Jesus Christ Superstar
JCS opened in Sydney on August 4th, 1992 and continued on to Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. The day the box office opened tickets sold at a rate of 400 per minute. Extra shows were released around the country.
John starred as Jesus, a role he was initially reluctant to undertake when first approached by Harry M. Miller at the 1989 Grand Prix in Adelaide.
John thought Harry was kidding around and planning three years ahead wasn't something John did. Harry then approached Glenn with the idea and after good market research and some convincing talks from Harry John signed on.
John's co-stars were Kate Ceberano as Mary, Jon Stevens as Judas, Jon Waters as Pontius Pilate and Angry Anderson as Herod.
