Even with the surging pop sound from an accomplished quintet of two keyboards, bass, guitar and drums – amplified to 11 – there's no place to hide in this work. Jesus , a willowy Christ figure in topknot and earring, dragging around his guitar like a modern cross, wails “The Temple” higher and higher, even higher, yet always screeches elegantly, never losing the melodic line.
Evil high priest Caiaphas possesses a chasm-deep bass that Ezio Pinza would swoon over; Annas, a Pharisee has a high tenor rock voice; Pilate growls menacingly, strutting in baritone; and apostle Peter possesses the best voice, pure Broadway heft with a honeyed lilt. When he joins voices with Jones on “Could We Start,” Webber calms himself down and delivers a dreamy ballad.
On a shallow stage space, what movement this production contains. It doesn't stop for the first half-hour. The ensemble zoombas right, then left, then circles, then expands, then compacts, intricately designed and danced to perfection. The choreography breathes, pants, wheezes, huffs and puffs in wild perpetual motion. Exercise as pictorial high dance.
