THEATRE REVIEW
Jesus Christ Superstar
Wed 24th - Sat 27th November
at the Oxford Playhouse
The story of the final days of Jesus
Christ is one of the best known in the
world, so Oxford’s Operatic Society
should be applauded for successfully
breathing new life into a time-worn tale.
Producing a memorable performance
of a veteran musical is always a difficult
task, not least for an amateur company,
but in their innovative staging of Jesus
Christ Superstar, the OS
has enthusiastically
risen to the challenge.
In the hands of
the Operatic Society,
the WebberRise musical
has been
revised in a
refreshingly
modern context.
There wasn’t a
tie-dye garment
or scandal in sight,
and Jesus even had
short hair.
The youthful cast
were well suited to the contemporary
rendering – clad in an array of checked
shirts, leggings and converse hi-tops,
Jesus’ apostles wouldn’t have been out
of place in a student bar. The soldiers
were a formidable presence, seemingly
having stepped out of the Matrix in
a uniform of black trench coats and
military boots. Microphone-wielding
paparazzi and a temple trader flogging
what appeared to be CDs added to
the subtle and charming intrusion of
modernity.
The stage was exceptionally crowded,
although thanks to the slick and well
managed choreography, this only added
to the dynamism of the performance.
Chilina Madon depicted Mary Magdalene
with stirring sensitivity, and the purity of
her voice allowed for a beautiful rendition
of the haunting I Don’t Know How to Love
Him. Duncan Blagrove was the real
superstar of the night. His acting proved
as strong as his singing and he succeeded
in the difficult task of evoking Judas
Iscariot’s complex emotional turmoil.
Impressive performances by Blagrove
and Madon cast the characters of
Herod (Alex Williams) and Pontius Pilate
(Edward Blagrove) somewhat into the
shadow. The production of King Herod’s
song was, however, a highlight. The
innovative and raunchy staging – which
included suspender-clad girls (and boys)
- brought welcome relief from otherwise
sombre final scenes.
David Staines captured Jesus’ compassion
well, and his performance peaked
in the dramatic and sensitively rendered
crucifixion scene. The leading man’s vocals
were wonderfully rich, but during his solos
the balance between band and singer
needed be addressed. Staines’s voice
lacked the clarity of Balgrove’s (Judas)
or Madon’s (Mary) and unfortunately his
words were drowned out during the more
strident musical numbers.
However, in the spirit of the show,
forgiveness is plentiful, and the occasional
muted vocal did little to detract from
an otherwise superb show. Jesus Christ
Superstar remains as popular as ever
and this enchanting production by the
Oxford Operatic Society will help ensure
it remains a classic of musical theatre.
