Opinion
We attended the show on Wednesday night and were immediately impressed by the professional set, which became electric once the performers started moving on stage, each of them living their characters. The intensity of the show never once waivered, flowing seamlessly from one scene and song to the next.
As someone who was captivated by the film in 1974, the magic had not dimmed one bit with the Gisborne stage performance. Tahi Paenga’s voice range has to be heard to be believed and some of those women in traditional male roles (High Priest and Annas in particular) were stunning.
Jesus Christ Superstar was a superstar performance.
