all of this is so Iconic...the leather... the mesh.... the boots.... the hair.... the eye makeup.... also, I love how this mary is, like, a grown ass woman. most productions I've seen try to make her hyperfeminine and girlish, with long glossy hair and a flowy dress, but this mary seems more grown, more sensible
like, this mary isn't just in this whole thing because she's in love with jesus. sure, that's a part of it, but she's also there because she believes in the cause and wants change.
Damn. Jesus sensually kisses Mary Magdeleine, totally wigs her out-like, what the hell, man, I thought you were different. Then Judas, who's been observing this, comes in, dumps the two of them out of the swing in a jealous rage, tries to kiss Jesus himself and Jesus smacks him across the mouth, drawing blood. Jesus immediately regrets it, but he's driven Judas crazy and he now heads to the high priests? And Jesus finally allows Judas that lingering kiss in Gethsamane as the kiss of betrayal... Am I reading all this right?! It's a love triangle doomed from the start. This is a stunning theme that doesn't happen in any other version I've ever seen.
Yeah this whole staging was genius, but esp this bit you're describing. I've never cared for that song in other versions, but this staging really changed the whole dynamic.
@@cinemaocd1752 Y'know Cinema. I totally agree. As others have said, Judas is stunning. But the total transformation of the Magdeleine brings new meanings to every song she sings. She's a woman that's been around and has some genuine life experience. I've been calling this "The Viking Superstar"
How can you even exist in a room with yourself after having hurt your eyes with this disrespectful filth of Satan. Why are you so perverted? I refuse to be sad for you.
Idk if Peter Johansson reads these, but I want him to know that this performance helped me understand my gender identity and I wanted to say thank you so much you are a gift to this world
This version is great! Luckily I only have an issue with translated musicals when I can understand both versions well (so German-English usually), since you can understand all the ways they messed the translations up...
It’s the time of year where I watch all the versions of JCS I have. This one (which my husband and I affectionately call Swedish Christ Superstar) is one of our favorites! Amazing job by everyone involved! I love that this musical can take risks with its setting and how you play the relationships between the characters, and this production takes all the right risks and it pays off!
My favorite musical of all time, JCS. I'm an Australian, so I don't speak Swedish, but I know this play so well that I don't need to speak the language. The singing and performing speak for themselves. A couple of stand out performances, but I love the passion that every actor puts into their character. I loved it, thank you.
I saw and heard a lot of versions of JCS, but this one is definitely my favorite and I keep coming back to it all the time. I love the dynamic between Jesus, Judas and Mary, and I really appreciate that the production did not shy away from showing the romantic aspects of Jesus's and Judas's relationship, and how they made Mary a grown woman and not very young. And I don't know if you will ever read this Peter, but your performance is simply perfect. Your voice and your acting are incredible and you're without a doubt the best Judas ever.
@Daniel Deering What exactly do you mean by No??? Rude much? If you're going to disagree with my opinion and (very well deserved) praise, at least give a reason.
I am in love with this version. I've watched so many different productions of JCSS and this is by far my favorite. Outstanding performance from everyone, especially Judas.
I'm writing my thesis on JCS and I just found this production... the best for sure, I'm obsessed with this style and the character dynamics and the voices... It's a bit hard for me to hold my squeaking from joy to be really objective writing about it but I'm trying. Bless you vikings (henlo from Russia)!
I really enjoy this version! It's clear that the characters genuinely care abt each other from the first couple of songs. The aesthetic choices are great, wonderful acting, just overall a great experience! Also, thank you for putting this up on YT to watch for free!!!
