A musical interlude this evening at The Wild Reed with Yvonne Elliman's beautiful rendition of "I Don't Know How to Love Him" (from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar). She's playing the role of Mary Magdalene.

This song brings back memories. Sometimes being young isn't easy.
I recall playing Jesus in a short Easter play we put on one year (1992) i presume, with some music from Jesus Christ Superstar - "Could we start again please"
Good memory!

Hi Jim,
Yes, you do have a good memory! I greatly enjoyed putting together those plays. And if I recall, you played Jesus very well! It was at St. Michael's Noviciate, wasn't it? I hear that place doesn't even exist anymore. Well, at least not as a noviciate or any other type of religious centre.
If you want, you can watch "Could We Start Again, Please?" at the end of this previous post.
I hope all is going well with you in Australia. I look forward to reconnecting with you one day!
Peace,
Michael
