Meanwhile, hundreds of anti-capitalist protestors...

REPORTER 3: John, what's your view on the oil market's reaction?
l mean, earlier today, we were...
Hundreds of anti-war activists...
REPORTER 4: ...Spain and Greece and right across Europe...
...resorted to using gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets

MALE PROTESTOR: Hey, stop filming! The police can use it!
Stay back! Stay back!
REPORTER 5: But the tough economy is pushing people to the brink.
The question remains, are there...
# My mind is clearer now
# At last, all too well
# l can see
# Where we all soon will be
# lf you strip away
# The myth from the man
# You will see
# Where we all soon will be
# Jesus!
# You've started to believe the things they say of you
# You really do believe this talk of God is true
# And all the good you've done will soon get swept away
# You've begun to matter more
# Than the things you say
# Listen, Jesus l don't like what l see
# All l ask is that you listen to me
# And remember
# l've been your right-hand man all along
# You have set them all on fire
# They think they've found the new Messiah
# And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong
# l remember when this whole thing began
# No talk of God then We called you a man
# And believe me
# My admiration for you hasn't died
# But every word you say today
# Just gets twisted 'round some other way
# And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
# Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
# Like his father carving wood he'd have made good
# Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
# He'd have caused nobody harm No one alarm
# Listen, Jesus Do you care for your race?
# Can't you see we must keep in our place?
# We are occupied
# Have you forgotten how far down we are?
# l am frightened by the crowd
# For we are getting much too loud
# They will crush us if we go too far
# lf we go too far
# Listen, Jesus, to the warning l give
# Please remember that l want us to live
# But it's sad to see our chances
# Weakening with every hour
# All of your followers are blind
# They've too much heaven on their minds
# It was beautiful, but now it's sour
# Yes, it's all gone sour
# Listen, Jesus, to the warning l give
# Please remember that l want us to live
# Come on, come on
# He won't listen to me, oh
# So, it's all
# Gone
# Sour#
# What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening
# Why should you want to know?
# Don't you mind about the future
# Don't you try to think ahead
# Save tomorrow for tomorrow
# Think about today instead
# What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening
# l could give you facts and figures
# What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening
# l could give you plans and forecasts # When do we ride to Jerusalem?
# Even tell you where l'm goin' # When do we ride to Jerusalem?
# Why should you want to know?
# Why are you obsessed with fighting
# Times and fates you can't defy?
# lf you knew the path we're riding
# You'd understand it less than l
# What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening
# Let me try to cool down your face a bit Let me try to cool down your face a bit
# Let me try, let me try Try to cool down your face a bit
# Let me try to cool down your face a bit Let me try to cool down your face a bit
# Let me try, let me try Let me try to cool down your face a bit
# Mary, ooh, that is good
# While you prattle through your supper
# Where and when and who and how
# She alone has tried to give me
# What l need right here and now
# What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening
# What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening #
# lt seems to me a strange thing
# Mystifying
# That a man like you should waste his time
# On women of her kind
# Yes, I can understand that
# She amuses
# But to let her stroke you and kiss your hair
# lt's hardly in your line
# lt's not that l object to her profession
# But she doesn't fit in well with what we teach and say
# lt doesn't help us if you're inconsistent
# They only need a small excuse
# To put us all away
# Who are you to criticise her?
# Who are you to despise her?
# Leave her, leave her Let her be now
# Leave her, leave her She's with me now
# lf your slate is clean then you can throw stones
# lf your slate is not, then leave her alone!
# l'm amazed that men like you
# Can be so shallow, thick and slow
# There is not a man among you who knows or cares if l come or go
# No, you're wrong You're very wrong
# How can you say that?
# How can you say that? #
Not one of you!