A couple of days ago i would have said the 2012 tour with Tim Minchin was the best JCS. Now it's THIS ONE, I wish I'd seen it earlier but I'm so glad i did now. This is everything i ever imagined and more. And if you ever read this, Peter, you are exactly perfect. Please never take these videos down, i have them in my favourites list to rewatch. 💜
I remember being completely floored when my parents took me to watch the show! For at least 8 years now, I have listened to the soundtrack over and over, I know it by heart now - and recently realized it’s available for FREE! My favorite cast: Peter IS Judas, Salo IS Jesus and everyone else is just top notch casted! Thank you, thousand times over, for honoring this musical masterpiece! And - Peter - your singing is Divine! Have a good one xx
Peter, hey, the English line "you have set them all on fire" What is the English translation for the Swedish version of this line? It sounds like maybe "you have them hypnotized"?
@@timothylowe5603 , the Swedish line in this production is "Du har försatt dom i hypnos, dom säger Jesus är Guds son", which directly translated means "You have placed them under hypnosis, they're saying Jesus is God's son" - as you rightly assumed. As always when translating an artistic text there's that fine line and balance. One needs to apply a degree of creative lenience and freedom in order to make the text flow properly, while still conveying the message. I think over all the Swedish translation of JCS was great, even though I /do/ miss some of the more dramatic wordings and lines from the original English lyrics written so beautifully by Tim Rice. Still, over all I have to say that they managed to create a version where not too much got lost in translation. Most of the current generations basically have English as a second language these days. We start learning English very young at school here in Sweden, and there's social media of course. But there's still something special about hearing this musical being preformed in my native tongue. I'm also so happily surprised to see so many watching and commenting despite not knowing Swedish. That's really cool! Wow. Long response... sorry 'bout that! xD Well wishes, happiness, health, love and all that good stuff~
I know I'm just repeating everyone here but Judas is phenomenal! I may not understand a word, but I know the English lyrics by heart so that's not a problem and I'm totally gonna watch Act 2 now.
So I speak Danish and can understand this decently well but either way I lose my absolute mind at the line 'Jesus lille snickarson' (6:45). It sounds fucking hilarious and the way you deliver it, Peter, is 10/10
HOTTEST cast ever. Too bad its not in English, but its still amazing, since i know the words from the rock album almost completely by heart. I love the different renditions of this show. I always wanted to play Pilate, but I am a girl, but i can sing his parts. Probably not as good as these others, but i love Jesus Christ Superstar.
Linday Mohegan i saw some production of jcs casted Pilate as female because in the bible Pilate’s wife who actually dream about Jesus, so some production feel it’s alright to put Pilate as a woman because they can response to the audiences “see! this is a composite character”. I used to work in JCS production for Payap University Chiang Mai, Thailand when I studied there. :)
Our version of Pilate was a woman, a badass alto who KILLED it. I was in JCS 6 years ago as a Priest and I'm about to be in it again this summer as Caiaphas so, I'm super excited overall :3
This production was such a large part of my childhood (lived close to the theatre). The joy I felt when I found it’s fully uploaded to TH-cam!! Showed it to so many non swede friends. Also, it can’t only be me who thinks this, but Judas looks so similar to Geralt from the Netflix Witcher adaptation 😂❤
I still come back and watch this every few months because it’s just a jaw-dropping production and I’m so utterly thankful that you’ve made it available for others to enjoy- I love it so intensely, you’ve done an amazing thing and I’m so,, in awe of your performance, you are absolutely incredible on stage and you have all of this american midwestern teenagers admiration
Hej Peter, måste bara tacka dig för din otroliga prestation i denna musikal. Jesus Christ Superstar är verkligen en otrolig musikal då både ateister och religiösa kan finna meddelanden i den, och denna produktion sannerligen lyfter fram vad Judas kan ha tänkt om han verkligen existerat. Ett sant mästerverk ni producerat och jag är verkligen glad att det arkiverats på youtube för sådana som jag som inte kunde se det när det kom ut!
Peter, i hope you read this. This is my favorite musical, I try to see all the versions that exist and I no longer know how many times I saw this production. Is innovative and hypnotic and your judas is touching, sooooo touching. You really convey all the anguish, guilt and love that the character feels for Jesus. Thank you for your beautiful art. Greetings from Argentina!
