17 roles
(Rock Tenor, low D2 to high E5) A tortured soul, angry, bitter, and wildly emotional. He is tortured by his role in this drama, disappointed in Jesus. Judas is a cynical realist - speaks truth through grit; wants authenticity in a world of excess. Judas sings with a raw emotionally charged passion. This is a major singing role.
(Rock Tenor, low A2 to high E5, optional high G) His righteous anger and acceptance of all His people are his main traits. The Jesus of this piece is has calm charisma, but with emotional cracks beneath-a performer buckling under fame and expectation. He is strong willed, a rock and roll "wailer" and, of course, a Superstar.
(Tenor/Baritone A2 to G4) The head apostle and Jesus' right hand man. He is loyal and loving and in awe of Jesus, yet conflicted as he does deny Him and criticizes Jesus for His relationship with Mary.
(Folk/R&B Mezzo/Alto, low F3 to C5, optional high A) Mary is the leading lady of the piece. She is very attached to Jesus and very much in love with him. She is His protector, caretaker and soother, quite nurturing and very grateful for His attention. Gentle, grounded, sees the person behind the celebrity. She tries in her way to care for Jesus, so there is tenderness, and desire, but this is a woman of great strength.
(Tenor/Baritone, low B2 to high G4) The eccentric to whom Jesus is presented. Herod is unimpressed yet quite impressive in his own way. This is a comedic role.
(Tenor/Baritone, low Ab2 to B4) Pilate is given the case of Jesus and is eager to pass it on to someone else yet he is given the decision back. He is stern and puzzled at the same time. He plays his role but is reluctant to put Jesus to death himself.
(Low Bass / Rocky Top C2 to F#4) One of the main antagonists of the show. High priest who sees Jesus as a threat to the nation. He is in a man in power who fears losing that power to Jesus. This role requires an actor that can show Anger, Power, and Angst.
(High Baritone/Tenor G2 to Eb5) One of the main antagonists of the show. Fellow priest at the side of Caiaphas who is persuaded by Caiaphas into seeing Jesus as a threat. Annas can seem more conniving than Caiaphas.
(Tenor G3 to B4) One of Jesus' 12 apostles; urges Jesus to lead his followers into battle against the Romans.
