My first thought when I saw it was cast recording, but that would probably have further excited announcements about announcements from other people. I still want it though.

Funnily enough I have been 4 times and only seen Declan/Tyrone. What are the chances!
Don't mind about Riccardo too much as saw him so many times at the Barbican. He's amazing but after last year I don't feel deprived.
I would like to see Pepe though as never seen him. Is he good? Not seen many reports on here.
OAT's earlier statement that would always be a random mix of the leads turned out not to be true didn't it. Bar sickness and a few pre-booked commitments Declan/Tyrone and Pepe/Riccardo always paired.

I’ve been twice and got Pepe/ Ricardo both times. Am booked for Tuesday- am really hoping to get Declan as his performances in 16/17 were phenomenal and I’d like to see it again!

I have to say, Declan is phenomenal in the role. As definitive as Neeley in the 70s film, Balsamo in 96. Bennett's Jesus is one for the moment - well and truly nailed. Can't speak highly enough of it - every time he has blown me away. That said, I'd like to see a different pairing just for the fun of it.

If I had a choice, I’d like to see Declan/ Ricardo- I can see from the list that they’ve done a couple of shows together and I can only imagine how well they’d play off each other. I’m sad that there’s only 2 weeks left of this magnificent production. |

I agree with those saying Declan is excellent. Would just like to see Pepe really as not seen him, nor really heard much about him.
Declan has a very interesting voice. Like the lady (name escapes me sorry) who was Mary at the Barbican, it really isn't classic MT. It is MT mixed with soul, jazz and blues and really does have a gorgeous quality.

Pepe is really good, but doesn’t quite have the same presence as Declan for me.

Returns - most returns are going straight back online rather than held for box office. Keep checking and you should get lucky - the show has virtually sold out now.

Ricardo just announced on Instagram that he will make a very exciting announcement tomorrow. I’m not entirely sure that I think announcements about announcements are a good thing, but I am allowing myself a tiny bit of hope that it’s a recording of JCS announcement. Although even as I type that, I think that the rules of PR mean he wouldn’t get to make that announcement. So the announcement wasn't JCS related. He's got a new band. |

So by my calculations I think it will be Declan/Tyrone/Anoushka this evening and Pepe/Ricardo/Maimuna for both shows tomorrow. Could be wrong though. 🤪

After what seems like a lifetime ago booking for this, I'm getting to finally watch this on Tuesday night. Having a look on the BBC weather page, the weather doesn't look too bad for the evening at the moment. With all the positive reviews and my first time at the OAT, I'm really hoping for a memorable night. I am sitting on the single areas on the grass at the side of the stage (seat 4) so I hope it's not a bad view.

So then... Pepe, Ricardo, Maimuna and cast put on a great show. Ricardo is electric as Judas, as those who saw him last year can vouch. I'd like to see Declan and Ricardo together, though I can't help feeling Pepe is a better vocal match for Ricardo. The Last Supper was high energy, and a highlight for me.
Superstar was mesmerising - Ricardo dominates the stage so much, I didn't even notice Jesus was on the cross! Pepe's Gethsemane was really good, though I prefer Declan B's slightly more desperate interpretation.
Whilst it's not fair to compare, my personal preferred leads are Declan/Tyrone/Anoushka, as they gel better in my view. I'm hoping I might see DB/RA slug it out at some point.

More tickets released for previously sold out performances - groups of 2, 3 and 4. No singles. Not many so get in while you can.
