If I had three wishes...
A few days ago, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bzzinglikeneon posted two pictures of David Tennant and John Simm, and ever since I've seen them, I can't get this thought out of my head that I want to see the two of them in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
So David would be Jesus, and John would be Judas. The musical would start with John all on his own, brooding, singing about how he's starting to have doubts about this missionDavid Jesus is so obsessed with, and that he's worried they might be heading for a disaster.
Later on, we would see Judas before the high council of Jerusalem, desperate and torn, not knowing what is right and wrong anymore, accepting the pieces of silver in the end because it's the only thing he feels he can do to make things turn out for the best.
Then we would witness the confrontation during the last supper, Judas breaking down and losing his temper. Things would escalate in the garden of Gethsemane and later on in the palace of Pilatus, and then we'd get John being Judas, desperate and broken because he has betrayed the man he loved and admired for the last decade, finally committing suicide and ending up as the man who will stand as the symbol for all the sin and terror in the world for thousands of years to come.
I so want to see this production. Want want want. So badly.

Jesus, on the other hand, is this unreachable ideal of humility, purity and martyrdom, which I think David could pull off way better than John. He's got this certain, how should I call it - the same thing the Doctor has, too. This air of being a better person than anybody else without being an asshole about it.
Besides, this picture of John Simm just about screams JUDAS at me (and that's something positive, because ever since I first listened to JCS, I think Judas is by far the most interesting and fascinating character in the whole new testament).
Haha, don't get me going about this. If I had the means to do so, I would totally put together this production in a heartbeat and harass David and John into accepting the roles of Jesus and Judas. It's just perfect, if you ask me.