Well I rewatch this after 2 months and I say this is one of the best performances ever. I saw the russian version of this show, and despite that they sing ok, they have a little of this passion and talent of you and your team, Peter. Thank you so much. Thank you for the totally original and brave performance. Thank you for showing real love and passion.
Well thats the most interesting 45ish mins ive spent watching you tube. Amazing to watch even though i didnt understand the lyrics. My fav judas is Tim Minchin but holy god this is a really close second (i like tim minchin.....sorry), amazing voice, amazing looks...... Jesus was just mesmerising too. My mind is blown xxx
@@imme246 THe way he walks, I think he actually needs the cane, yet he managed to work it in to his character. I have been doing theatre since 1980, mostly acting. I am losing my ability to walk (am only 58) and I envy that actor
@@crooked_mermaid Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas and the former High Priest. Rome deposed him and his son took over. Rome deposed his son and Caiaphas was put in Office where he remained for 15 years. This shows he collaborated with Rome rather well. For the Jews, the High Priest was in Office for life. In the Gospel of John, Jesus is taken to Annas for questioning before He is taken to Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin. This may be out of respect for Annas as High Priest..../ As to the Annas in the video, like I said, the actor is amazing in the role. I hae seen many versions of Superstar and he has gone beyond the script. I actually believe the actor needs a cane off stage (in "real life") and managed to work with it rather than have his disability work against him. I do not know this to be a fact but watching him makes me think that, at least when they made this, he did need the cane.
Aw man, I was studying abroad in Denmark from the US in 2014, and if I'd known this was happening I would have done everything I could to see it live! Absolutely wonderful, thank you for posting this so we can still watch it. JCSS has been one of my favorite musicals since I was a child, and this staging was so unique!
I love this version of the show even if i don’t understand the lyrics, hopefully i know them in english. The costumes and the relation between Judas and Jesus are awesome. Hi from France !
I keep coming back to this performance because I just love everything about it so much !! The relationship between Jesus and Judas just has me utterly captivated, excellent performances from all :)) !!
Best Judas, best Jesus, best Pilate and the best Annas ever. I feel like I could write a thousand page essay about what makes this production so good. Love it.
I don't know a lick of Swedish but I've seen jesus Christ superstar enough and am a Christian to know what's going on and the plot. This version is beautiful and I've seen it about 3 times already and it's my favourite version I've ever seen
I remember watching this when it was playing at the theater Göta Lejon with Ola Salo when I was 10 or 11 and loving it and that this performance was what cemented my love for musicals.
I'm in another JCS phase in my life as a musical nerd rn, and I gotta say- this is my favorite production! So many little choices were made that set this apart from the other sets, it's brilliant. The acting, the costumes, lighting, the damn shopping cart, and most of all the sometimes changed lyrics, it just all adds up. Jesus is a diva in this and I'm living for it, haha. Not sure if that's my favorite characterization of him but it fits here and is so well played. And ofc the shining star of this production is Judas!!! My absolute favorite Judas! I'm sorry Tim Minchin and Carl Anderson, but THIS Judas is just everything I never knew I needed. I must've watched the whole thing around 5 times in a row by now-
Currently as I'm writing this, there's a proshot of JCS in English starring Tim Minchin and Ben Forster available, but even when i watch that one all i can think about is "damn now i wanna watch the 2014 Swedish tour one"
Seriöst den bästa musikal som jag någonsin har sett!Finns den på dvd med just denna uppsättning skådisar???Wow vilken magi!Skulle vilja se dom live!Fredrik var jätte bra här med😍
Jag älskar SJCS! I started learning Swedish 8 months ago and I hope there's a Reunion of this with Ola and Peter and everyone. Peter du är en fantastisk Judas!! (Apologies if the Swedish is wrong :) )
I found this the other day, and I've been listening to it on loop ever since, the performances from everybody are absolutely incredible!! I think this might be one of my favorite performances of Damned for all Time I've ever seen, the energy is incredible, and the emotion when Judas breathes out "Gethsemane" at the end gives me chills. This is definitely my favorite Mary Magdalene I've seen as well, Gunilla Backman absolutely kills it. I've always enjoyed Jesus Christ Superstar, but I think this production has reignited my love of it, and bumped it back up to one of my favorites! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!
