Some of the high priests are bass-baritones, and Caiaphas is a true bass. But Fred's timbre isn't that low. He definitely has a richness on his low notes, but he is a baritone. He hits those F#'s with such ease
@@brentgill7180 then yes. But here’s my reason for thinking he is a bass-baritone; He actually did the phantom in phantom of the opera recently, and he struggled with the score. Like his lower range was so powerful and rich, but when you reach the higher range you can hear even from his voice that is was hurting him. He had to strain G4 up. Don’t get me wrong I love Fred, and was so happy he finally did the role.
@@phantomphan873 Fred Johanson is absolutely a bass-baritone considering he could sing the part of Max Von Mayerling in Sunset Boulevard It's also an interesting trend that while Pilate was at a first a tenor role (especially with Barry Dennen) most major productions in recent years have cast baritones in the role (the only major exception being Ben Daniels in the 2018 broadcast, but it's hard to tell as Daniels isn't a singer by trade). It's likely Johanson kick started this shift to Pilate being a baritone role.
Honestly, some people think Pilate is a bit over the top in this adaption. But I fricking love him. His voice is stunning and I love this clear pronounciation. But the best thing is his facial expression. While talking to Jesus he seems very calm, like he is standing above him and is able to do anything he wants to. But as soon as Jesus goes to Herodes and the mob starts to sing "Hosanna" his eyes look so insecure, as if he isn't sure anymore. He seems so nervous about the situation, when he realizes how powerful the mob is. Just love it. Great acting.
yeah breaking the "face" at 2:10 reveals that the overacting is in fact a deliberate choice of the character trying to cover up their fear of this violent mob
I have to admit "and WHAAAAT. Do. You mean by THAAAT" had me chuckling but at least it's sung damn well. This Pilate may be over the top but he sounds good doing it.
God I love Fred Johanson's voice. Definitely a theater actor and knows exactly how to play a crowd. Overacting? Maybe. Entertaining? Definitely. Absolutely my favorite Pilate.
He is fabulous! Keep in mind that he's a singer used to working in theaters. To reach the public in a theater you got to act out. Acting for a camera is quite different!
@@Usedw0tm8What an awesome career. Loved your comment. My dad loved theatre and we drove to Memphis and Nashville to see shows until our city grew big enuf to build a civic center. Dad was ill but he rallied to see Camelot with Robert Goulet. He had aged so played the king, not the prince. 😊 Dad whispered to me as he took my hand and said, He's aged a bit eh? I whispered back, Oh yes but he's still got it, like you. He squeezed my hand and smiled a smile I will never forget. He passed that next Thursday. We cleaned out our childhood home and I got his stereo and all the albums ... Camelot of course, Phantom, Oklahoma, Porgy and Bess (my fav), Fiddler, and Les Miz and too many to list. He had a beautiful tenor voice and I know he's dancing with mom in the Great Beyond. My 15 yo grandson is studying theater. I know I'm not objective 😂 but he's really good. He's doing a summer next yr in Staunton, VA at the Shakespeare theater company. I've a friend who is involved with it for many yrs. They've a travel group that visits rural areas to introduce kids to theatre who might never see it otherwise. These kids love it too. Sorry I've prattled on too long but I'm old now and its what we do. 😂 I had a 50 yr career I loved, but theater...wow. Bet you have some great memories !! 😊
I think that a lot of people kinda miss the point of this scene. At 2:10 you can see Pilate finally let down his facade, and the dude is fucking terrified. He's just trying to stop a riot breaking out at this point. He doesn't have the first clue about Jesus or why they want him dead, he's just been sent there to maintain control over a very recently conquered part of the empire, and he's hanging on by a thread. But if he lets the mob see that, they'll just run over him and the other Romans, and if he isn't killed by the mob, he'll almost certainly be executed for failing to maintain order.
Yes, this interpretation of Pilate is definitely him playing up his tough guy image to the crowd. Scary the same way a constantly screaming fascist dictator is scary. It's essentially putting a mirror on how our real life "strongman" leaders look and act. It works when the audience realizes there's a weak, frightened, rudderless man behind that excessive facade. In other words, yes, it is over the top. And I believe that we, the audience, are meant to be in on that. Incidentally, I have a high regard for Barry Dennen. This is simply a completely different take on the character. I find that JCS73 and JCS2000 each improve when one stops comparing them.
