I'm glad you all like it!  We had such a great cast and had so much fun!

I'm currently in this and today we read through/mock-blocked act II. I'm playing Judas and am offstage at this point, so I didn't sing this. But, when I was offstage, I listened to everyone on stage singing this and I can honestly say I have never been moved so much by a piece of musical theatre music. There is SO MUCH meaning to this piece and I cannot explain how moving it is to be a part of this cast and portray this amazing message to the public. I love this song SOOO MUCH.

Very stong voices, perfect for this piece. And I absolutely love the harmony.

I had the distinct pleasure of playing guitar in two seperate productions of this show. Once just out of college. The other it worked out well that I could quit my job to do the second production and after it was done, start a new, better job. Providence!!! I hope someday I can do this once more. It's such a hauntingly beautifull peice. Whomever posted this, your cast did a stellar job!!!

@58donthate I know how you feel...when i did this piece, it was really saddening and cheering at the same time...real cool

we had a production at my high school and IT was fantastic. This song made me tear up a bit even though i was in the front row.