This is quickly turning into my favorite JCS production from the costuming to the singing. Tack så mycket for uploading! (my Swedish is terrible but I'm working on it)
I really loved the way Judas tells the Pharisees where Jesus will be. He hesitates at every step and it pains him to say “Gethsemene” but when he finally does, it’s like a weight lifts off of him for a second before guilt weighs him down again. It really shows the inner turmoil he is going through and how he genuinely loved Jesus and didn’t want to turn him in, but thought it was the right thing to do. Then, he immediately regrets it.
I thought the English lyrics of Heaven on their minds were a painfully accurate description about what Christianity has morphed into, but the Swedish ones are even better! I never thought I could like a translation more than the original! Also why did it take me this long to discover this masterpiece?😍
Sweden and other Scandinavian countries are so underrated. Come on I mean they had Abba, and Finland is one of the only countries to do heavy metal in the Eurovision. I also think Sweden may have won the most times in Eurovision, they are certainly close to having the most wins. I hope they get the recognition one day. 👏
Judas - wow! I don't know why you were dressed as Legolas but man you can sing and act. Peter Johansson is the superstar here, no doubt. As for the rest... I know everyone thinks they're a theatre critic on TH-cam but the concept for this is just so bizarre. I realise the intention was clearly to do something "different" but setting JCS against a goth, gay vampire/elvish S&M backdrop - with some cameos from the teachers at Hogwarts? Really? But like I said: Judas - wow!
I've watched this production so many times now, and each time I'm still noticing things that surprise me. But Peter, you've absolutely stolen the show here! One of the most impressive actors to play Judas I've ever seen.
Haha, alltså jag måste bara säga, att den här versionen av JCS är så jävla bra!! Tror jag har lyssnat på den i säkert två månader i streck nu - älskar temat, kostymerna, älskar att det är så bra cast i ensemblen med fantastiska röster, men alltså tolkningen av Judas... den är så sjukt bra!! Grym du är!! 😍❤️ Översättningen är också riktigt bra, trodde inte jag skulle gilla en svensk version, men jag är helt blown away 🙌🏽 grymma är ni! 🌸
Såg den live i Stockholm för många år sedan men återvänder till föreställningen för att uppleva kärleken,livet och kampen. Samspelet mellan Jesus,Judas och Maria är så mångbottnat och djupt , mitt sätt att läsa nya testamentet,utan att hända.
I was about to complain about this performance not being in English but from the moment Judas started singing it was like being in a trance! The Swedish language is beautiful!😍
excellent performance, act Ⅰ had me laughing all the time, really, it's effing hilarious, while act Ⅱ made me a little bit sad. splendid show and wonderful cast, xxoo
Jag är så glad att jag hittade detta. Min favorit-musikal med världens bästa Judas. Jag såg den live, du var helt perfekt. Har också sett champions of rock såklart.
Im watching this 4 years later, but damn this is AMAZING! I dont understand a word what theyre saying, but still I feel that I completely understand the plot. Im now seriously considering learning Swedish, just because I want to know what theyre saying and the singing just sounds awesome!
I don’t understand a word that is being said and I only know a few of the songs by heart, but I am still thoroughly entranced by this production. I’ve seen a lot of productions modernize the setting and characters of JCS but the aesthetic in this production is really unique and interesting. I really like it.
![กี่หมื่นฟ้า | Your Sky Series EP.1 [2/4]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qJbQs_nhjD4/mqdefault.jpg)
goddamnit the chemistry between Jesus and Judas in this version is just... wow.
