Episode description
Richard Carroll is joined by Toby Francis (star of Kinky Boots Australia and award-winning cabaret writer/performer) to discuss Jesus Christ Superstar, the rock musical based on an obscure ancient middle eastern story.
They get into the evolution of the idea from concept album to world-conquering smash hit show, the crazy 70s-ness of the movie, the quirks of Toby's religious upbringing, and why we haven't yet had a black female Jesus.
