She was a breathe of fresh air, and no doubt, has a very bright musical future. You are correct in your critique of Tiffini Dodson as Mary Magdalene.

At 64, his pipes are hotter than most of the young performers today. He simply owns the stage when he sings. Gethsemane is still my favorite number. I am a theatre teacher/director here in the Denver Metro area and will be rehearsing my high school cast of JCS soon. We open in April. Three leads came with me to see the show for their first time; in their words: "It was bad ass!" In an interview with John Moore, Ted said, "I will live forever." Yes, you will, on film, on CD, and in our hearts! Awesome show!

There was a long hard search to file the roll and Corey Glover won the prize.

I saw the matinee and was just as thrilled with this JCS production as any of the ones I have seen in the past 30 years, except for the changes in lyrics.
