If I had three wishes...

A few days ago, 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 mission David 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.

It wouldn't need to be - I saw it at my local theatre semi-recently, and they couldn't have made Judas more obviously in love with Jesus (as a man, rather than the Son of God) and jealous of Mary Magdalene if they'd tried.

Also? Bit from the show with one word changed, because I think it every now and then:
Pilate: I dreamed I met a Galilean Gallifreyan, a most amazing man. He had that look you very rarely find, the haunting, hunted kind. I asked him to say just how it started, and how it all began, I asked him twice, he never said a word, as if he hadn't heard.

Ahaha, yes, every time I listened to that musical the last couple of days, I heard Gallifreyan when they sang Galilean. It just fits so damn well. Lol.

Well, because he is in love and jealous, isn't he. That scene in the beginning where he bad-mouths MM? The kiss? The part where he sings I don't know how to love him?

Gayer than gay. It's so awesome.
