Simon, along with a lot of people at the time, believed that Christ came to be an Earthly King, hence this song. They wanted to fight against Rome because they though Christ would lead them in the fight. But he wasn't there for that. That is why he stops smiling when Simon starts singing about fighting Rome.

It showed that they still had no real grasp on who he was. He was not there to overthrow a manmade government....yet. Upon his resurrection he would take a seat next to his Father and wait to follow the proper order of things to happen. Heaven to be cleansed of Satan and the demons, which he already carried out years ago. Now he waits for his Fathers signal to cleanse the earth and mankind. His Father has to stick to his own word.
Jesus is King of his Fathers government. People actually pray for it to come on the Lords prayer but have no idea what they pray for.

That's something I used to think also. But after looking at it again, I'm not to sure Jesus was actually on the Roman's radar. Judas had to reveal Christ to the Romans (the world) in order to execute his arrest. Further, Pilot only knew Jesus from a dream he had, not necessarily from anything he might have heard from his military. Plus anyway, the Jews had no issue with rebelling, it was that Jesus had become the a rival to the priesthood, so he had to die.

Norman Jewison, the director, told Larry Marshall, who plays Simon, to just go all out during this. So that is what he did. And what an absolute performance he gives.

With all the shots that they got during the filming of this, I can't imagine how long it took to film this, especially since it was 105 degrees during filming. Apparently, according to Norman Jewison, not one cast member complained about the heat.

Later in life I’ve come to appreciate the dance numbers. Kate Capshaw / Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Knowing that the goal was to out-do the first movie, when I saw the elaborate setup… and her singing “Anything Goes” with that gleam in her eye, I just knew it would be awesome. And it was… and then some.

JCS though, what memories it brings. It’s not “canon” but what is? I believe Judas was part of the plan all along. He thought he was protecting them from the Romans by handing Jesus over. However motivated, it was what was fated to happen.

And thank you Larry Marshall, for putting a forever face on the word “zealot”. I can’t hear the word without picturing those screaming teeth.

Haha...no lie a few if my friends and I who went through Catholic school together used to hang out of one of our houses in the summer everyday and we shot pool and played the CD from the original Broadway we were shown the movie school so .any different times...as adults, we all went to see the touring show in the 90s and 2000s...at least 3 times in Philadelphia....first time it was the reunion production that had Ted Neely and Carl Anderson and I was seriously blown away. Both of them could sing anything but Anderson really impressed me. At this time they were I'm there 40s.....I then saw the production that Carl put on with Sebastian Back as Christ and Anderson reprised his role again as Judas... I really like d Skid Row and the show was fun but it really wasn't the vehicle for Sebastian at the time. Anderson was amazing as usual. Now in my early 50s I go through cycles when I listen for weeks at a time.....any one of the guys I grew up with could play any part...I mean or singing would be on par haha but we got the words down.....what a cultural phenomenon and such a huge memory of my growing up.

I don't think it's mocking anyone. It really goes out of its way to make everyone in the story relatable and not black-and-white. Judas is the obvious example, but even King Herod can be characterized as a skeptic who is genuinely interested in whether Jesus can really do miracles or not. Simon Zealotes is totally justified in wanting to end the Roman occupation, and he only thinks that it's on Jesus' to-do list because of how insufferably vague Jesus is being about everything.

⁠@@billvolk4236 also because at the time they believed the Messiah would be like a warlord type figure. Jesus’ 99% pacifistic ways (rip fig tree or whatever fruit it was) were not at all what they were anticipating, expecting, or wanting.

When we first saw the movie trailer on TV with Simon/Larry up close we said oh yeah he’s insane we gotta see this. Also… as manic is this is, they slowed down the music in order to be able to choreograph it - the original concept album is faster but just can’t do it justice the same way.

TO CLEAR UP THE POINT OF THIS SONG: it is poking fun at people who worship jesus looking for what jesus can do for them, when they should be thinking about what the should do for jesus. It is NOT however, making fun of jesus or christians.

It's actually fundamentally breaking down multiple different common "gospel," messages. "Christ you know I love you, did you see our way, I believe in you and God so tell me that I'm saved," is about the fundamental flaw of those who seek their own individual salvation through Christ, when it isn't about individuality at all. We are nothing more than mustard seeds, dropped by the road side. (Mark 4) He who does not hate himself can not be a follower of Christ. (Luke 35) These are both about the necessary dissolution of the ego in order to attain the path. Therefore you get nothing from following Christ, and that is the point. It isn't about YOU.

Going further however, they then make it about Jesus, and that is ALSO a mistake. "You get the power, you get the glory." The whole point of the gospel is that NO ONE gets the power or the glory. We are to see no similitude. We have to recognize that since we are all mustard seeds, it is in fact about no one. It is about US. It is about us being equal parts of a greater whole. We must see no similitude between material and God, as we did on the day the tablets were delivered on Mt. Sania. We must therefore realize that since we are created in this image we possess no similitude to these earthly vessels ourselves. It's about all of us, and OUR salvation so that WE can escape.

If you say you are Christian and be mean others, that is not being a Christian. Be kind is being Christian and Being nice and kind and humble that is being a Christian.

I like the direction they took the 2000 version but god damn if I just love the energy in this version. which version is better is really a question of which you give more credit? the directors vision or the actors energy. I like the interpretation of the 2000 version of this number but the energy of this version is something else entirely.

@LexTan

It’s amazing how the visions of both scenes and shows differ so much. Equally good yet different.

Both Simon actors have some crazy vocals in this song.

@karlmeaner2624

Both version of the production have ther strong points. I do have to say though, the 2000 version of "the last supper" number is in my opinion the best by far. Also the opening intro to the 70s version is really cool and is perfect for setting the tone of the entire production (of telling a story).

In the end this is what art is all about. :)

@robertthacher2660

I didn't know that there was another version, but I will stick to the youth, talent, and energy of 1971!

Thanks for uploading these clips! I love these songs, & particularly the dance moves in this specific number. I’ve had Jesus Christ Superstar fever lately, as seen in my recent videos on it, & these clips help greatly! Plus, this is full of faith, resonating very well with scripture! God’s miracles truly showed through this production!

Simon the Zealot is a revolutionary here - everyone mistakes Christ's purpose, nobody gets the metaphysical nature of his identity and purpose - they all fall away, finally, in the Could We Start Again scene - he went alone to his death - and within the Easter weekend holiday, today Saturday April 8, is the day Christ was dead - so feel a little bit sad for somebody today, and then throw it off tomorrow and be happy
