Ted Neeley embraces role in 'Jesus Christ Superstar'

Ted Neeley has been playing Jesus Christ longer than Jesus was alive on Earth. Not the mild-mannered, gentle Jesus but the wailing, rebellious rocker in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's 'Jesus Christ ... via Des Moines Register

Am I alone? Or is it time for Ted to let it go?

Yes, you're alone. We saw him today in Chicago and he was outstanding! He got a standing ovation from the crowd. I hope I look that good when I'm 64.

[Garvin]

Yup, all alone. Ted's a huge draw for this show AND he sounds great.

[Angie]

As alone as Judas was when he hung himself in the desert. I saw him a week ago and couldn't have been more thrilled. I thought his performance was geat but more importantly, it is so obvious how much he loves what he's doing.

You people are so lucky to be able to see Ted Neeley perform JC Superstar in US. Since I was 5 years old I have loved the soundtrack and as I live in Ireland I had to wait till I was 11 to finally see the film .I was blown away and still am by the emotional performance of this super talented man.. But alas I don't think I will ever see him perform in Ireland!!! So count your blessings....
If your out there Ted please please come to Ireland..... Siobhan X

[scott new jcs in canada]

personally, ted is amazing in this part, if i can only embrace this part half as well as ted did, i will be thrilled. many so called born again folks , think this is an evil play, jesus and a prostitute. open your eyes so you may see, jesus is portrayed as man and only a man. he made mistakes, but he new how to show remorse and paid for us all, with his life. God Bless you Ted. Scott

[Not Alone]

You are not alone. We saw the performance in Peoria, IL. It was horrible. Ted hit the first high note. That should have been it. Corey couldn't sustain the high notes of his music. This would have been a good musical to leave alone 30 years ago. I appreciate Ted's performance, but I needed 39 lashes to get through it. Sorry, cast members. Love the orginal, but this was too much. Give me Godspell.

[It Plaued in Peoria]

Saw the play in Peoria, it was wonderful. I have always loved this play. Took my two daughter and they were very impressed. I am honored to have seen Mr Neeley in person. He and the rest of the cast did a fabulous job.
PS I love Godspell too!
