A Black Judas Again?

[GreyBeeplus3]

Have just seen on TV that there's a new stage or coming soon version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" with someone called Sam Ryder playing the main role
And of course Judas Iscariot is played by a black man I'm sorry I never caught his name so profusely apologise
Once again dark equals negative doesn't it?
Would once like to see a blue-eyed pratically blonde person in that role
I'm not sure but in the 70s film wasn't Judas black then too?
Subliminal Thinking Anyone?
Talk about reinforcing a stereotype.......

This isn't a new version it has been at the Palladium since June. The black Judas was by far the best performer and arguably in the main role in the production so that is the positive I choose to take.

So you missed the white red haired Tim Minchin in the role. Tbph with you Judas is a very vocally demanding role and maybe black men just naturally happen to have the range, talent and ability to perform it. My favourite Judas was Carl Anderson from the 1973 film, and yes, he is black but he is an amazing singer.

Respecting your opinion on this matter

@ToadRage
Fair enough, but I only ever get to hear news about the black actors/singers who take the role myself
