Sue from Liverpool,
WHAT AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE
I first saw a production of this musical back in the 70s at the Empire. I was not disappointed with this one. Amazing choreography, staging and vocals. Fabulous appearance by Julian Clary as Herod which lifted the mood at the right time. Very intense finale. Truly an experience. It’s brilliant to have shows of this quality so close to home.

AMAZING
What an amazing performance, dancers. amazing, singing spectacular, a modern take on the story but breathtaking! Jesus, Mary, and judas WOW! Herod....... ( Julian clary) not so good! He didnt do the part justice, could gave spoilt the show, but, well worth seeing. Stick to pantomime Julian!

VISUALLY AND VOCALLY STUNNING
What a privilege it was to see this show- The cast are truly amazing and the atmospheric staging added to the experience. Incredibly moving.

TOTALLY STUNNING PRODUCTION - HAVE BOOKED TO WATCH IT AGAIN
This was incredible - having grown up listening to the musical this totally blew this out of the water. Watched it with my parents in Nottingham and have since booked to watch it with my family in Southampton. Ian McIntosh as Jesus was the BEST EVER vocalist I've EVER heard in a show - I couldn't believe how incredible 'Gethsemane' was - so raw and powerful. Just WOW! Mary and Pontius Pilate were brilliant too. Dancers and musicians were great. All super talented! (Less keen on Judas - not because his voice wasn't incredible I just couldn't make out the words (thankfully I knew them all!) Ian Mackintosh - please don't miss the opening night in Southampton's Mayflower as I can't wait to hear you sing this all again!

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
Overall an excellent production. Very moving in second part. One point re Judas. Couldn’t hear him properly. Only snatched one or two words.
