Monsieur D'Arque

Superstar Studio Cast

On an all-star studio cast of Superstar, who would you like to hear sing each part?

Pilate: Danny Elfman
Judas: Jack Black (the guy has major chops)
Simon: Wayne Brady
Herod: (Because every studio cast has one "special guest appearance by a non-musical personality) Will Ferell
Peter: Jesse L. Martin

Jesus??????
Monsieur D'Arque

I don't know... you wanna think of somebody?

Actually, Jack Black just played Herod out in California, and while he does have the chops for Judas, I think he'd be a better Herod.

Now that's something I'd love to see. I think my favorite Herod is still Alice Cooper.

Jesus..... Adam Pascal

Judas...Jesse Martin

Pilate...Jeremy Irons

Mary..... Ruthie Henshall

Adam Pascal as Jesus... never i hope.

Here's studio I would use:

Jesus - BILLY PORTER
Judas - RAUL ESPARZA
Mary - I don't care... let's say HEATHER HEADLEY
Pilate - PHILIP QUAST
Herod - I don't care... maybe OZZY OSBOURNE
Caiaphas - FRANKIE STEVENS
Annas - DANNY ZOLLI
Simon - for some reason ANWAR ROBINSON from some american idol -season comes to my mind

And ofcourse you would have to have the three tenors as the soul girls.

Now THAT'S great. Wink

Although I'd replace Anwar Robinson with that guy from the 2001 Mexican Cast, or with Russel Stevens from the Aussie 92.

We need a better Herod for that cast and it'd be perfect. Someone like....Adam Sandler. Also, I love Danny, but I think Axl Rose would make a killer Annas. I'm leaving Danny down because he actually knows the part, but Axl would be a decent choice, maybe even a good Jesus.

Jesus - BILLY PORTER
Judas - RAUL ESPARZA
Mary - HEATHER HEADLEY
Pilate - PHILIP QUAST
Herod - ADAM SANDLER
Caiaphas - FRANKIE STEVENS
Annas - DANNY ZOLLI
Simon - RUSSELL STEVENS

I'm fine with it...

As long as you keep the three tenors in.
Lazarus (Adam G)

Even though I've never really liked Porter...

Vocally, he rocks.

But he doesn't move me... He's just a singer who kicks ass.

JESUS: Geddy Lee
JUDAS: Burton Cummings
MARY: Sas Jordan
PILATE: Stephen Page
ANNAS: Michael Bouble
CAIAPHAS: Brad Roberts
HEROD: Tom Green
PETER: Ryan Malcolm

The Canadian All-Star Cast. These would be my pics.

Judas Christ

All I know is that I would have ---- killed to have heard Freddie Mercury take on the role of Judas. That would be awesome! His vocal range was perfect for the part. A bit strange that he was never asked to do guest vocals for any of Webber's musicals..too obvious choice maybe? I know he performed the title track to Dave Clark's musical "Time" though..
