i'll say it. i could've directed john legend in jcs/a version of jcs that fit better with john legend. i could've done it and it would've been good
#i don't understand why they seemingly went for such like a stoic vibe with his jesus#like idk if it was a director choice or his choice but i think jcs jesus is like a very emotive character#like borderline prima donna#but like he can also very much be a moper or a brooder which i think would fit a lot better with john#i think there was a lot of like forced stillness in that production as well#john has all these great very like flowy kind of regal mannerisms that would've worked great for jesus#i also think instead of trying to make him fit the mold of previous jcs jesuses which he was never gonna do#they should've leant into the texture of his voice and his riff and gentle falsettos etc#like just soften up the instrumental maybe even slow it down a bit let him get sensitive with it let him be at ease in it#i would maybe even do that across the board bc like with sara bareilles as magdalene it's not giving bombastic theatre vibes#i would have the instrumental go more rnb/rock maybe even like slightly soul for some of the bigger numbers#esp since that judas has a grit and a power to his voice that could be an interesting contrast w john's smoothness to lean into#like i think john could've played the sense of surrender in gethsemane really well if they'd have pushed that but like the emotional beats#a bit confusing to me in that version#the wine bottle he carries around during the number is a nice touch wheres the mopey ness????#like they should've let him play around with that song more. let him riff let him do some sad sensitive shit to that song#he has a gorgeous falsetto like i wouldn't have minded if they'd stuck with that the whole way through#anyway i could've done it. they should hire me to direct every jcs#move over alw your musical is mine now#karinyo.txt#jcs#jcs 2018#also has he acted in anything apart from jcs before??? bc that's a big factor too