# Try not to get worried
# Try not to turn onto
# Problems that upset you
# Don't you know everything's all right?
# Yes, everything's fine
# And we want you to sleep well tonight
# Let the world turn without you tonight
# lf we try, we'll get by so forget all about us tonight
# Everything's all right, yes
# Sleep and l shall soothe you
# Calm you and anoint you
# Myrrh for your hot forehead
# Then you'll feel everything's all right
# Yes, everything's fine
# And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
# For the fire in your head and feet
# Close your eyes, close your eyes
# And relax, think of nothing tonight
# Everything's all right, yes
# Woman, your fine ointment Brand-new and expensive
# Could have been saved for the poor
# Why has it been wasted?
# We could have raised maybe
# 300 silver pieces or more
# People who are hungry
# People who are starving
# Matter more than your
# Feet and hair
# Try not to get worried
# Try not to turn onto
# Problems that upset you
# Don't you know everything's all right?
# Yes, everything's fine
# And we want you to sleep well tonight
# Let the world turn without you tonight
# lf we try, we'll get by so forget all about us tonight
# Everything's all right, yes
# Surely you're not saying
# We have the resources
# To save the poor from their lot?
# There will be poor always pathetically struggling
# Look at the good things you've got!
# Think while you still have me
# Move while you still see me
# You'll be lost and you'll be so, so sorry
# When l'm gone
# Sleep and l shall soothe you
# Calm you and anoint you
# Myrrh for your hot forehead
# Then you'll feel everything's all right, yes
# Everything's fine
# And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
# For the fire in your head and feet
# Close your eyes Close your eyes and relax
# Think of nothing
# Tonight # Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
# Think of nothing
# Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax # Everything's all right, yes
# Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax # Everything's all right, yes #
ANNAS: # Good Caiaphas
# The Council waits for you
# The Pharisees
# And priests are here for you
# Ah, gentlemen
# You know why we are here
# We've not much time
# And quite a problem here
# Hosanna! Superstar!
# Listen to that howling mob
# Of blockheads in the street
# A trick or two with lepers
# And the whole town's on its feet
# He is dangerous!
# Jesus Christ, Superstar
# He is dangerous!
# Tell us that you're who they say you are
# That man is in town right now
# To whip up some support
# A rabble-rousing mission
# That l think we must abort
# He is dangerous!
# Jesus Christ
# Superstar
# He is dangerous!
# Look, Caiaphas They're right outside our yard
# Quick, Caiaphas Go call the Roman guard
No, wait!
# We need a more permanent solution to our problem
# What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth?
# Miracle wonderman, hero of fools
# No riots, no army
# No fighting, no slogans
# Infantile sermons, the multitude drools
# We dare not leave him to his own devices
# His half-witted fans will get out of control
# But how do we stop him? His glamour increases
# By leaps every minute # He's top of the pole
# l see bad things arising
# The crowd crown him king which the Romans would ban
# l see blood and destruction
# Our elimination because of one man
# Blood and destruction because of one man
# Because, because because of one man
# Our elimination because of one man
# Because, because, because of one
# 'Cause of one, 'cause of one man
# What then to do about this Jesus mania?
# How do we deal with the carpenter king?
# Where do we start with a man who is bigger
# Than John was when John did his baptism thing?
# Fools, you have no perception
# The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high
# We must crush him completely
# So like John before him this Jesus must die
# For the sake of the nation this Jesus must die
# Must die, must die this Jesus must die
# So like John before him this Jesus must die
# Must die, must die This Jesus must, Jesus must
# Jesus must
# Die #

