I can only hear the chanting at the end of Jesus Christ Superstar act 1 as sarcastic. "Well done Judas. Good work Judas" Like yeah well freakin done, Judas, enjoy the interval, asshole.

“It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss

It was only a kiss!”

- Judas Iscariot

Jesus christ superstar is actually so fucking funny like Judas gets so fed up with Jesus he threatens to NOT betray him just to screw him over

[butterscotch-goat]

[thinkorpray]

i am alw’s #1 hater and also simultaneously his #1 listener

[lonelyoakenshield]

i wish i could experience jesus christ superstar for the first time again because the feeling when i realized judas was singing a reprise of I Don’t Know How To Love Him??? unmatched, it killed me dead

[purple-confusion]

Would you fall in love with me again? if you knew all I've done, the things I cannot change?

I just watched the filmed arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar with Tim Minchin and if you look closely at the disclaimer text of Harrod's Lord or Fraud poll it reads 'obviously it was predetermined that Jesus would be found guilty. Otherwise it would be a very short act 2.' I love little fourth wall breaks like that.

HELPPP WHAT IS THIS WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY LMAOO 😭😭😭

[emilydickinsonsghost]

Genuinely almost forgot that Easter is like a real actual religious holiday celebrated by millions of people and not just a niche tumblr fandom event to nerd out about the Jesus Christ Superstar musical, sort of like barricade day in the Les Mis fandom.

Anyways, happy gay Jesus musical anniversary to those who celebrate! ✌️ 🏳️‍🌈

[jeffersonhairpie]

jesus christ superstar is about leftist infighting and hating your best friend and loving people wrong and the myopia of fame and inevitability and understanding that you were the cog that might not have turned and how love will not save the world because it is not enough and how people are fickle and how leaders are cowards and how the buck has to stop somewhere and how love doesn't stop just because it's useless or bad and saying 'i told you so' and how good will can never trump The Plan and how together we are so very strong and how God is not going to save us and how the story is incomplete because we have to finish it ourselves
