    Loved JCS since I first heard the brown album in 1970

    by dslandrover on 5/12/24The Santander Performing Arts Center - Reading

    I love Jesus Christ Superstar. It is my favorite show. I first saw the original national concert tour with Jeff Fenholt, Carl Anderson & Yvonne Elliman in July ‘71 when I was fourteen. I have since seen the show many times, including Broadway versions as well as professional, community & college theaters. I’ve watched the ‘73 movie innumerable times, twice at events hosted Ted Neeley & other actors as well as the 2000 & 2012 filmed versions & the 2018 TV performance. It has been fantastic getting to see this new 50th Anniversary Tour with all these wonderful young performers bringing a fresh take on the show I’ve love so long while retaining the original spirit. I had hoped to see the two actors that I saw playing Jesus & Judas three times before in ‘23 on the tour in this performance as well because they had such phenomenal chemistry. That’s not to say that the Jesus understudy didn’t do a great job but at this performance but it was just a different vibe. The Santander Performing Arts Center was different from any other theater I’ve been to with all bag requirements (ie., clear bag with very specific measurements & security guards sitting in front of the stage facing the audience). Theater personnel were very nice & helpful. My husband & I also had great seats, front row center.

    Awesome!

    by LMW on 5/2/24The Santander Performing Arts Center - Reading

    I was blown away by the show! It was a nice modern rendition of this Iconic musical. Modern Day choreography, which was absolutely wonderful. A very simple stage which proved to be so effective. The actors were outstanding. The use of lighting was fascinating. Never a dull moment. The music and ensemble band was Perfection. Two thumbs up for sure.

    Jesus Christ Superstar

    by Marybeth on 5/2/24The Santander Performing Arts Center - Reading

    I was so looking forward to this play as it was advertised as Broadway Production. However, the sound at the Sandander Performing Arts Center was terrible. As it was a musical, the lyrics tell the story but I couldn’t make out the words when the singers were singing in many of the numbers. For the cost of my seats, the overall experience was poor.

    Amazing production!

    by Zoe H. on 5/2/24The Santander Performing Arts Center - Reading

    Amazing! Excellent singing, even actors playing instruments on stage (I mean, Ted Neely was awesome in the movie, but he wasn't also strumming on the guitar during Gethsemane like this actor did!) Excellent and simple staging and wonderful choreography, singing and performing.

    Mixed

    by Lanning on 5/2/24The Santander Performing Arts Center - Reading

    You really need to be familiar with the story and characters to be able to follow it. There is no dialogue, only songs, and there was no program distributed.

    Terrific and ambitious

    by Tom on 5/2/24The Santander Performing Arts Center - Reading

    Loved the show overall, I can't believe the amount of work related to just a one night performance. Standouts were the actors who portrayed Judas, Mary Magdelene, Caiaphas, as well as the featured female dancer. Terrific movers, dancers, singers, and actors - they really captured the essence of the story. The only disappointment was the actor portraying Jesus - his acting skills could not convey a sense of pathos or internal conflict , he had a thin, lightweight mid-range, and his falsetto was piercingly shrill. Alas, where has Ian Gillan gone ? I suggest that the production give the role to the actor portraying Peter, and swap Jesus into Peter's role .. I think the production would benefit. That said - I still loved the show - from those opening sinister guitar lines, right through till the end.