# And next
# The room was full
# Of wild and angry men
# They seemed to hate this man
# They fell on him and then
# They disappeared again
# Then l saw
# Thousands of millions
# Crying for this man
# And then l heard them

# And leaving me the blame #
# Roll on up for my price is down Come on in for the best in town
# Take your pick of the finest wine Lay your bets on this bird of mine
# Roll on up for my price is down Come on in for the best in town

# Borrow cash on the finest terms
# Hurry now while stocks still last
# Roll on up, Jerusalem
# Here it isn't us and them
# While our temples still survive

# How to move him
# l've been changed
# Yes, really changed
# ln these past few days
# When l've seen myself
# l seem like someone else

# l don't see why he moves me
# He's a man
# He's just a man
# And l've had so many men before
# ln very many ways
# He's just one more
# Should l bring him down
# Should l scream and shout
# Should l speak of love
# Let my feelings out?
# l never thought l'd come to this
# What's it all about?
# Don't you think it's rather funny
# l should be in this position?
# l'm the one
# Who's always been
# So calm, so cool
# No lover's fool
# Running every show
# He scares me so
# l never thought
# l'd come to this
# What's it all about?
# Yet if he said he loved me
# l'd be lost
# l'd be frightened
# l couldn't cope
# Just couldn't cope

# See the saga through
# And do the things you ask of me
# Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me

# Should l die?
# Can you show me now
# That l would not be killed in vain?
# Show me just a little

# What more evidence do you need?
# Judas, thank you for the victim
# Stay a while and you'll see him bleed!

# l had to do it
# Don't you see?
# Or else they'd go for me
# lt's what he told us you would do
# l wonder how he knew #
# Who is
# This broken man
# Cluttering up
# My hallway?
# Who is this unfortunate
# Someone, Christ, King of the Jews
# Oh, so this is Jesus Christ
# l am really quite surprised
# You look so small
# Not a king at all
We all know that you are news
# But are you King?
# King of the Jews?
# That's what you say
# What do
# You mean by that?
# That is not an answer
# You're deep
# In trouble, friend
# Someone, Christ, King of the Jews
# How can someone in your state
# Be so cool about his fate?
# An amazing thing
# This silent king
# Since you come from Galilee
# Then you need not come to me
# You're Herod's race
# He's Herod's case
# Hosanna, heysanna
# Sanna, sanna, ho
# Sanna, heysanna, hosanna
# Hey, J.C., J.C.
# Please explain to me
# You had everything
# Where is it now? #
# Jesus
# l am overjoyed
# To meet you face-to-face
# You've been getting quite a name
# All around the place
# Healing cripples
# Raising from the dead
That's pretty good.
# And now l understand you're God
# At least that's what he said
# So
# You are the Christ
# You're the great Jesus Christ
# Prove to me that you're divine
# Change my water into wine
# That's all you need do
# And l'll know it's all true
# Come on, King of the Jews
# Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here
# You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year
# But, oh, what a pity if it's all a lie
# Still l'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try
# So if you are the Christ
# Yes, the great Jesus Christ
# Prove to me that you're no fool
# Walk across my swimming pool
# lf you do that for me
# Then l'll let you go free
# Come on, King of the Jews
# So you decide
# ls he the Lord or is he a fraud?
# Text our number now We'll see you after the break
# l only ask things l'd ask any superstar
# What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
# Oh, l am waiting
# Yes, l'm a captive fan
# l'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man
# So if you are the Christ
# Yes, the great Jesus Christ
# Feed my household with this bread
# You can do it on your head
# Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long?
# Come on, King of the Jews!
# Hey, aren't you
# Scared of me, Christ?
# Mr Wonderful Christ
# You're a joke! You're not the Lord You are nothing but a fraud
# Take him away
# He's got nothing to say!
# Get out, you King of the
# Get out, you King of the Jews! #

