3.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Cast,But Missing Songs Ruins It All., July 21, 2001

Unlike others who have reviewed this,I'm very fond of Jerome Pradon's Judas-maybe it's because I viewed the video first-a great performance.The real unfortunate thing(and a reason why I almost DIDN'T purchase the disc)is that a number of key songs are missing.Surely Sony could've forked up the extra four tunes for this release?The missing "This Jesus Must Die" ,the pivotal show moment of "Damned For All Time/Blood Money",and the wrenching "Peter's Denial" are TOTALLY inexcusable.I'd have rather missed out on "Could We Start Again Please". I certainly hope a COMPLETE version of this cast on cd will be made available.Definitely buy the extraordinary video performance,then maybe this as a nice side piece,but until a complete version comes out,devotees should pass on this disc.

4.0 out of 5 stars JCS 2000/2001, April 8, 2001

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Jesus Christ Superstar (The New Stage Production Soundtrack) (Audio CD)

I have been waiting for quite awhile to get my hands on the new CD, DVD and VHS of this great show since seeing it retooled for the new millennium. As soon as they became available I grabbed all 3 of them. I was shocked and disappointed to find that several of my favorite songs from the film/stage performance were missing from the CD. Songs such as "This Jesus Must Die", "Damned For All Time", "Blood Money", "The Arrest", "Peter's Denial", and even the confrontation between "Pilate & Christ"... They should have made this a 2 disc CD set and included ALL the great music from this classic production! Other than the missing songs from this CD, I am greatly satisfied... I look forward to a possible "Part 2" CD with the remaining songs... Thanks! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!, March 27, 2001

The best next to the 1996 London Cast with Zubin Varla and Steve Balsamo. Although this soundtrack doesn't have all of the songs (most noticable are "This Jesus Must Die" and "Damned For All Time"), this is still worthy of the price. Glenn Carter's Jesus is pure excellence while Jerome Pardon's Judas is very whiny but convincing and priceless. Frederick Owens as Caiaphas is excellent although all of his major songs are not on this CD. :( Renee Castle is the best Mary Magdalene ever portrayed. Tony Vincent steals the shows though as Simon Zealotes, he is just too good. Buy or don't buy the soundtrack but make sure to get the new movie.
