Disappointing
by Mars50 on 2010-01-05Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - EdmontonI was very excited to see this production at the Jubilee. Last time I attended it was at the Mayfield Dinner Theatre in Edmonton. The stage was smaller so I found the dancing constricted but at least there was dancing and aerials. I expected a much higher quality production at the Jubilee. Judas was excellent as well as Mary but, I'm sorry, Jesus ruined it for me. Yes, he hit the high notes but I believe it is time for a younger actor for the part. Now, maybe if I was in my usual balcony seat it would have been better for me, but front row seats enable you to see all expressions, and yes, ages of the actors. The constant mouthing to 'God' actually became irritating. Again, some of his vocal were impressive but I also feel that the stage could have been used more efficiently to get the emotional reaction I had when watching the movie. This was my most disappointing production I have seen thus far.