It's time! My wife and I watch Swedish Christ Superstar every Easter evening! Incredible version!
all of this is so Iconic...the leather... the mesh.... the boots.... the hair.... the eye makeup.... also, I love how this mary is, like, a grown ass woman. most productions I've seen try to make her hyperfeminine and girlish, with long glossy hair and a flowy dress, but this mary seems more grown, more sensible
like, this mary isn't just in this whole thing because she's in love with jesus. sure, that's a part of it, but she's also there because she believes in the cause and wants change.
gunilla backman's mary is God Tier and i will stan her until the end of time
Okay but how am I supposed to just not ship jesus and Judas in this version
Damn. Jesus sensually kisses Mary Magdeleine, totally wigs her out-like, what the hell, man, I thought you were different. Then Judas, who's been observing this, comes in, dumps the two of them out of the swing in a jealous rage, tries to kiss Jesus himself and Jesus smacks him across the mouth, drawing blood.

Thank you!!!
That's so cute because I had a similar experience with a different fandom... JCS is truly amazing.
@@Peterj0hansson well well well!!!! if it isn't pilate!!!!! how are you ????
This Jesus is truly chaotic bi
¨That is an accurate description of Ola Salo
i paused this and said “idk if im committed to 45 minuted of swedish” but then i heard judas’ voice and just woah
Lucia Dakin 🙏😃🤟 that’s a great compliment
@@Peterj0hansson Amazing! I'm addicted to this musical- now even more so.

Omg the overture is so long in this that I forgot I was watching it in Swedish and was shook when he started singing 😂😂😭
I first listened to this musical three days ago and I'm already obsessed enough to be watching full-length Swedish area tours of it.
Holy shit the caiaphas...the vocal range and that tone. Never heard smth this unique! Also i stan conchita jesus and legolas judas
Sakucheery12 his name is Jan Åström and he is indeed amazing!!! 👍👍

I love these characterizations so much every character is somehow infinitely more and much less likeable than usual like they feel very human

Aw man, I was studying abroad in Denmark from the US in 2014, and if I'd known this was happening I would have done everything I could to see it live! Absolutely wonderful, thank you for posting this so we can still watch it. JCSS has been one of my favorite musicals since I was a child, and this staging was so unique!
dyeanotherday thank you ☺️👍🙏
I love this version of the show even if i don’t understand the lyrics, hopefully i know them in english. The costumes and the relation between Judas and Jesus are awesome. Hi from France !
Ethany Troyabed thank you! 🙏 I’m glad you like it ☺️☀️
I keep coming back to this performance because I just love everything about it so much !! The relationship between Jesus and Judas just has me utterly captivated, excellent performances from all :)) !!
Best Judas, best Jesus, best Pilate and the best Annas ever. I feel like I could write a thousand page essay about what makes this production so good. Love it.
I don't know a lick of Swedish but I've seen jesus Christ superstar enough and am a Christian to know what's going on and the plot. This version is beautiful and I've seen it about 3 times already and it's my favourite version I've ever seen
I remember watching this when it was playing at the theater Göta Lejon with Ola Salo when I was 10 or 11 and loving it and that this performance was what cemented my love for musicals.
I'm in another JCS phase in my life as a musical nerd rn, and I gotta say- this is my favorite production! So many little choices were made that set this apart from the other sets, it's brilliant. The acting, the costumes, lighting, the damn shopping cart, and most of all the sometimes changed lyrics, it just all adds up.
Jesus is a diva in this and I'm living for it, haha. Not sure if that's my favorite characterization of him but it fits here and is so well played.
And ofc the shining star of this production is Judas!!! My absolute favorite Judas! I'm sorry Tim Minchin and Carl Anderson, but THIS Judas is just everything I never knew I needed.