In the production I directed, we used this idea through costume changes; he goes from an expensive dressing gown to a suit/armband and finally full ceremonial uniform; the more out of control his situation becomes, the harder he fights back to present an authoritarian image. What I love about the character is the balancing act of an overburdened politician - Jesus is the hair that breaks the camel's back, finally breaking a stoic facade. Much like Hitler's failure to reinforce Berlin or Moriarty losing his criminal empire, the breakdown Pilate goes through is a very visual turning point
This was the interpretation of the historical Pilate. He was reprimanded by Caligula (!!!) for his unnecessary cruelty, and the punishment for deportation back to Rome would have been committing suicide. Think of it as the public servant who intends to do just do his job until he's eligible for his pension.
I had not considered that, that is absolutely brilliant. Going through the dialog, that explains why pretty much every single interaction he had with Jesus in the song is in the form of a question. He asks questions, he has no idea what is happening. Jesus is stoic. Pilate is confused and freaking out over the jews attending freaking out, as Jesus never actually says anything illegal. He sees the threat of a riot, freaks out, and bounces the accused over to a local court, Herod. Washing his hands as it were.
Nor is pilate a villain, he just did his duty. He tried to save jesus at one point. It was the public’s view at the time to kill jesus for supposed blasphemy.
This whole movie is perfection in its silliness. I'll always thoroughly enjoy this adaptation for not taking itself seriously. You can just tell the actors are having a blast.
I love the" someone Christ King of the Jews" line because back then a lot of people actually claimed to be the messiah. This was a fairly common occurrence, which is why the villians refer to Jesus and his disciples as yet another uprising. It happened all the time.
It was a horrible choice to give that line to Annas. The line is supposed to be said by one of the Roman guards, but it makes no since for Annas to say it. As one of the Pharisees, Annas is involved with bringing the case against Jesus, so it's stupid for him to pretend he doesn't know who Jesus is. Also, the priests would never refer to Jesus as "King of the Jews," not even mockingly. That is completely out of character.
This dude is such an *incredible* Pilate. By far the best of any cast. He's an aggressive, strong, asshole who is also somehow timid, weak, and sympathetic. Sooooooooooo good.
2:10 this moment is great - Pilate shows his true self here, despite his way over the top tough guy persona he's already scared as hell - he realises he's dream is coming true. He just sent the prisoner to Herod in hope to get rid of him.
2:02 Mary's reaction to "He's Herod's race" got me feeling like "What, is he a brutal killer?! Does he torture people in violent ways before violating their mutilated corpse at moon light?!" And then we advance to "King Herod's Song" and he's like an irish tv presenter with a throat problem.
Mary’s terrified of Herod because he’s in all definition, crazy. Let’s not forget the “Hey, aren’t you scared of me, Christ?” bit from Herod’s song. He was fucking *PISSED* there.
They went for a particularly over the top performance, it would be a bit weird if the singing was very subtle and controlled while he's dressed as a Nazi in a leather jacket.
This performance is in a league it’s own. Honestly it’s been like 12 years since I’ve seen this film but this is the performance that stuck in my mind - an extremely powerful man who needs to maintain appearances, but actually cares about justice. I don’t think I’ve seen another version quite like this.
Herod was a dictator and was an asshole so they knew he wouldn’t try Jesus fairly. When Jesus was born Herod planned on killing him because he didn’t want another king.
@@Battmatt22 I think you’re mistaking Herod the Great who planned on killing Jesus when he was born, with his son and successor Herod Antipas (the one portrayed here)
Just came here to say Fred Johanson is GORGEOUS. I was shocked and amazed from the very first second of Pilate's solo and can't breathe listening and watching to it. Yup, that's a bit like Disney cartoons, but THAT is NOT a mi~nus🎵so to say... If you look closely, btw, you'd understand why this hyperbole exists. Fred is pretty accurate in his acting.
In this case I thing the 70s version is better. I change on the songs on which I prefer so not one to think one is better than the other. His sharp endings do sound more challenging but the original version sound better as a whole. What surprised me is that Marys wardrobe malfunction in this scene made it past the censors.
2:11 I love how he looks nervously around the room like "They're buying it right? They're not gonna make him stay right?" I love the subtle acting here cause he spends the rest of the scene putting up his front of disgust and not caring at all for Jesus but in reality his mere presence terrifies him because he knows the prophecy in his dream is coming true.
The vocals for “wat do you mean by that? That is not an answer” were stunningly terrifying. This version of Pilate is better than the original from 1978
Couldn't agree more. This dude is such an *incredible* Pilate. By far the best of any cast. He's an aggressive, strong, asshole who is also somehow timid, weak, and sympathetic. Sooooooooooo good. I can't believe the amount of people hating him in the comments. Truly surprises me.
