So because a lots of you asked for description. This production was directed by Sándor Silló and choreographed by György Krámer, who also made the first hungarian Jesus Christ Superstar back in 1986. The conductor was László Zádori. The idea was, that as Operas usually sang in their original language, JCS as a rockopera should be too this time. This is an all hungarian cast, no foreigners. The stage was build in front of Szombathely's iconic Isis sanctuary, the Iseum. The main cast was: Jesus: Péter Schrott (th-cam.com/users/schrottpetifeatured) Judas: Dávid Schwartz Mary Magdalene: Linda Fekete Pilate: Zoltán Miller Caiphas: Géza Gábor Annas: Zsolt Kósa King Herod: Győző Szabó Simon: Tamás Kondor Péter: Ádám Poppre
А почему у главных героев немецкие фамилии? Вы пишите, что вся труппа- венгры?. А посиановка- супер! Почему Зилот в инвалидной коляске? Задумка режиссёра или актер болен?
This to me is one of the best versions I have ever seen along with the original film. The performances are great and the singers amazing. I have watched it many times and I am moved emotionally and spiritually each time. To anyone involved in this production and see my comment I just want to say Bravo!
I totally agree. Just watching this right now and I was in the off Broadway versions when this came out. As a professional actor and singer songwriter I am impressed so far but these are all singers not actors! I know speech infections and singing as well. Glad to see some real music for a change with the younger generation instead of the Rappers and the DJ's! j a y
@@jamesprice4255 Wow. That is exciting you performed in this production off broadway at the same time they were! I consider watching it a deep, moving experience something that totally envelops every part of your being. Andrew Lloyd Webber created a masterpiece. It must have been an amazing experience for you to be a part of it. I must say I have never met a professional singer songwriter and actor before. I was so happy to read your comment! I would ask you all kinds of questions about your experiences but there would not be enough room here in the comments lol. I agree with you about the music now. Where is the talent? So much of it is enhanced by various technical tricks because alot of the singers can't even sing! That's why it's so great when you run across such talent, skills and experience which I'm sure you have as well. I'm sorry to write a book here. So wonderful to talk to you in the comments. Thanks!
I watch all renditions of this play. I love the music. It’s so expressive. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and It fits with the eta. I haven’t this one.. just started it but I am sure it’s wonderful too
brings back SO many memories.........It was at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood and the Santa Monica theater...... a sign and production of the times....Memories, memories
I have seen several renditions of Superstar, done by a cast who had singers whose first language was not English. Singers who spoke German, French, Spanish, etc, but this version was done better than the others I saw. It is very difficult to do. Kudos to all involved in this wonderful production. The fast speed of this one just adds one more touch to set it apart from other versions. Thank you!
This was phenomenal!!!! Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, Pilot, Simon, even Herod were all absolutely fabulous singers n actors in n the dancers were so excellent, n the staging was awesome,!!!! The entire production was almost as great as the original movie too which I couldn't get on my phone, sadly, but this was sooo close that it made me extremely pleased that I found it!!! Thank you for Jesus Christ Superstar for Easter Sunday one and all!!!!!!👍🎶💖🐦💐🐤🥚🐰🐇
W.O.W what a good production... Such good actors/singers, dancers, musicians, costumes, choreagraphy... SUPER....But , a special shout out to Judas... He is just nailing every part of his role!
Incredible direction, incredible actors and singers! This is the very best Crowd I've seen in any productions, without questions. Jesus and Judas are amazing main characters, flawless vocals and emotion. The Priests are great! It's rare to see actually old men as priests. They look really mean and powerful, Annas and Caiaphas have amazing voices. Pilate is a great actor, showing off power with slightest gestures and inserting enough weight into his short lines. This show looked and sounded equally great. Cheers to our dear Hungarian neighbours from Ukraine!
Просто бомба! Ария Иисуса "l only want to say"- какие эмоции! Никогда не слышала такого идеального исполнения! Хоть для меня был эталоном Гиллан, но ... Это шедевр! Так я себе и представляла молитву Христа! Потрясающе! 👏👏👏👏👏
Fantastic show! The singing and dancing are out of this world, I have never seen such a good cast. Well done everyone👏👏👏 I forgot to praise the acting which was also superb. 🤗🤗thanks Peter for uploading this, it is the best one I have seen outside of the film.
This and the TV version (with Alice Cooper as King Herod) is just amazing. I like it just as much as I like the original film. The performance and the singers were just amazing.
This is my first time seeing Jesus Christ Superstar and I am awed by the passion and energy these actors brought! Such interesting directional choices, I love the addition of the devil character and the way the crowd was portrayed. Dammed for all time was done beautifully. Amazing talent!
I’m so glad this production used “We Are Decided”. I wish more productions would use it. I think it adds so much more depth to the story and the characters of Caiaphas and Annas. Also an interesting placement within “What’s The Buzz” but I can understand why it was done. Well done!
I love how this version adds in the resurrection. I get why the original didn’t have it but the simple addition of Jesus walking out of the tomb makes it 100 times better.
I completely agree! I was in a local production of this show in 1990. We added a scene where the soldiers took my friend Charlie off of the cross, and it made the show so much more emotional. The same with this production's resurrection scene.
I always thought that what the other productions do with the cross flashing at the end hinted at the Resurrection, but now I HAVE TO watch this version, thank you!

