Bungay High School Jesus Christ Superstar - Overture

Bungay High School's 2008 production of Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice.

Overture: supporters of Jesus, a young preacher from Nazareth, begin to hand out leaflets about him, whilst his disciples talk amongst themselves, speculating about their friend's whereabouts. Suddenly, followers of Caiaphas, the Chief Priest, arrive and begin to hand out leaflets about Caiaphas. The rival groups call at each other, and a fight ensues. Caiphas calls his followers away before any damage is done.

Yeah, my music teacher got told by Ofsted that it was the second hardest musical for a school to do, behind Les Mis, which we did a few years back!

Hey Bec Harrison here, you may know me, you may not. But I was lucky enough to be at this performance, I had a great view due to the fact I was sitauted at the front left hand corner of the stage. I loved this performance and since, I have watched the youtube clips over and over. At 1.23 I always get shivers down my spine, I believe that plays are becoming outcast by current media trends...which is a shame. Hopefully I will be allowed to go to the next performanc, lets just hope i get permission

Hey Bec, thanks so much for that! It's really great to hear, cos so many people have been nasty about the videos...maybe they forget it's a school production?

I know the whole cast had great fun doing it, and we're really excited about 'We Will Rock You' in March (shameless plug there, I know). I hope you can make it!