# Hurry up and tell me
# This is all a dream
# Or could we start again, please?

# We ought to call a halt
# So could we start again, please?

MAN: Guards!
# My God, l saw him
# He looked three-quarters dead and he was so bad, l had to turn my head
# They beat him so hard that he was bent and lame
# And l know who everybody's gonna blame
# l don't believe he knows l acted for our good
# l'd save him all this suffering if l could
# Don't believe our good
# l'd save him if l could
# Cut the confession, forget the excuses
# l don't understand why you're filled with remorse
# All that you've said has come true with a vengeance
# The mob turned against him You backed the right horse
# What you have done will be the saving of lsrael
# You'll be remembered forever for this
# And not only that You've been paid for your efforts
# Pretty good wages for one little kiss
# Christ, l know you can't hear me
# But l only did what you wanted me to
# Christ, l'd sell out the nation
# For l have been saddled with the murder of you
# l have been spattered with innocent blood
# l shall be dragged through the slime and the mud
# l have been spattered with innocent blood
# l shall be dragged through the slime and the slime and the
# Slime and the mud
# l
# Don't know how to love him
# l don't know why he moves me
# He's a man
# He's just a man
# He is not a king
# He's just the same
# As anyone l know
# He scares me so
# When he's cold and dead
# Will he let me be? Does he love
# Does he love me, too?
# Does he care for me?
# My mind is in darkness now
# Oh, God, l am sick!
# l've been used!
# And you knew all the time!
# God! I will never, ever know
# Why you chose me
# For your crime!
# For your bloody crime!
# You have murdered me!
# Jesus!
# Poor old Judas
# So long, Judas
# Poor old Judas
# So long, Judas
# Poor old Judas
# So long, Judas
# Poor old Judas
# So long, Judas
# Poor old Judas
# So long, Judas
# And so the King
# ls once again my guest
# And why is this?
# Was Herod unimpressed?
# We turn to Rome
# To sentence Nazareth
# We have no law
# To put a man to death
# We need him crucified
# lt's all you have to do
# We need him crucified
# lt's all you have to do
# Talk to me, Jesus Christ You have been brought here
# Manacled, beaten by your own people
# Do you have the first idea why you deserve it?
# Listen, King of the Jews Where is your kingdom?
# Look at me Am l a Jew?
# l have got no kingdom
# ln this world, l'm through
# Through, through
# Talk to me, Jesus Christ
# There may be a kingdom for me somewhere
# lf l only knew
# Then you are a king
# lt's what you say l am
# l look for truth and find that l get damned
# But what is truth? Not easy to define
# We both have truths Are yours the same as mine?
# Crucify him! Crucify him!
# What do you mean? You'd crucify your king?
# We have no king but Caesar
# He's done no wrong No, not the slightest thing
# We have no king but Caesar Crucify him!
# Well, this is new Respect for Caesar!
# Till now, this has been noticeably lacking
# Who is this Jesus? Why is he different?
# You Jews produce Messiahs by the sackful
# We need him crucified lt's all you have to do
# Talk to me, Jesus Christ
# Look at your Jesus Christ
# l'll agree he's mad
# Ought to be locked up
# But that is not a reason to destroy him
# He's a sad little man, not a king or God
# Not a thief, I need a crime
# Kill him, he says he's God He's a blasphemer
# He'll conquer you and us and even Caesar
# Kill him!
# Crucify him! Crucify him!
# Behold the man, behold your shattered king
# We have no king but Caesar
# You hypocrites, you hate us more than him
# We have no king but Caesar Crucify him!
# I find no reason, I see no evil
# This man is harmless so why does he upset you?
# He's just misguided, thinks he's important
# But to keep you vultures happy l shall flog him!
# Crucify! Crucify!

# Where are you from, Jesus?
# What do you want, Jesus?
# Tell me
# You've got to be careful
# You could be dead soon
# Could well be
# Why do you not speak
# When l have your life in my hands?
# How can you stay quiet?
# l don't believe you understand
# You have nothing in your hands
# Any power you have comes to you from far beyond
# Everything is fixed, and you can't change it
# You're a fool, Jesus Christ!
# How can l help you?

# You misguided martyr!
# l wash my hands
# Of your demolition
# Die if you want to
# You innocent puppet!
# Every time l look at you, l don't understand
# Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
# You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned
# Why'd you choose such a backwards time and such a strange land?
# lf you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation
# lsrael in 4 B.C. had no mass communication

God, forgive them.
They don't know what they're doing.
Where is my mother?
My God.
My God, why have you forsaken me?
l'm thirsty, l'm thirsty.
lt is finished.
Father,
into your hands
l commend
my spirit.
-Thank you. -Thanks again.
Oh, my gosh.
l just don't know really what to say...
Thank you to everybody.
l mean, what an extraordinary thing for me to see this brought back,
to where l'd hoped it would always be, in a rock and roll arena.
And with this fabulous, fabulous cast.
One of the problems about being in a rock venue is, um,
Tim will tell you, and Mel will tell you, is that...
What happens is that about this time of night
the set gets moved, so we could be here...
And if l talked for hours and l said thank you to everybody,
bits and pieces of the scenery would start to be removed from underneath me,
so, um... And all of us.
So l'm gonna keep it very, very simple and l'd like to say
thank you to our fantastic cast.
And Laurence Connor, who directed the show so brilliantly.
And our wonderful live rock band.
We are live, remember that.
And just before they clear the set away...
This may sound very, very strange.
l would like to dedicate this performance to one person
who was with me when Superstar was written.
Her name was Sarah, and l'd like to say,
if you're in the audience, Sarah, thank you for coming.
Thank you, all of you.
