​​@@waxy8402 The keffiyeh, particularly in that pattern, are a traditional Palestinian scarf. People wear them now to remember that Palestine is oppressed and her people are suffering under occupation and genocide, and have been for decades. It's important context to remember that during Jesus's time, the region of Galilee (itself the northernmost part of ancient Palestine) was under occupation by Rome, its people were being exploited by the occupiers, and Jesus became a symbol of civil resistance against that occupation. In fact, much of the advice Jesus gave was, in context, about passive and civil resistance than we realise. "Turn the other cheek" was in reference to the fact that Roman soldiers (who tend to be right-handed) will punch an equal in the face, connecting with the left cheek, but will backhand slap someone they consider lesser, connecting with the right cheek. When Jesus says to "turn the other cheek", it is to dare the Roman solider to treat him like an equal, not a second-class citizen. Why? To activate the Jewish citizens of Galilee to demand respect and dignity, and activate the Roman soldiers to remember their conscience, and that the Galileans are people. As I said, many of the instructions are about this, including "going the extra mile" and giving someone the shirt off your back. He didn't want his people to be meek, but to fight back. This is why Judas in this song, as the antagonist, is fearfully asking Jesus to sit down, don't let them be too loud, to not resist -- he fears the Roman violence more than he dares to dream of a free Galilee. As this musical has always been about putting the story through a modern lens with the historical context of people resisting occupation, Judas is wearing the keffiyeh to symbolise his resistance, but at the same time is almost strangled by the weight of it.

I see Minchin's Judas as more "angry", Anderson's as more "desperate". I absolutely adore both renditions.

I heard a theory that Judas is actually the most faithful among the disciples. Reason being, despite clearly being a follower of Jesus, his task was something that would be nigh impossible for any of the other disciples, who were willing to even harm others to protect Jesus despite his teachings. Hence, why he ended up hanging himself. But, then again, it's a theory, and it doesn't really change anything but our PoV...

So they essentially used pitch correction, not because Tim was off-key, but because they wanted to change the notes Tim sung. Like in the death scene, he pours his guts out. However, after they were like, let's make it a pop song! Maybe other people needed bits of it, here and there, but not Tim. E.G. F Sharp's (one of his own songs) punchline wouldn't land without being able to hit the note.

"You've begun to matter more than the things you say" is such a hard hitting line when you consider the type of Christians who's moral and political beliefs seem to be completely removed from his messages about helping those less fortunate, not making judgements et cetera. Some use worship of Jesus as a justification for them to legitimise their own bigotry and keeping wealth and power at the top which is completely antithetical to what he is supposed to have said. If he was indeed real and is in the afterlife he must be cringing at what has been done and said by some supposedly in his name.

Meanwhile Ben chews the set left and right and is super intense almost all the time. It shows a dichotomy with just their presentation and it's really nice.

The part that just kills me is how hard Tim worked on his voice for this production. His voice and technique are dramatically improved here compared to his earlier work (and I absolutely love his earlier work). From some of the other comments, it sounds like they toned down the autotune in this clip, but it's still pretty heavy in places. I don't have an ear for sound editing and I can hear it. I'm sure there's a fair amount of sound editing and subtle autotuning in everything I listen to that I'm not even aware of, but this rises to a level that just makes me sad for Tim.

Tim did a great showing the build up of emotion and desperation in this song

Only just saw this show for the first time, Tim is honestly the best thing about this show. He steals it. Everyone is astounding but Tim Minchin really is a scene stealer 😂 My god his voice gives me 90's, early 2000's rock vibes, takes me back to my 13 year old self. Definitely the rockstar of the piece.

@Ann Pommer Steve and Ted for me.

But what about Sam's mum's cataracts? I have been looking for this performance for so long. Minchin is great to watch and listen to.

PS: Tim Minchin’s new album in dropping Nov 20, 2020: Apart Together. Several tracks are available now. Check iTunes, Apple or others. Apart Together really rips my heart open.

My favorite show, followed by Phantom

Same here!!

Love this performance! Minchin is a revelation and Forster is definitely holding his own in the pantheon of the men who've played the Messiah. Also I think in this role Forster bears a strong resemblance to actor Aidan Turner.

Totally agree, I saw the behind the scenes vid for jcs, where the makeup/hair people said they were going fir a Johnny Depp vibe with Ben foresters look fir Jesus. But watching the whole performance, I kept thinking, poldark is playing Jesus.

I listened to backstage interview of this production, (the makeup/hair people), said they were going for a Johnny Depp vibe for the look of Jesus, but I think the wig chosen achieved a Ross Poldark (a character played by Aiden Turner) look.

He is effortlessly crushing it.

He's wearing a Palestinian wrap and for me that's something

They were Palestinians, so , yeah

Now that’s what I call a smattering of applause. The performance deserved more than what it got.

really regret how little jesus and judas interact in this one - their chemistry is so important to the whole show and in this massive concert version they barely have any time one-on-one, even in the choreo, even when they're supposed to be singing directly to each other. The brief moments that they do interact are great, I just wish the director had pushed them into the same space a bit more :/

Amazing!!

I think the fourth line of the fifth verse is actually “hey that’d be good”

I saw this live in Cardiff when they toured this production. The best thing about it (which this video doesn't quite get over) was the sheer volume - the sound production was more like a rock gig than a typical musical - loud, bass you feel as well as hear etc. Absolutely brilliant show! Oh, and Tim didn't need autotune - it's the imperfections which make a performance perfect and give it some feeling.

