As its more like a Play on Stage
for Fellow Artists to view.

...I'm just thinking about stage plays now and the huge Broadway/West End productions/successes...so Jesus Christ Superstar should have always been an all black cast for authenticity...because Nazareth and back in the day etc, there couldn't possibly have been 'white'...hmmmm, we need to look that up Arista, all of the castings for those since it was first on the stage...I'll have to leave that up to you if you have time because I'm off to work now....have a lovely day Arista...
