When most people think of Andrew Lloyd Weber's and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar they usually think of a successful attempt at a rock musical, all about everyone's favourite Messiah. However, after attending Peaches Christ Superstar Tuesday night, I will never think of this musical the same way again.
My family and I trekked off to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to see Peaches, and I don't think any of us knew really what to expect. Usually Peaches music is more...well...it's different then what she played on Tuesday (just listen to one track off of I Feel Cream or The Teaches of Peaches and you'll know what I mean.) But we did all know one thing forsure: this was going to be one original night.
Peaches performed every single part of every single song effortlessly, just her and her piano player, Chilly Gonzales. For some songs (like Everything's Alright) Peaches would change her body position to show different character, and then for other songs she didn't, but the audience stayed with her every moment.
Decked out in gold outfits (a puffier jacket looking one for act II) her voice sounded brilliant, and she hit every note just right, sometimes belting out (during Gethsemane) like these songs were written for her. And after Tuesday night, I think that they really may have been written for her.
It was one of the best concerts I have ever seen, one of the most entertaining nights of my life, and now I think we've found our saviour...of music that is.