I must've watched the whole thing around 5 times in a row by now-
Currently as I'm writing this, there's a proshot of JCS in English starring Tim Minchin and Ben Forster available, but even when i watch that one all i can think about is "damn now i wanna watch the 2014 Swedish tour one"
Thank you!!! :-)
i’m here bc my friend gab said if i watched this they would watch mozart la’opera rock and tbh... Very worth it holy Shit i’m in love with this cast
A very worthy trade off
sydney m. 🥳👍🙏
There’s this touch of madness in Judas’ eyes when he hits the high notes at 5:40 and I’m here for it
Som jag har längtat! Nu kan jag äntligen få återuppleva denna underbara musikal
I love Mary Magdalena. 40:20 is exactly how I thought Judas should have been played, maybe not as obvious, but definitely that dynamic.

Soooooo..... true!
@@serinerefis9786 Are you ok?
Seriöst den bästa musikal som jag någonsin har sett!Finns den på dvd med just denna uppsättning skådisar???Wow vilken magi!Skulle vilja se dom live!Fredrik var jätte bra här med😍
Tack så mycket att du har lagt upp denna! Fantastiskt framträdande som Judas!!
Mina F tack 🙏☺️
Jag älskar SJCS! I started learning Swedish 8 months ago and I hope there's a Reunion of this with Ola and Peter and everyone. Peter du är en fantastisk Judas!! (Apologies if the Swedish is wrong :) )
I found this the other day, and I've been listening to it on loop ever since, the performances from everybody are absolutely incredible!! I think this might be one of my favorite performances of Damned for all Time I've ever seen, the energy is incredible, and the emotion when Judas breathes out "Gethsemane" at the end gives me chills. This is definitely my favorite Mary Magdalene I've seen as well, Gunilla Backman absolutely kills it. I've always enjoyed Jesus Christ Superstar, but I think this production has reignited my love of it, and bumped it back up to one of my favorites! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!
Thank you!!
damn swedish metal jcs is just too good to be true
This is quickly turning into my favorite JCS production from the costuming to the singing. Tack så mycket for uploading! (my Swedish is terrible but I'm working on it)
I don't speak or understand Swedish but I love this Judas! So- translating to English in my head. And continuing to watch.
THE BEST jesus christ superstar EVER. Thank your for this Peter - love, two homosexuals
Thanks for the post, i allways wanted to watch the ola salo's version
I really loved the way Judas tells the Pharisees where Jesus will be. He hesitates at every step and it pains him to say “Gethsemene” but when he finally does, it’s like a weight lifts off of him for a second before guilt weighs him down again. It really shows the inner turmoil he is going through and how he genuinely loved Jesus and didn’t want to turn him in, but thought it was the right thing to do. Then, he immediately regrets it.
I thought the English lyrics of Heaven on their minds were a painfully accurate description about what Christianity has morphed into, but the Swedish ones are even better! I never thought I could like a translation more than the original! Also why did it take me this long to discover this masterpiece?😍
Sweden and other Scandinavian countries are so underrated. Come on I mean they had Abba, and Finland is one of the only countries to do heavy metal in the Eurovision. I also think Sweden may have won the most times in Eurovision, they are certainly close to having the most wins. I hope they get the recognition one day. 👏
Thanks you guys’ performance, i just fall in love with this version! Pretty cool and Rock, amazing!:)
've been watching this for like 30 times(seems like ninety) and tack så mycket with my life this is so precious...
Had no idea that this whas filmed :D. This translation is the best! Bether then some of the english ;).
Judas - wow! I don't know why you were dressed as Legolas but man you can sing and act. Peter Johansson is the superstar here, no doubt. As for the rest... I know everyone thinks they're a theatre critic on TH-cam but the concept for this is just so bizarre. I realise the intention was clearly to do something "different" but setting JCS against a goth, gay vampire/elvish S&M backdrop - with some cameos from the teachers at Hogwarts? Really? But like I said: Judas - wow!
Sharon Maxwell I think the style here is trying to capture the Swedish rock visual style
@Sharon Maxwell You nailed it :-) "Cameos from the teachers at Howgarts" just blew me away. You only forgot to mention the SW lightsabers we saw...
Exactly what I thought: Legolas is singing Elvish Rock Opera and it's stunning.
