@vader5001, I disagree. It adds to the plot tremendously. It gives you insight as to why Caiphas wanted Jesus killed. I am glad it was in the film and am happy to see it put into the musical.
Fascinating. I've never seen this song performed outside of the 1973 movie. The voices are very good, and the scene is well-blocked out. I love the torches.
This is an awesome song, originally made for the movie. It does not move the plot, per se. But is a fantastic song none the less. And in the movie version from 1973, it is done in one camera shot, for the most part. And this version here is great.
It's great they included this song... I don't understand why they never put it in live productions, it's one of the best songs of ths show. I know this song is not part of the original recording (the same with Could we start again)... anyway, nice video.
@henrysvg Yea it doesnt quite fit, because it was put in at a later stage, but what it does is develop the priests characters past evil religious guys who hate jesus, it gives them a motive. I like it for that reason.

It sucked that they cut this song out of the 2000 movie of JCS. It's one of my favorites. This is an awesome production

Overall a good production...but i have to say it does sound like Arnold S. is singing the role of Caiphas.

Because it's not in the origional music.
It'd be a whole separate thing for the rights.

It sort of disrupts the flow of the show. It's a little redundant if you ask me.

Annas acting really annoys (sp?) the hell outta me. He keeps moving his head like a vulture ... it's really ugly

Thats the point of his character. Kind of like the little devil that sits on Caiaphas' shoulder.

NO! This was originally a british play written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber. the 1973 film was NOT the original!!!

It doesn't matter, but just so no one gets on my case, scratch play and replace "rock opera." In any case, it was on stage.
MilesJThenardier 5 years ago
The first time this song was in JCS was in the film though, I'm not saying the film was first.
NamNero 5 years ago
WRONG!! the original play didn't include this song. I was specially composed for the film
