Decca Records, which had not, until then, been widely known for groundbreaking musical efforts. | | | Each CD edition has sounded good, however, and was an improvement on the LP edition, but the 1996 release offers beautifully crisp fidelity with a close, loud sound on all of the instruments, but especially the bass -- it still rocks, and the singing of Gillan, Head, Gustafson, and Elliman still stands out. | | | jesus christ superstar (mca original cast recording) - album credits |

| | Theatre Mirror Reviews - "Jesus Christ Superstar" |
| | "Superstar" ruffled a lot of feathers when the album hit the States in the mid-sixties. | | | Since "Superstar" paints Judas as a victim, a lot of God-fearing parents forbade their kids to buy the album. | | | This was, you will recall, the decade of rebellion and the album became a phenomenon. |

| | Jesus Christ Superstar |
| | Jesus is dismayed by this and tries to caution Simon, who keeps singing of the "power" and "glory" that will be theirs as Simon and the crowd finish the song. | | | Jesus acquiesces and finishes the song (to what is usually a standing ovation that stops the show cold for several minutes). | | | As the "Superstar" music ends abruptly and off-stage voices sound the wordless finale to "John 19:41," Jesus and Judas approach each other and embrace warmly - it is obvious there is a great deal of love and friendship between these two. |

(Interview sent to radio stations in recorded and printed forms with the original album of Jesus Christ Superstar, band 2 of the recorded interview, p.5 of the printed interview.) | | | Even in Gethsemane He prayed, "Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt" (Mark 14:36). | | | Such a description of Christ is simply Satan's description of Him. |

| | I do admit, it isn't an easy song to sing - for the musical among you, there's a top G in the song, which is very high and beyond most men, but still if he was cast as Jesus he HAS to be able to sing that song. | | | You’ll get much more out of listening to a masterfully sung version of the show (which the 1996 recording is) than watching this mediocre film with just-better-than-average singing and poor acting. | | | Gethsemane, Jesus prayer to God in the garden of Gethsemane just before his arrest, is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace the stage. |

| | The music is clear and bouncy, and the movie sound track album should be a better version of the rock opera than the original. | | | But Jewison is dealing with a fantasy about the life of Christ, not fact, and if he wants to typecast, that's his right as a filmmaker. | | | It is, indeed, a triumph over that work; using most of the same words and music, it succeeds in being light instead of turgid, outward-looking instead of narcissistic. |

| | "Jesus Christ, Superstar" by Amy Sullivan |
| | For nearly 2,000 years, the story of Jesus and broader biblical epics had infused the cultural environment of the average Westerner. | | | They were familiar with the teaching that says the Rapture will be followed by seven years of trials and tribulations, at the end of which Jesus will come to earth once again to lead the forces of good against the forces of evil in the battle known as Armageddon. | | | But there is another explanation: Millions of Christians, not all of them right-wing or even evangelical, have been devouring these badly written books, crackpot politics and all, because there is virtually no other entertaining Christian-themed fiction out there. |
