8 roles
Range F3-D#5/Eb5. She is Jesus’ most intimate confidante, a reformed prostitute whose unwavering devotion evolves into unspoken romantic love, offering emotional sanctuary amid chaos and representing themes of redemption and unconditional acceptance.
Range G2-G4. He is Jesus’ impulsive right-hand apostle, a baritone Everyman whose bravado crumbles into cowardice, symbolizing the frailty of human commitment and the pain of denial.
Range G3-B4. He is a fiery tenor apostle and revolutionary zealot who idealizes Jesus as a political liberator, urging violent uprising against Rome in a high-energy number that showcases the movement’s militant fringe.
Range C2 (low C)-F4. He is the high priest of Sanhedrin, a commanding bass-baritone who prioritizes institutional stability over spiritual truth, viewing Jesus as a blasphemous threat that could provoke Roman annihilation of Jewish autonomy.
Range C3-G4. He is a frivolous and witty ruler unimpressed with Jesus. He taunts and teases Jesus, demanding that he perform trivial miracles to prove his identity.
Range A2-B4. He is the conflicted Roman prefect of Judea, a baritone figure of reluctant authority who embodies imperial detachment and moral cowardice, haunted by prophetic dreams that foreshadow his infamous role in Jesus’ fate.
Range G2-D5. He is a major advisor to the head priest and is disturbed by Jesus’ growing popularity. He is dedicated to the priesthood and sees the wellbeing of his people as his responsibility
All vocal ranges. They play the nine ensemble-apostle roles (Judas, Peter & Simon are featured soloists), Jesus’ followers, high priests, the public condemning Jesus, and other incidental characters (lepers/beggars, characters in the temple, etc).
