On June 12th 2004, a packed Longfield Suite in Prestwich saw Romiley's JCS win the coveted 'Best Musical' award for 2004. Congratulations also to Simon Hardisty, who won 'Best Supporting Actor' in his first nomination at the awards. Both Simon and Denise, who collected the 'Best Muscial' award, were unusually stuck for words! Well done to everyone involved - especially Simon, as he essentially won 2 last night! Also nominated this year were Rod Goddard for 'Best Director' (an award he won last year for 'Chess'), Claire Sweeney for 'Best MD' (joint nomination along with Stockport's 'Guys and Dolls'), Rob Haslam for 'Best Actor' and Catherine Baddeley for 'Best Actress'.
Jesus Christ Superstar closed on 20th March 2004 after a fantastic run, performing to over 4700 people over 6 performances. Comments such as 'better than professional' and 'awesome' were heard throughout the week - watch this space for a photo gallery and the official NODA review.
Jesus Christ Superstar, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, first exploded onto the stage in 1971 and it was clear that the musical world would never be the same again. Acclaimed as a masterpiece, it has since attained the status of theatrical legend. It is packed with hit songs including I Don’t Know How To Love Him, Gethsemane, Heaven On Their Minds and, of course, Superstar. Fierce rock rhythms, chunky power chords and heart searing ballads all combine in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s haunting and unforgettable score. From his entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday through to his death at the hands of Pontius Pilate, Jesus Christ Superstar is an epic retelling of the last seven days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth from the point ov view of his betrayer, Judas Iscariot. Telling the story of men and women driven to their fate by forces beyond their control, this unique musical is as powerful and compelling today as the day it was written.
