Tim Minchin in Upright

Tim Minchin in Jesus Christ Superstar

wa-a-ait…

"Superstar" from Jesus Christ Superstar.

For those of you who are not familial with the musical, here's a little context: at the end of JCS, Jesus dies (SURPRISE 😱) and, as he's being crucified, he hallucinates Judas singing the you-should've-listened-to-me song and NO ONE. EVER. MENTIONS. THE. FACT. THAT

This

Is how

he sees him! THIS is how Jesus sees THE MOST PATHETIC BITCH ON EARTH!

DOES HE ACTUALLY SEE THE MAN HE MANIPULATED INTO BETRAYING HIM BECAUSE HE WANTED TO DIE SO BAD LIKE A ✨️CHARISMATIC BADASS DESCENDING FROM THE SKY SURROUNDED BY ANGELS💫????? (and I'm not even gonna mention the swedish production in which he imagines Judas half naked bc it would be too easy 😑).

GOOD OMENS + JCS IS TOP TIER CONTENT

Also I love the parallels

Aziraphale as Crowley sees him as a snarky sarcastic adorable badass

Crowley as Aziraphale sees him as a strong confident stoic badass

Jesus sees Judas as a charismatic angelic superstar

Jesus thinks that Judas was right, that Judas was right from the beginning. And he thinks that Judas is happy or smug about it; he thinks that Judas is not only alive, but actually happy with his suffering.

And I'll say it.

He played Judas in the JCS 2012-13 Arena Tour. He's the one who resembles a pathetic wet cat🐾

CW: suicide, hanging, flashing
