I only want to say...

[notnowImreading]

Hear ye, hear ye! New thread for Jesus freaks here.

What is your first fave Never?

Never Wicked is very good, lots of in jokes about the Wizard of Oz but still great even if you haven't seen the film.

Cracking good tunes in it too, & the costumes are fab.

Marking my place in the final epic final thread

What do we all win for sticking it out til the bitter end?

Les Mis. Obvs.

Marking my place. I should win a bloody prize for watching this show and reading the thread an hour behind everyone else.

I have to watch itv+1 when dh goes to bed.

It's hard to watch and read at the same time without giving myself spoilers. oh my god I am so sad and should take up a meaningful hobby

I have a love-hate relationship with spoilers, lol. I don't want to want to know, but I do.

Rory is just so teeny. He's fine for Jesus, but not for fancying imo. Not for me.
I think it's between him and Mackem tho.

Hello new thread.
I am very, very confused nothing new there
I had got it into my head this finished Thursday, the dcs break up for the summer on Thursday. In my head, TODAY is Thursday. Except it isn't, and I'm all .

So, my tip is Rory. Because I find Pob a bit sinister, and Roger is a god, but he isn't the son of God - and the shiny trousers are a bit iffy. I think they have kept him this far, because Dawn has nothing of merit to say, and they think her letching is funny. It's just a bit boring now same rules do not apply to letching on this thread, however

Dh back on nights (no wonder i'm confused, his shifts have been all over the place)- so no interruptions!!

And I am NOT going to get sucked into the Hell that is This Morning today

Rory is too little, cute and smily for Jesus I reckon. Jesus was quite moody I reckon, disappearing off to the desert for a 40 day strop and flipping tables kind of moody.

I think Rory could do moody, though. If Michael Ball can pull off psychopath in 'Sweeney Todd' anything is possible! THe other two aren't superficially physically right for the part either. I just want to hear them all sing Gethsemane.

they used to show JCS every Easter. When we were kids we found it hilarious especially how the whole cast fitted into a minibus and drove out of the desert.

i love the music and went to see it in the West End in 1997.

Jebus can deffo be small. There's a line in JCS (yes i know every word - I am actually that sad) where Pilate sings/says

"He looks so small, not a king at all".

By this stage Jebus be a broken, depressed kinda bloke, but still. If big giant Roger was Jebus that might not work.

The small thing doesn't bother me as I'm only 5ft 2. Being short deffo had it's advantages growing up. Lots of hot slightly below average height blokes around. More choice than the tall girls, lol.

Yeah Rory is kinda smiley (I just wanna eat him up) but I'd say he can do moody... What man can't do moody?? Bet he'd be good at filthy too. He could do that an all (to me).

Tell me this is Ben(?) in it still? Hes from my town.

He is, coco, he is Mackem Jesus

Yeah, give it to Rory. Divvy up the rest amongst the others and it's all good.

See, that is what sets the musical shows apart from the X Factor shows, and why I like them- they are like auditions to a mass audience. A far larger number of ex-contestants from these have gone on to get other jobs in theatre, whilst in the X Factor even the winner isn't guaranteed success. I still love X Factor though

I am quite excited about this

Oh, good for him.

Yes, but Raah, on the XF you can be guaranteed to have three hours of pointless music played under your name on one of the Freeview music channels. Frankie CockOozer gives it large! (three hours of adverts, incompetent linking and try-hard rock)
Diana Vickers vs Pixie Lott! (three hours of no linking, mercifully, but much contrived fey ponciness)

Sadly there is no equivalent for musical theatre.

I am so excited it's pathetic! It's been like a shit-tv-but-good-talent drug in the last week or so. Will miss it when it is over.

Totally agree with raahh about how nice it is that the other contestants tend to do well.

Sue- true. What is Cockwomble up to at the moment anyway?

I'm still mourning JesusJesus. There's not enough beard action left for me

We've done well to get this far. lets hope it is not a huge anti-climax

I think it'll come down to Rory and Ben and ALW will choose Rory, or the audience will seem to choose Rory (ahem) cos basically ALW picked Rory a LONG week ago.

Which I think is fair for the voice but Ben seems to have more shades/sides/depth to him.

Roger is wonderful in many ways but not for this role, sorry Rog.

Oh god- Amanda appears to be dressed as a beetle.

Where did you cop a look at her Raah?

does AH not have a stylist/dresser/whatever they are?!

I don't think ALW has casting vote, does he?? He didn't with the other shows as far as i remember?!
