JC Superstar is by the same writers as Joseph - Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd-Webber. Joseph was their first collaboration performed publicly and was originally done as a school musical. Great performance as always.

This was the musical Jesus Christ Superstar (1992 Australian cast) and John played Jesus. This is where he is in the garden of Gethsemane before the Roman soldiers arrest him. There is more of this on KZitem. Check out Everything's Alright with John, Kate Cerberano and Jon Stevens. Kate is Mary Magadalene and Jon is Judas. Nice reaction

Thank you. JC Superstar was one of the world's musical stage shows of the 1970s. I saw versions in Sydney then the Andrew Lloyd Webber original show x2 in London's West End when undertaking a post graduate nursing oncology course in London. I loved the music and probably wore out 3 or 4 L.P. records. Years later back in Sydney I lived within walking distance of the Sydney theatres & Entertainment centre and JC Supertar came back with John Farnham playing Jesus Christ. I saw it twice including that final night. Yes, the musical is up to 2 hours long and at one stage I knew the words to all the songs. I'm biased, but I preferred the Aussie versions. More specifically this version.

I went to several different performances of the original Jesus Christ superstar in Australia both in Sydney and Melbourne produced by Harry M Miller, and they were absolutely spectacular. Trevor White who played Jesus just blew me away. His voice and performance was amazing as was the late Jon English who played Judas. I also loved Marcia Hines when she took over as Mary Magdalene. Who could forget the outrageous Reg Livermore as Herod? I also saw the John Farnham version later on which was done in the round with a central stage. It was actually more like a concert. The cast Including Jon Stevens and Kate Ceberano was amazing, but I was a little biased too and actually like the original version more.

@@mssuziquzi Yes the Trevor White JC Superstar was my first too, and I adored Jon English. Listened to his double LP of Paris for years waiting for it to be produced and sadly it never was.

I played the whole musical ( and was given a page turner) because I could read music. Many guitarists were upset as I only had a Teisco guitar and a Fender transistor Champ amplifier, the other guitarists were probably better players but I read it straight off- so I got the job. It's my favourite Lloyd/Weber musical as " Joseph" has songs from many differeing genres. John Farnham is known as "The Voice" here in Australia. It is a great musical and covers many styles - you won't be disappointed.

The Australian 1992 version of JC Superstar is hands down the best version I've ever seen. John Farnham, John Steven's and Kate Ceberano are all vocal powerhouses, and along with a stellar supporting cast, they created one for the ages. I'm not religious at all, but I love this, love this, LOVE THIS! I saw it live in 1992 and I regularly watch/listen to it now. Enjoy.

The entire show was amazing, I was so lucky to see it. The main cast was made up of performers who were very well known in their own right. The producers wanted a rock stage arena style of show, not the usual play with period costumes.

This was just one of his songs from the stage play of Jesus Christ Superstar....This is referred to in the Bible as 'The Agony in the Garden' When Jesus goes to pray and leaves his Apostles to watch out for soldiers who are coming to take him. But they all fell asleep. Thank you so much for reviewing this. It still moves me to tears. There is a full cast performance from a TV show that you might like to see. It's ok if you don't want to react publicly but it may show you a little of the cast kzitem.info/news/bejne/p4ClvqFroouBl20

Last week I came across 2 versions of the whole concert. Both are remastered copies of the cast momentos. 1st is by Philip Heggie - Jesus Christ Superstar Australia 1992 Remastered 1:42:14 Second (JCS AUS 92 Channel) Jesus Christ Superstar Australia 1992 Full unpublished Dvd ACT 1 46:41 & ACT 11 (58:47) They are essentially the same with small differences in colour saturation and audio crispness. I complete 2 in 2 parts If you have a friend or relative with knowledge of the life of Jesus why not invite them over. Understanding the story helps with comprehension and enjoyment. The songs are good but it's not a "play". Knowledge of the subtleties of the religious & geopolitical tensions at the time help you to understand the actions. Enjoy!

The original Australian performance was in the 1970s and my mum took me and a friend to see it. The original cast - all the cast, were fantastic and for me Trevor White was a great choice for Jesus - great voice but added the gentility and fragility when needed. My friend and I ended up seeing it 11 times. Still have my ticket stubs and program. I did see the more modernised version with John. For me, and this is not a criticism of John, I do not think it hit home, but was rather a few really well known singers but not really had a cohesion from a directing point of view. All that said, the most amazing singer to have performed Gethsemane is Steve Balsamo - kzitem.info/news/bejne/lGOo2JmVe4qpdmU Trevor White (and he was only 21) kzitem.info/news/bejne/o5eNtIl9hWmdmoo
