ResumoI have been thinking about our strange, shared attachment to the rock-opera Jesus Christ Superstar (both stage musical and its film adaptation).Especially our attachments to the characters of Judas and Mary Magdalene, and their exchange in the song "Everything's Alright."In the 1971 Broadway production, the role of Judas was performed by two Black actors: Carl Anderson (who also played the role in the film) and Broadway legend Ben Vereen.Mary Magdalene was embodied on stage and screen by iconic Japanese American performer and 1970s disco hitmaker Yvonne Elliman
