Overture

The Overture is heard over images of a troupe preparing their version of the Passion Play.
They arrive out inm the Israeli desert in a bus with a cross attached to the roof along with many other props.
As the performers unload off of the bus you get a feeling of celebration so often attributed to the late 60s, early 70s.
They costume themselves. When the overture exchos the '39 lashes',
they remove the cross from the roof and when the overture breaks into a jubilant \"Superstar\",
we are introduced to Jesus appearing from a pile of people... Could we start?

Heaven On Their Minds Song

JUDAS
My mind is clearer now.
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away The myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say.

Listen Jesus I don't like what I see.
All I ask is that you listen to me.
And remember, I've been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire.
They think they've found the new Messiah.
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.

I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way.
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied.
Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood He'd have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm; no one alarm.

Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are?

I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they'll crush us if we go too far.
If they go too far....

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful, but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour.

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...

What's The Buzz Song

APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's a-happening. (Repeat 8 times)

JESUS
Why should you want to know?
Don't you mind about the future?
Don't you try to think ahead?
Save tomorrow for tomorrow;
Think about today instead.

APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)

JESUS
I could give you facts and figures.
Even give you plans and forecasts.
Even tell you where I'm going.

APOSTLES
When do we ride into Jerusalem? (Repeat many times)

JESUS
Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting
Times and fates you can't defy?
If you knew the path we're riding,
You'd understand it less than I.

APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)

MARY MAGDALENE
Let me try to cool down your face a bit. (Repeat 5 times)

JESUS
Mary that is good,
While you prattle through your supper,
Where and when and who and how.
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now.

APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)

Strange Thing Mystifying Song

JUDAS
It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you can waste his time on women of her kind.

SIMON
Hey, cool it man.

JUDAS
Yes, I can understand that she amuses,
But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair, that's hardly in your line.
It's not that I object to her profession,
But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say.
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent.
hey only need a small excuse to put us all away.

JESUS
Who are you to criticise her?
Who are you to despise her?
Leave her, leave her, let her be now.
Leave her, leave her, she's with me now.
If your slate is clean, then you can throw stones.
If your slate is not, then leave her alone.
I'm amazed that men like you can be so shallow, thick and slow
There is not a man among you who know or cares if I come or go.

ALL (save Judas and Jesus)
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?

JESUS
Not one, not one of you!

Everything's Alright Song

MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And we want you to sleep well tonight.
Let the world turn without you tonight.
If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight

APOSTLES' WIVES
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and anoint you.
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh.
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool, and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet.
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight.

APOSTLES' WIVES
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

JUDAS
Woman your fine ointment, brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for the poor.
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more.
People who are hungry, people who are starving
They matter more than your feet and hair!

MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know

APOSTLES' WIVES and MARY
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

JESUS
Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling.
Look at the good things you've got.
Think while you still have me!
Move while you still see me!
You'll be lost, and you'll be sorry when I'm gone.

MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you.
Myrrh for your hot forehead/
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet.
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
Think of nothing tonight.

APOSTLES' WIVES
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

MARY MAGDALENE
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax

Original Broadway production
Jesus Christ Superstar: the Musical
This Jesus Must Die Song

PRIEST ONE
Good Caiaphas, the council waits for you.
The Pharisees and priests are here for you.

CAIAPHAS
Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here.
We've not much time, and quite a problem here

MOB (outside)
Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!

ANNAS
Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the street!
A trick or two with lepers, and the whole town's on its feet.

ALL (inside)
He is dangerous!

MOB (outside)
Jesus Christ Superstar!

ALL (inside)
He is dangerous!

MOB (outside)
Tell us that you're who they say you are.

PRIEST TWO
The man is in town right now to whip up some support.

PRIEST THREE
A rabble rousing mission that I think we must abort.

ALL (inside)
He is dangerous!

MOB (outside)
Jesus Christ Superstar!

ALL (inside)
He is dangerous!

PRIEST TWO
Look Caiaphas, they're right outside our yard.

PRIEST THREE
Quick Caiaphas, go call the Roman guard.

CAIAPHAS
No, wait!
We need a more permanent solution to our problem.

ANNAS
What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth?
Miracle wonderman, hero of fools.

PRIEST THREE
No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans.

CAIAPHAS
One thing I'll say for him -- Jesus is cool.

ANNAS
We dare not leave him to his own devices.
His half-witted fans will get out of control.

PRIESTS
But how can we stop him?
His glamour increases
By leaps every moment; he's top of the poll.

CAIAPHAS
I see bad things arising.
The crowd crown him king; which the Romans would ban.
I see blood and destruction,
Our elimination because of one man.
Blood and destruction because of one man.
