EVEN THEN I COULD SEE HOW GUILLAUME HATED ME!!!

I finished one of the fanarts, its not the best bc im not used to digital art so I can't colour or anything for shit, plus I'm also working on another piece so this was a little rushed at times. Anyway, the gold lighting is meant to represent how Bertrande is his newfound happiness, the 'light of his life' and it also works bc she also briefly wore a yellow dress in the musical.

I'm sorry I'm only now answering this(I've been dead) but its JESUS!! He's my favourite to draw because of his luscious blonde curls.

Most of these drawings are old as shit by the way, I can't believe I'm only now posting them(I hate my drawings),there was more than this but I lost most of my drawing because I'd draw on loose pieces of paper, thinking I didn't really need a sketchbook soooo yeah that's all gone...

Oooo who're you married to 😏???

- Everyone's singing was on fucking point and loud, Billy Nevers was performing that night as Judas' understudy. At first I wasn't so sure about Sam Ryder being Jesus but he seems suit the role really well and again he sings so well, especially gethsemane (I think I fell in love with him bro, I was kind of eye fucking him yknow/j)

- For the sake of Desmonda Cathabel(Mary) I hope they drop a cast recording 🧡

- During 'Everything's Alright' there's not much physical interaction between Jesus and Mary from what I remember. He ends up resting his head on the thigh of a male prostitute while mary and the other girls stand singing infront of microphone stands.

- That being said, they stand and sing infront of microphone stands a lot throughout the show, I still don't know if I liked this decision or not because it means the character's don't fully engage with each other, like the priests for instance during, 'this Jesus must die' and other sequences.

- Towards the end of hosanna Jesus hugs Judas who looks like he doesn't wanna be there(which is usual for him) until the ensemble sing 'will you die for me,' and Judas instantly pulls away from him and backs, Jesus even tries to go after him. I liked this choice because they did it in a way which conveys Judas already know he may be the one to send Jesus to his death or he's afraid of Jesus dying in general.

- The Simon zealotes performance was lit and had the roman soldiers in the background just standing there menacingly...I got scared because I didn't notice them at first nor did i expect them to look like that, but it's a really interesting interpretation of them.

They looked like that

In Everything's alright reprised/ I don't know how to love him, Jesus goes off to the side of the stage to sleep while Mary sings instead of sleeping on the floor infront of her which shocked me again since their supposed to be intimate which makes Mary yearn painfully and feel conflict.

- Also there was no scene where Judas interrupts them them and act weird to Mary, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT SCENE BECAUSE I LOVE SEEING ALL THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF INTERPRETATIONS!!!!

- Judas' suicide is just him pulling the the wore out the microphone then standing still, before that, the wire slowly gets pulled by the mob leader, I think its to show him running out off time like Jesus or that he can't escape his fate.

- King Herod adds a lot of his own words during his song, one literally being the word 'slay' and everyone found that funny (Get off the fucking stage/j).

-Could we start again please was sung by both Mary and Peter to start off with but then the ensemble sings the entire thing with them instead of repeating it afterwards. I didn't really like that or expect it, it's mainly meant to be just Peter and Mary because they were the closest to him and saw him more as a human rather than a saviour.

- The ensemble all whip Jesus with glitter, they all just collectively throw glitter at him for the 39 lashes. He looking like a disco ball, the lighting reflected of his body. I don't know what the obsessed with glitter was, they used it a lot for the anointment oils and during the temple sequence. It was glamourising tho. Peter and Mary were there to witness it.

-Then they beat him up and toss him about during 'Superstar'.

Overall, I really enjoyed it and I'm grateful I could go(it was for an early 18th birthday gift, the big 18), all the cast outdid themselves, the ensemble and choreography was amazing, it was just a few staging choices I didn't really agree with and the characters not fully engaging with each other, but I understand productions do their own spin on things or else there'd be no new and interesting ideas.

Okay, cut it with the angst.