Judas was the true super star of this musical 🌟

Petiton to get Tim and the rest of the 2012 Arena Tour cast to release a cast album!!

Not only is his singing brilliant, but his acting is too. His facial expressions are great.

What an actor. What a role for him lol. What a damn voice. God I love when Tim Minchin sings genuinely, and his expressions on here were all 1000% spot on.

I just learned about this! My favourite comedian playing one of my favourite Broadway characters?! Just brilliant

I had tickets to the arena tour but it got cancelled in North America... then I had tickets to the stage play tour and that got postponed and eventually cancelled three times because of the pandemic... well, now my local college's theatre program is doing it in the spring, hopefully that works out, or else I'm just cursed 😆

Great casting. Tim is edgy, relatable, and absolutely nails it.

This is the first time where I'm like... Yea, this guy actually did a really dope preformance when matched with the original. Brings a whole new vibe and I feel it.

Minchin's perfectly cast here

as a french person i didn't knew Tim Minchin that i discovered through a spectic channel, but WHAT A VOICE ! and i just love the lyrics ! and now i'm just watching/listening to evey single title from Tim !

Tim Minchin's vocal range is legit something I would use the Dragon Balls to wish for.

I love all the performers, Ben Forster making an astonishing vocal performance and Mel C is really moving with her beautiful voice, but Tim Minchin imajes a brilliant acting and vocal performance, incredibly charismatic and insightful. Thanks for putting this video online.

God Bless Australia for giving us Tim Minchin and Angela White

Tim forever changed my standard on the role of Judas.. I can’t get satisfied watching another Judas 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Dear God. I had no idea Tim Minchin had such a powerful, clear voice. It's so talented!

My favourite Judas 😍❤

Interpreting the Passion story with Judas as a tragic hero is so brilliant.

I ve been a Tim Minchin fan for a while and I think this is his best work.

I thought I had a great deal of respect for Tim Minchin before seeing this, but it turns out I was able to find even more. Much love for this production.

YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS VIDEO I’ve been streaming his version on Spotify but I just reeeealy wanted it on here I screamed This is the best

I first saw Jesus Christ Superstar in1973 as a 14 year old - I've seen every production I've been able to, the 70's movie and I have never, EVER seen a better Judas than Tim Minchin - I'm 61 now and I'm bloody impressed 👍😁 and to think he's an Aussie, makes me proud as 😁

"YOU PEOPLE " AND "YOU PEOPLE " "KNOW" WHO YOU ARE Keep your distance!

Is it just me or did they tune down the autotune a fair bit? I remember it was really bad (the autotune, not Tim, Tim without autotune is just perfect), but here I only just notice it a little bit.

I think so. It might of been because everyone including Tim complained about it. He wasnt happy. He really didnt need it at all. It took away from the passion he was putting into it. I would rather someone was a little bit pitchy and put their all into it rather than be perfect and boring. If that makes sense

It's soooo auto tuned at parts. Tim was really upset upon hearing it too

I had never seen JCS before it was streamed on here, and it definitely lived up to expectations ❤️. Tim totally stole the show for me!

All of a sudden, I like the cut of Judas's jib!

He poured everything he had into that. Fantastic.

I need a CAST ALBUM RECORDING!! Tim minchin’s version of heaven on their minds is so good!

I don't know why but this performance and music is anime worthy

"You've begun to matter more than the things you say". Powerful.. and exactly what's wrong with a certain segment of his fan club these days.. who tend to ignore what he said.

Tim’s amazing voice and range are showcased by this performance. Such power and emotion!

Sooo thankful that he has shared all of this during the pandemic! I hope I’m able to help people who are stressed as well with meditation, calm music, and mindfulness. You all matter! Sending healing and peace to everyone ❤️❤️❤️

Tim Minchin is my all time favourite Judas - such an incredible voice

I literally can barely function without this in my head for 50% of the day. It's a problem. I'm always singing this under my breath

Tim Minchin is absolutely amazing here ! Wow. I had previously only seen his own shows.

I always have to replay "come on come on, he won't LISTEN to me" 🥵

After the original(movie) no one to me has hit that first “Jesus” as great as this dude had

This has replaced Phantom of the Opera in being my favorite ALW musical

My mind is clearer now. At last all too well I can see where we all soon will be. If you strip away The myth from the man, You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus! You've started to believe The things they say of you. You really do believe This talk of God is true. And all the good you've done Will soon get swept away. You've begun to matter more Than the things you say. Listen Jesus I don't like what I see. All I ask is that you listen to me. And remember, I've been your right hand man all along. You have set them all on fire. They think they've found the new Messiah. And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong. I remember when this whole thing began. No talk of God then, we called you a man. And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died. But every word you say today Gets twisted 'round some other way. And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied. Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown Like his father carving wood He'd have made good. Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best. He'd have caused nobody harm; no one alarm. Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race? Don't you see we must keep in our place? We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are? I am frightened by the crowd. For we are getting much too loud. And they'll crush us if we go too far. If they go too far Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give. Please remember that I want us to live. But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour. All your followers are blind. Too much heaven on their minds. It was beautiful, but now it's sour. Yes it's all gone sour. Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give. Please remember that I want us to live. C'mon, c'mon He won't listen to me c'mon, c'mon He won't listen to me

Casting him as Judas just makes so much sense. Perfect fit for this play.

This is the best Judas I've seen since Carl Anderson.
