Jesus Christ Superstar Reviews

Heather from Liverpool,

IF ONKY WE COULD HAVE HEARD THE LYRICS !

I went to see JCS in Manchester in September and loved it so much , went to see again in Liverpool. Disappointed on 2 issues- firdtly, you couldnt hear half of the lyrics in the group songs. They were drowned out by the volume. Also the clarity of Pilate"s and Judas's lyrics was lost which affected the whole continuity of the narrative. Secondly, Judas was very lacklustre , with no passion, and no performance of the chsracter"s torture. He hardly moved on the stage ( in contrast the singer who played Judas at Manchester was fantastic, I loved his energy and he displayed real emotion. Still, overall my favourite musical, and Ian McIntosh as Jesus is stunning with Gethsemane being a showstopper .Re really is a superstar!

AWESOME

Amazing production, Jesus, Mary unbelievable. Sadly almost impossible to hear Judas's lyrics as drowned out, no fault of his own making! Simple but very effective set. Great to see cast playng percussion and guitars.

SPEAKING OF JADED MANDARINS

A great show, packed with stellar performances but sadly let down by a jarring performance by Julian Clary quite probably the quintessential jaded mandarin performing as Herod, and providing a completely self promoting panto piece, right in the middle of a very poignant part of the show. The sets were brilliantly conceived and the singing was pure, clear and a joy to listen to. Be warned the seats in the great circle are skinny and bum numbing. Not recommended for a longer performance. But we were transported away by the production such that it was only a mild annoyance for 1hour and 55 minutes. We were grateful for the intermission though. Remove Clary and improve the seating and it's a easy 5 star event.

TOO STATIC

I'm afraid it made me pine for the 1998 London revival. There was little dynamism in this, with hand-held mikes more of an incumbrance than anything else. However, the singing was electrifying.

E.Culley from Liverpool,

QUITE DISAPPOINTING.

Sadly I left at the interval as the dancing was a bit like watching a workout at a gym. Very gray outfits. Too many dancers on the stage. Not a patch 9n The Original I watched in the West End.

GLAD I'VE BEEN TO SEE IT BUT

I wouldn't go to watch it again. The performers were good but I found it dark and I didn't engage with it very well, I was expecting more and Im sorry but although Julian Clarys BRIEF appearance lightened the mood slightly I was very disappointed at how brief his appearance was. I wouldn't take my children to see it & as I usually go to the theatre with my adult daughter who was away on holiday today and couldn't attend I wouldnt recommend it to her OR take my mother? I attended the matinee performance and overall I was pleased with the theatre and my seat in the circle.The staff were pleasant and friendly so Thank You to them. My opinion of the show: Disappointing

Dorothy from Bristol,

EXCELLENT CHOREOGRAPHY AND SET.

I found the singing wasn’t as clear as other performances I have seen. No real stand out singers apart from Mary whose voice was clear and powerful and quite stunning. Judas’s suicide dealt with sensitivity but the crucifixion was quite brutal.