@@davecarsley8773 people hate because they cant differentiate.. he is doing a good job and its not his fault the director put him in this fancy roman nazi uniform.. but it is hard, i also prefer the 70s version, but i do see your point with pilate. although i also like the week doubting pilate of the old version. i also believe aggresion doesnt go with him as much as it goes with herod and the phariseski
wow, I can watch it again and again!! This PIlate is a masterpiece. his face is so expressive than it feels the music goes to the second plan. simple love him, great acting
I love Maria's big dramatic "Nooo", when he mentions Herod. I don't know if it's meant sincere or half-ironic, but with this version's Herod, it's bound to mean something 😊
Pilate: Who is this broken man cluttering up my hallway? Who is this unfortunate? Soldier: Someone Christ - King of the Jews Pilate: Oh so this is Jesus Christ, I am really quite surprised You look so small - not a king at all We all know that you are news - but are you king King of the Jews? Jesus: That's what you say Pilate: What do you mean by that? That is not an answer You're deep in trouble friend - Someone Christ - King of the Jews How can someone in your state be so cool about your fate? An amazing thing - this silent king Since you come from Galilee then you need not come to me You're Herod's race! You're Herod's case! Mob: Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Sanna Ho and how Hey JC, JC please explain to me You had everything where is it now?
It's funny because I originally thought that Pilate's uniform was based on WWII German uniforms, but Bison's outfit is actually based on WWII Japanese uniforms.
What surprised me about this scene was that the wardrobe malfunction made it past the editors. On the actual film release I was surprised how much I liked it. I was prepared for a disappointment as I had watched the original film version growing up.
This is my favorite version in terms of visual story telling, waaay more compelling than the original 73 version. I really like this version more, even if Juda's voice is not the best in some moments (but he is definitely a better Judas in all other respects) and this Jesus' Gethsemane isn't as powerful. I think it is overall a more powerful movie. Sue me.
I just saw both this and the 2018 NBC version--and maybe it's because I saw this first--but I really prefer this version of Pilate. It may be over the top, but it is damn fun to listen to.
I’ve watched this film and this Show so many times I’m honestly imagining this show with Michael Palin’s Pilate from the life of Brian, just imagine how hilarious that would be!
I've never understood how this scene jibes with the Dream scene where Pilate is all tearful and scared that he's going to be blamed for Jesus' death, and yet here, he's all for it.
My opinion only, I think Pilate is aware Jesus is the "broken man" he dreamed of (from 2:11 to 2:14) thus he cleverly pass the burden onto King Herod, just note how gravely Pilate sounded in "Trial by Pilate" at beginning when the case was thrown back at him and how desperately he fought for not killing Jesus (in this musical) because now he will be personally responsible for his death.
And the way Pilate nervously surveys the room after he ordered Jesus to be sent to Herod shows his fear and his sense of not wanting to be in this position.
actually it was Pilate's wife that had a dream about Jesus not Pilate himself . Pilate asked him again and again are u king of the Jews . and Jesus did say this " it is as you say ". Pilate and King Herod II were enemies at first before becoming friends
This entire film is the most emotional one, everybody seem to understood the character they were playing. Lately I seen lots of emotionless versions and more christian directed ones (cough cough john legend cough cough) who have no relation with the actual vision. The 70s version is a classic, yes, but it also lacks a lot of emotion (probably that was because they filmed on location and the weather made them uncomfortable most of the time)
I love the original movie but this version stands up for itself. Yes, the original movie is IMHO better but this is very good and just second because of the original one.
"What do you mean by that?" Pilate asked calmly
"I didn't put my name into the goblet"
Pilate is casted as a Tenor, but Fred Johanson is actually a Bass-Baritone. He is absolutely incredible
Definitely not a bass-baritone. I would definitely say he is a true baritone, but he has great extension into upper register

Fred Johansson=Best Pilate
Rumor has it that blood was found in pilate's cocaine-stream

Really
1:14 did I just hear a sheep bleat?

*Excelente esse actor, no papel de Pilatos.*
First line
**dies by laughing**
***goes to hell from dying from laughter throughout the whole song***
Im used to the original
Everyone is talking because the nostalgia, but this is better and more powerful version.
Yeah... If u don't understand the characters
Absolutely
@@dkb9364 Ahh yes. Because Katherine's interpretation is the only one that matters.
Idiot
I freaking LOVE Annas (the pale bald guy) here. He's so... infernal.
