For the first time this Lent, I listened to a JCS I thoroughly disliked. There were some good performances in it, I will grant you--some fine work by Mary Magdalene and Judas--but I felt the guy who played Jesus spent more time conveying "Listen to me hit high notes" than he did conveying any emotional depth. "Is he even paying attention to what he's singing?" I thought more than once. I ended up putting on the Japanese JCS again as a palate-cleanser.
I'm not gonna even say what version of JCS this was. We're just gonna delete it from the record.
Tomorrow we visit Russia. Now that's something I eagerly anticipate...
