The guy is Marcus Lovett who starred as the Man in the original London production of Whistle Down the Wind which opened the year this concert was given which is why it is Whistle Down the Wind-heavy.
You know, the musical Jesus Christ Superstar was previously banned from being performed where I am in South Africa. Not that it makes a difference to me, I'm Jewish.
I find it interesting that in all his head shots Marcus Lovett looks nothing like this. He's usually very clean cut and doesn't look at all like a bad ass. Oh, well. It's television.

LOL I AM christian, and to me this song is a bit blasphemous. But it makes me want to dance so badly that I can't help but absolutely love it. So I guess it's a guilty pleasure no matter which way your spirituality lies!! :D
This song isn't blasphous. Jesus is carried the cross to the hill, and Satan appears to Jesus in the form of Judas, asking him all of these questions, trying to get Christ to doubt Himself. And even with all of these questions, Jesus still chooses to die of us.
I saw this musical a couple of years ago with a friend - we both felt Jesus did nothing but whine and empathised with Judas.

Whoa, this song must offend a lot of Christians, I don't mind, but then again I'm a Jew.

@MrA60100I think you're actually talking about the choir (the adult choir, the kids on the side is a youth choir) :)

por suerte para nosotros los catolicos los cerdos no comen margaritas
lastima que no identifiquen en este musical la intencion de dios para el
planeta entero y desdeñen esta maravilloso don de jesus
nosotros los catolicos somos la verdadera religion..mejor oigan a marcos witt
o como se llame

Marcus Lovett who makes this song it is the whole beautiful cast.