I love this
This very is just 🔥. I love his Pilate!
Bison have a great voice :)
I love this. It's International Mr. Leather Pilate and his court!
AAAHHHHHHFUFHDVDG I LOVE PILOT IN THIS HE IS SO BAD ASS AND SAD AND RELATABLE ALL IN ONE. WHAT A CHARACTER MY THEATER KID HEART MELTING RIGHT NOW
What surprised me about this scene was that the wardrobe malfunction made it past the editors.
On the actual film release I was surprised how much I liked it. I was prepared for a disappointment as I had watched the original film version growing up.
What makes you think they didn't notice?
True, true. Though what surprises me more is the tw*teratti and offenseologists missed it in this day and age. :-D
This is my favorite version in terms of visual story telling, waaay more compelling than the original 73 version. I really like this version more, even if Juda's voice is not the best in some moments (but he is definitely a better Judas in all other respects) and this Jesus' Gethsemane isn't as powerful. I think it is overall a more powerful movie. Sue me.
MackTalks you have been served
Totally agree. I can't believe how many people in the comments don't like this Pilate. I think he's AMAZING
Carl anderson just IS Judas. Sorry
I just saw both this and the 2018 NBC version--and maybe it's because I saw this first--but I really prefer this version of Pilate. It may be over the top, but it is damn fun to listen to.
How is it possible his face never quite matches with his voice when both of them are going SO HARD?
BEST. PILATE. EVER!!
0:49. It's either Dobby or Gollum. I'm not quite sure. You tell me.
Rammstein style Pilate..
yeah, I was loooking for explaining why afret watching this video I wanted to listen to Till!!
I love their uniforms
I’ve watched this film and this Show so many times I’m honestly imagining this show with Michael Palin’s Pilate from the life of Brian, just imagine how hilarious that would be!
I love this musical
Pilate just kills. He's so good.
I've never understood how this scene jibes with the Dream scene where Pilate is all tearful and scared that he's going to be blamed for Jesus' death, and yet here, he's all for it.
My opinion only, I think Pilate is aware Jesus is the "broken man" he dreamed of (from 2:11 to 2:14) thus he cleverly pass the burden onto King Herod, just note how gravely Pilate sounded in "Trial by Pilate" at beginning when the case was thrown back at him and how desperately he fought for not killing Jesus (in this musical) because now he will be personally responsible for his death.
And the way Pilate nervously surveys the room after he ordered Jesus to be sent to Herod shows his fear and his sense of not wanting to be in this position.
So is Pilate a charged character? How can I perform his Psycho Crusher?
I love how uncomfortable Pilate looks once the crowd takes over at the end.
actually it was Pilate's wife that had a dream about Jesus not Pilate himself . Pilate asked him again and again are u king of the Jews . and Jesus did say this " it is as you say ". Pilate and King Herod II were enemies at first before becoming friends
1:19 - 1:25: That’s what Pilate did when he didn’t understand something at school.
He was astounding !!!!!!!
MB ACTUACION! BRAVO!
my favorite PART
*HEWAAAAAHT*
"King of the juice"
The best pilate ever
Ive seen him on stage for this show in uk tour.
1:15 "That's what you said", TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!
HWHAAAAAAT
Renee’s delivery as Mary having realisation that Jesus was giving them hints about all of this.
I don't remember M. Bison being in this musical.
1:32-1:38 I am in stitches, that is fucking hysterical
It's condescending and yet so funny
love this...
This entire film is the most emotional one, everybody seem to understood the character they were playing. Lately I seen lots of emotionless versions and more christian directed ones (cough cough john legend cough cough) who have no relation with the actual vision. The 70s version is a classic, yes, but it also lacks a lot of emotion (probably that was because they filmed on location and the weather made them uncomfortable most of the time)
He’s so over the top and it’s fucking excellent. He was easily the best part of the 2000 film
2:11 Seems that Pilate's eyes weren't the only thing popping out...!
seriously :) but yeah, that's what I love this about version...
Fred Johanson(Pilate) is Swedish and has portrayed the role in both English and Swedish versions of the musical!
I love the original movie but this version stands up for itself.
Yes, the original movie is IMHO better but this is very good and just second because of the original one.
this is by far the best version of the musical
Pilate is water boarding the role, but his voice is amazing
I can’t believe the day which I can comment has arrived:
Fred Johanson is the Ganondorf we need in the Zelda movie now that’s it’s real.
2:37 there’s myJesus, Ben Forster!
Quality vid, thank you!
That's a *VEEEEERY* fitting thumbnail.
