Great to hear that you enjoyed the Swedish version.
Well the original is always the best, but I see the move up to the others of Jesus (Ola Salo) as very professional, while in the original he lays down, trying to get his message through.

Well in that dress you see Ola Salo, the guy that played Jesus in the Swedish version.

I tried watching some of the JCST clips, but the use of foreign language in a musical production was too difficult - I mean, it is the words more than the music in musicals that carry the interest. I do remember a lot from this musical, and of course, the music is quite remarkable, and often returns to my mind, but it hangs on the words so much, I find it too awkward to follow in Swedish.

As for the show itself, it was revolutionary in its day, yet too hard to deny. My favorite parts were the song "We need him crucified, it's all you have to do" and the scene where all the sick and crippled come out of the shadows clawing at Jesus.

I remember when JCS came out - it was controversial, and many were offended at the liberties taken by it. But it was so interesting viewing its take on Judas, a take which was also carried on in The Last Temptation of Christ. Judas was the real radical and revolutionary in both versions of the story. Got one to thinking.

Back in the day in which JCS came out, the Pope of the time finally pronounced his approval of it, stating that it was "the best advertisement" possible for Christianity. That soothed the objections of many, but those same factions never did come around to The Last Temptation of Christ. (When I saw the latter, I was one of about 3 people in the theater.)

In this Swedish version, looked like Judas was waxing thug-like.

Well, at least one track was in English.

The posts was more a chance to get you to know that this tour has been going on here.
Not so much the Music and singing itself but as I have said, I like the role of Pilate.

I did not know that. Thanks you for your comment on that history.

Well, we have a TV program where famous artists get together. And the artist has their day when the other artists makes a cover version of the original track.

Here then we can watch my favorite singer, Amanda Jenssen doing an outsatnding version of" Digging Gold in the USA". A track released for the Swedish Soccer team in 1994 (where we got a medal) but also a song relevant for the great emigration from Sweden to North America  during the 19th Century (Cross the Atlantic).

Amanda has thought much of the latter.

Do You Understand this?

Not sure about the question, but I did enjoy hearing this again. She was an unusual performer. I wonder if she had a cabaret background.