I've watched this production so many times now, and each time I'm still noticing things that surprise me. But Peter, you've absolutely stolen the show here! One of the most impressive actors to play Judas I've ever seen.
this is amazing!!! love how they managed the relationship of judas and jesus, i keep coming back to see it!!
Thank you very much Peter. I ve been waiting for the full version long time. ))
Anybody else think Peter Johansson as Judas looks like Henry Cavill in the witcher? No just me?
Omg. I can't unsee it now
Haha, alltså jag måste bara säga, att den här versionen av JCS är så jävla bra!! Tror jag har lyssnat på den i säkert två månader i streck nu - älskar temat, kostymerna, älskar att det är så bra cast i ensemblen med fantastiska röster, men alltså tolkningen av Judas... den är så sjukt bra!! Grym du är!! 😍❤️ Översättningen är också riktigt bra, trodde inte jag skulle gilla en svensk version, men jag är helt blown away 🙌🏽 grymma är ni! 🌸
Tusen tack!! :-)
Pretty cool. Is like a vampire clan or something. i like it :)
DirtyDayMix 🥳🦇🤟😂
Såg den live i Stockholm för många år sedan men återvänder till föreställningen för att uppleva kärleken,livet och kampen.
Samspelet mellan Jesus,Judas och Maria är så mångbottnat och djupt , mitt sätt att läsa nya testamentet,utan att hända.
Watching this and I don't know a word of Swedish.
Jem Pimentel 😂🥳👍
This is fantastic! So much better than the UK version, both with the vocals and the dynamics between the characters.
I was about to complain about this performance not being in English but from the moment Judas started singing it was like being in a trance! The Swedish language is beautiful!😍
I'm now literally asking Jesus for help with my mandatory Swedish exams
WAIT A SECOND. TAMMI??? TAMMI IS THAT YOU
excellent performance, act Ⅰ had me laughing all the time, really, it's effing hilarious, while act Ⅱ made me a little bit sad. splendid show and wonderful cast, xxoo
Equally impressing every re-watch!
Jag är så glad att jag hittade detta. Min favorit-musikal med världens bästa Judas. Jag såg den live, du var helt perfekt. Har också sett champions of rock såklart.
Im watching this 4 years later, but damn this is AMAZING! I dont understand a word what theyre saying, but still I feel that I completely understand the plot. Im now seriously considering learning Swedish, just because I want to know what theyre saying and the singing just sounds awesome!
There’s a version with Eng subtitles somewhere on YT
Tillbaka här igen... Magiskt! Och återigen ; du är bäst Peter - bästa Judas någonsin!
Holy Shit! Outstanding.
Really, you’re better then Tim Minchin was.
And that Kiss!
Has a post-apocolyptic feel
INCREIBLE.....................VERY VERY NICE............BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO FARINELLI......
I have been browsing through a lot of JCS versions and this is by far the most original, it really surprised me
Right!! It feels so different from other versions
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!! I've been dying to see this!!!
Wow! Such a different interpretation than all the others I’ve seen, and it’s wonderful!
I don’t understand a word that is being said and I only know a few of the songs by heart, but I am still thoroughly entranced by this production. I’ve seen a lot of productions modernize the setting and characters of JCS but the aesthetic in this production is really unique and interesting. I really like it.
Hi there from Singapore! I wish you'd have a nice evening =)
This is like the vampire versión or the castlevania version
Zoan Series Oficial 😂🤟🦇
The music is very adequate.❤
on Thursday night you will find him where you want him!!!!! far from the crowds in the garden of Gethsemane !!!!!!
The Babel Tower was a true punish- ment.The people became truly devided on starting to speak in different langua ges.
I remember seeing this live, it was really good, which surprised me since I don't really watch musicals.
El mejor musical de jesucristo súper estrella que he visto y escuchado, soy de México, y quedé impactada. QUE GRAN NIVEL DE ARTISTAS.
Jesus Cyberpunk 2077
i saw the kiss. i’m enticed.
