I know we are appreciating Brandon Victor Dixon’s singing but can we also appreciate how he’s just effortlessly schmoothing on stage

Brandon Victor Dixon was so amazing as the rest of cast but I had never seen him before and what a voice !!!!

I originally watched this for John Legend, now I'm not even a big fan of John Legend but I absolutely fell in love with Brandon Victor Dixon ❤️

Those background singers tho 😍

judas’s is such an amazing role overall, i gotta appreciate a bit of every version of it.. but man, these and drew sarichs vocals will always have a special place in my heart they just DO IT for me

I think I reached enlightenment during that screaming high note! 🥹

Brandon Victor Dixon has officially tied with Carl Anderson as the best Judas!! He made his own while honoring the original so well. And that ROCK SCREAM!!!! If John Legend couldn’t do it at least he could!! Truly the Superstar of the whole show!

Carl Anderson set the standard with his electrifying performance of this song. It is a hard act to follow

He is brilliant

Ironically enough, I first heard this song at a youth church event years before I ever knew the musical existed, let alone seen it in person. But now that I’m an adult and I’ve had time to see it in person multiple times and understand the context of this song, it’s surprising and a bit funny how they didn’t really understand the meaning or gravity of this song when they performed this song for a bunch of 8 years olds. It’s not necessarily meant to be a moment of praise and being in awe of what Jesus had done up until his crucifixion, as much as it is a grandiose moment ofJudas’s spirit looking on from wherever the hell he is (pun partially intended), and sarcastically saying “Well, that all worked out just fine, didn’t it?”

It's more of a perspective of someone from the Modern Day, Reference to Mass Communations and other Religious Figures like Buddha (Older than Christianity) and Mohammed (Younger than Christianity).

Just saw the Seoul production so this is a nice throwback. The Seoul cast were phenomenal 👍

The whole description of the show is wrong??? Or at least the cast is. And the date it’s from... This is Brandon Dixon as Judas. John Legend was Jesus. Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene. And Alice Cooper as King Herod. It aired in 2018 in April on NBC. I wish I still had the DVR it was saved on because it was amazing to watch.

Brandon stole the show!!!! He was so much better than Legend! I loved him in this role!!!

Carl Anderson and Brandon Victor Dixon are the greatest Judas's imho.

The studio audience were probably waiting for this number.

Not CA but this guy is still very good.

Murry Head, from the original recording was the best Judas and Ian Gillian from Deep Purple, who played Jesus on the original recording was incredible. This is my opinion of course, but if you've never heard the original, you definitely should give it a try.

It needs horris Morris and boris and The cast of sesame street
