Jesus Christ Superstar at Capitol Theatre | Media Call
Had the privilege of being invited to the media call for the new production of Jesus Christ Superstar playing at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney. The hit Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, cowritten by Tim Rice was a massive hit on Broadway in the West End, also being made into a motion picture. The video includes exclusive footage from the show.
John Frost brings the production back to Sydney and Australia after a hiatus - reviving and reimagining the successful arena spectacular that recently featured in Regents Park in the United Kingdom.
Previous productions of Jesus Christ superstar have featured the likes of John English and Marcia Hines, and later John Farnham, Kate Ceberano, John Stevens and Angry Anderson. Tim Minchin also featured in the role of Judas in the most recent production in the UK.
The new production in Sydney features Michael Paynter as Jesus, Mahalia Barnes as Mary Magdalene, Javon King as Judas and Peter Murphy as Pontius Pilate. Jesus Christ superstar is playing at the Capitol theatre for a limited time - get your tickets now! jesuschristsuperstarmusical.c...

    I saw both Brightman and Paladino in Melbourne.

Paladino on the other hand is absolutely terrific, and should have been given the role outright.

    I am grateful i knew all the words to Norma Desmond's songs... Would have been a challenge to get the most out of the story otherwise. Agree the opera emphasis was a bit strong and drowned out the acting potential that drives home the tragedy. Still, fabulous male lead, fabulous set and costumes, a bit more brighter lighting in the right place and time would have elevated some of the emotional moments. So glad I saw it and I'd honestly go again to have goosebumps during the namesake Sunset Boulevard song once more.

    SB was totally miscast as Norma Desmond. There was no fire in her performance at all. She thought she was playing Chritine again, or thats how it came across. No passion, no inner monologue, no depth, just flat and lifeless. Not a patch on her many predeccessors who have come before her in this role. She still has a good operatic voice, but she cannot act the part of a neurotic ego driven half sad half mad old movie star. Sorry Sarah, but this was not your finest role.

    I just saw this show in Sydney last Sunday during a business trip from the US to AUS. I loved everything about this production..... except Sarah Brightman. I often could not tell what she was saying during her songs, and, since I had not seen the show before, that really mattered. Draxl and Rubenach both had great stage presence and great chemistry together, and "Too Much in Love to Care" was the standout piece for me. I had special appreciation for the stage. At certain points in the show they slid the mansion off stage during transitions by taking it straight back while the actors continued speaking in the foreground, making it seem the vision of grandeur, and Normas dreams, were shrinking. It was a great show, I'm a little sad I didn't have the chance to see it again with Paladino.

    Amazing production but, although Miss Brightman is a fine singer and an icon from The Phantom, the role is unsuitable for her. The role requieres more acting than singing; I mean, singing is required but with a lot of interpretation in it. It happens the same, in my opinion, with Glenn Close: she is great at acting but her singing is poor.

      @@adriankmita Possibly. I have always characterized the two in the role of Norma Desmond this way...Patti LuPone is a singer who can act while Glenn Close is an actress who can sing. LuPone is the stronger singer; Close is the better actress.

    Saw in Melbourne. Orchestration, staging/production was amazing. Thought Sarah was ok, other actors were very good. Might see again in Sydney with understudy.

      Silvie Paladino is a bit more than an understudy… more of an alternate. Saw her last as the fairy godmother in Cinderella. I’ve heard it’s a very different experience with her in it. My guess is much more musical theatre. Definitely worth checking out in Sydney again!

    Sarah is a godess, and all the backlash she and this production have received are ridiculous. From what I see and hear in this video, this IS Sunset Blvd The Musical, and not that bloody modern "diverse" version they put together in London recently. That was utter crap, while this one looks and sounds luscious and wondreous. Sarah Brightman Forever!

      @adriankmita 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think the backlash was because Sarah sounds quite operatic in the show, and they were expecting typical musical theatre. But it’s Sarah Brightman, she’s as soprano… that’s what she does!

      She’s not a goddess an operatic does not Norma Desmond make she squeezing into a role that she doesn’t belong in and the fact that you’re supporting it blindly is really scary.
