You know what I really love? I love that DVD version of Superstar. The one where Jesus looks a little like a better looking Craig McLoughlin and Judas swans around in leather. Have you seen it? I don't know if it's on purpose or not, but it basically comes across as if to say that 2000 years of religion was based on a lovers quarrel. The kiss at Gethsemene...disturbingly hot.
I feel I should be ashamed that this is my entire contribution to your post...but I'm not. *grin*
Was it red leather? And Judas was black and Mary Magdalene Asian? I think that's the movie version. Yeah, kinda loathed it --- horrible unpretty Seventies aesthetic --- but omg I totally got the slashiness, YES!
*lol* Tis verrah valuable contribution, as is anything slashy and possibly blasphemous! ♥
A recent, somewhat modernised one, in which Simon Zealotes runs about with machine guns. Which sounds awful, but actually works in the context of the production. I am lending. *firm*

Hey, did you know Geoffrey Rush will be joining our Tom Stoppard talk? Way cool, huh? :p
Ahhh, I see that as I type this you're watching lovely Mullins in Vienna Woods. Sigh, Mullins.
