    If only I had the money to fly to Australia I would be there in a heartbeat. Though I can’t help but notice there is some time after the australian tour. Maybe could pop across the ditch to new zealand and play it here.

Having already seen the movie version and bought the DVD, we’re so looking forward to seeing you here as Judas, Tim. And then later on in ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’. It’s going to be a great year for your fans in Australia. Keep well and stay sane with all that is happening around you!

    How totally awesome that Jesus Christ Superstar is opening it Australia in Tim’s home town Perth Western Australia. We can’t wait to see it especially as the Youtube of Tim’s performance is amazing. I had tears running down my face watching the emotion he put into his performance after his character has betrayed Jesus.
    Tim you are a legend in your own lifetime. So much talent and at such a young age. Everyone you love must be so proud of you.

  26. Angela

    I agree with Jane-Would love to see you guys bring this to the US, or at least LA since you’ll already be in Australia. We’re just a hop-skip-and a jump away ;-)

    What a treat to have you back in Perth, Tim. How proud your family will be to have you here performing again on home turf. I last saw JCS in Sydney in the 80’s with Jon English as Judas. I can’t wait to see you perform that fabulous role. So excited….

    It is great that Tim can reprise his role in the Australian tour! I thought he was absolutely amazing!
    Unfortunately Australia is at the other side of the world. Is he coming back for the 2013 UK tour?
