Jesus Christ Superstar Rehearsals

Welcome to a special page, reserved for pictures and videos from the rehearsal of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Bonding!

The men went out on a couple of nights out to help with "bonding" (particularly amongst the apostles - it makes having to hug and kiss a lot easier). There is at least one restaurant in Beeston which we can no longer return to (thanks Pete)!

Not to be out-done, the ladies had their own nights out, although we've yet to see any photos from those!

Out-takes

A video on YouTube is available, showing a compilation of out-takes taken, mainly, during rehearsals but also some taken backstage during the show.

Photos

These photos were taken during the Wednesday night rehearsals, within the hall of Round Hill primary school.

Like the photos, these videos are taken during our Wednesday night rehearsals at Round Hill Primary School. Each are numbered and below is a brief explanation of what is happening in each.

3. Act 2/Scene 7 - Behind the Scenes, Jesus (Paul Mills) works on his choreography then, on stage, Mary (Alison Lawrence) sings "Can We Start Again Please" whilst Jesus is seen, in slow motion, being beaten by the guards.