Best performance of JC Superstar I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen plenty of them! Choreography was 10 out of 10 and everybody hit those high notes even Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane! Mary is beautiful. Only thing I would have added is Jesus busting that cash register into a million pieces in the temple scene
Really enjoyed this version. So interesting to see singers whose first language is not English have to sing this very emotional musical! That must be quite difficult. Kind of cute when they mispronounce things. Really enjoyed the addition of the devil character.
I really love this performance. BRAVO. The singer who plays Jesus is a great he has the screams down pat. Also the singer who plays Judas is great too.

There was another version of JCS done by an Italian production company. But it's not on youtube anymore. This is the second best attempt for another foreign company to do JCS in English! Bravo to everyone!
my post for everybody is that dont forget this is theater and not a concert...you shold take a look to the energy and not for the dialect, because if i am takeing nother perfonces i can find a lot of mistakes.... :)

At last a Judas and a Jesus who are not screaming at the top of there voices but actually singing to the audiance, this version is better the the UK tour I saw a few months ago.
I thought this was really wonderful. Jesus & Judas are both incredible singers/performers. I found Jesus' Gethsemane to be one of the best I have heard in awhile! Pilate was great, as well. Very interesting how they veered from the original in so many ways, especially the use of angels & demons to persuade Judas. Also having Simon in a wheelchair was beautiful to see & what an amazing singer he is also! I would like to know what Peter is saying at the end? I also like that they bring out all the musicians at the end for recognition. Thank you for sharing!
This is what Peter saying: At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.
A wonderful production of JCS! One of the best I've seen! Jesus's performance is excellent ~his acting is as engaging as his singing. And a really fun take on Herod ! Will someone please tell me what the actor playing Herod says when he reads that little paper? Overall,I just really like the look and feel of this production. Thank you to everyone involved!
I'm 65. Amazing how once in a while we are "reminded" there are unknown gems from countries outside our own. Congrats Hungary! Most I've enjoyed JCS since I was 14
After reading the very good comments I must agree that this is a very impressive performance. The music of JCS is so thrilling! I tend only listen to JCS soundtracks not to see the musical show, BUT I must admit that is an exiting piece of work. What I also liked is that at the end when the actors are presented also the orchestra was presented on the stage - after all the music is soooo gooood.
Imo it’s better without the scene. The musical is supposed to leave it ambiguous whether or not Jesus is actually a magical figure. Hence his inability to save the lepers, or show King Herod anything fantastical, etc. It’s better if it’s also ambiguous whether Jesus rises from the dead.
That's kind of the whole point is that it's supposed to be ambiguous lol, I get why religious people might not like that, but It kind of ruins the intent of the play by doing that. Oh well.
Absolutely not. One of my favorite parts of the play is how, by leaving the resurrection out, they make it intentionally ambiguous whether Jesus was truly the Messiah or he was just a guy. Including that scene ruins a lot of the intent of the play.

You have to get a specific license to use it and most often they don't grant it
Completely enjoyable! Great energy and enthusiasm. Loved it. I've seen many versions and this is one of the best.

After reading the very good comments I must agree that this is a very impressive performance. The music of JCS is so thrilling!

What I also liked is that at the end when the actors are presented also the orchestra was presented on the stage - after all the music is soooo gooood.
Espectacular
素晴らしい！
After another review. I ever don't see such a good performance. OK, Maria Magdalena.... but Jesus, Judas..., Kaiphas, the Arrangement, stunning!
I wasn’t completely sold on this production-even with all the stellar acting and singing-but Superstar knocked it out of the park-Judas kicked ass
1:33:25 THIS is what most versions of Jesus Christ Superstar were lacking. A scene where Jesus raises from the dead
Technically that was an intentional exclusion but each production is a new text so it's interesting
JCS is technically a Passion Play, where there is no resurrection
Imo it’s better without the scene. The musical is supposed to leave it ambiguous whether or not Jesus is actually a magical figure. Hence his inability to save the lepers, or show King Herod anything fantastical, etc. It’s better if it’s also ambiguous whether Jesus rises from the dead.
That's kind of the whole point is that it's supposed to be ambiguous lol, I get why religious people might not like that, but It kind of ruins the intent of the play by doing that. Oh well.
