So excited for this. I loved it at the Barbican and the socially distanced Open Air version. I fear I may book multiple Manchester visits.

I would assume Herod will be cast as a famous face in order to shift sales a bit.

I HATED this at the Barbican...
I was like The Voice BattleRound the Musical.
Everyone trying to outsing each other without a single thought for actually portraying characters or telling a story.
Mess...

Mess... I found it one of the most moving experiences I've ever had in a theatre. I had to sit outside the Barbican for twenty minutes afterwards to compose myself. But that's the beauty of theatre, it would be boring if we all enjoyed the same things |

But that's the beauty of theatre, it would be boring if we all enjoyed the same things Have to admit I didn't care for the Barbican version either. At one point I was really angry and for all the wrong reasons. I do agree about emotional involvement though. The first time I saw West Side Story on stage, I couldn't even applaud, while the rest of the audience were leaping to their feet and cheering. I was still in the moment, and awash with tears. |

I enjoyed if during its original regents Park run, but I didn't think it was any better than what had gone before it. Although i think the cast didn't help on that.

But that's the beauty of theatre, it would be boring if we all enjoyed the same things I had only seen a concert version of it before, so was very much looking forward to seeing an actual proper production especially after the endless raves on here. But everything was just so sterile and 'perfect' right down to the band not even pausing for applause and I don't think the staging or direction suited the piece either. I could go on about the pretentious, obnoxious choreography and dancers and their costumes all night, but I won't...needless to say they didn't work for me either. What was magnificent however was the voices of the performers, they were absolutely PHENOMENAL...every single one of them! But it felt like they were all so hellbent on oversinging everything to 'the max', that there was no room for emotional involvement with their characters. It just didn't work for me at all and I found the concert performance 10 times more moving even though that had no set or anything it was just in the round. It just left me totally cold! |

How does this version compare to other productions?
I've seen the 2012 arena tour and then the Kenwright tour in 2015 with Glenn Carter returning. Whilst I liked the arena tour for the spectacle and the cast involved, I actually think the Kenwright tour was more powerful and emotional and can remember being in tears by the end.

Give me the Kenwright tour anyday. |

Just had the ALW Easter promotion email which shows this 50 year old show is still a major draw.
It's states it's the Regent Park version currently touring USA into 2024 with the Above Uk tour off running soon. Easter has concerts versions in Vienna and Budapest and mentions that 2024 will bring a new production directed by Ivo van Hove in Amsterdam which is likely to give a very different look to the show.

Oh god, there’ll be video screening if Van Hive is involved. Suddenly I’m less enthusiastic for this. I loved the OAT production, thought it lost something when brought inside at the Barbican. Worried the tour version will be dire now |

Renew your faith the UK tour is the regent park/Barbican version.
The Ivo Van Hove one is for Amsterdam but presumably if it is a success could end up playing west end in late 24/2025.

Also got this e-mail! Extraordinary this show continues to be such a phenomenon all these years on. Very excited about the OAT version tour later this year; truly the best version of JCS I have ever seen (IMHO Drew McOnie is an absolute genius). Still gutted there was never a cast recording. Through having adored all the leads at the Barbican and all three Open Air iterations - no idea who I'd pick to be on it. Soundboards from all four, special fans edition 8 CD set haha?!? |

So chuffed for Ian, From being a swing in Rock of ages (which i loved him as franz) to now Jesus. The roles keep on coming in (hard work pays off) Seems like ROA Swings have done brilliantly ie Carly, Jamie, Ian, Scarlett, Cameron, Andy, Grant, Cordelia  |

So chuffed for Ian, loved him in The Commitments and he’s one of 5e few reasons I’m seeing WWRY. Seems bad wanting him to get crucified every night
