Superstar - Jon English

This is from the production of Jesus Christ Superstar which toured Australia and New Zealand in 1975-6. Unfortunately, half of the second verse has been edited out. That is how it was broadcast.

Jon English as Judas is the BEST stage performance I’ve ever seen. I could watch this clip over and over. Where can we see a recording of the whole show I wonder.

Wow I saw this production in Sydney in 1973. I was just a kid but it's stayed with me my entire life. I still have the albums...both the English and Australian versions. Loved it. Does anyone know if there is more footage of this production?

Jon was Judas in the australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar

I love this song. English History has the best version.
Is it strange that an Atheist loves this song? Actually it's Jon that I come for. Miss him!

[@lyndaryder9497]

The best Judas EVER.

[@70snostalgia]

Amen.

I've always remembered that move where he lands on his knees at the front of the stage - pretty amazing to a 14-year-old!

EPIC LOVE. 😂 a million thanks

I always thought the lyrics was, 'Jesus Christ superstar, who in the world do you think you are?' ever since it came out up until now. Would be good to see this whole show somewhere. Judas here doing his somersaults behind Christ's back, then slams himself down on his knees. Pretty good stage show.
