Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The first sung song is 'Heaven On Their Minds' sung by Judas, warning Jesus that he should quit while he's ahead. But how many times are the words 'heaven on their minds' sung within the song?

Answer: Once

Despite that fact that it is the title of the song, the words 'heaven on their minds' are sung only one.

"All your followers are blind. Too much heaven on their minds."

Answer: 300 pieces of silver or more

Judas snatches the bottle and claims that:
"We could have raised 300 silver pieces or more!"

3. The jovial song 'Hosanna' shows the crowd's love for Jesus. The crowd ask Jesus to do a number of things for them. What do they NOT ask him to do?

Answer: Dance for them

The crowd ask if Jesus will:
"Hey JC, JC, won't you smile at me?"
"Hey JC, JC, won't you fight for me?"
and "Hey JC, JC, won't you die for me?"

4. Simon leads the people in a song of praise. He sings of the power that Jesus now holds and how the people would follow him everywhere. He mentions hate for a place, where?

Answer: Rome

Simon sings:
"Keep them yelling their devotion, but add a touch of hate at Rome!"

5. Pilate has a dream about the death of Jesus and the consequential blame of himself. The opening line is "I dreamed I met a..." Who did Pilate dream he met?

Answer: A Galilean

"I dreamed I met a Galilean, a most amazing man."

Answer: Thieves

7. Judas turns Jesus in to Caiaphas and for all he is betraying a close friend, does seem to feel some remorse for what he is doing. He is afraid of being what?

Answer: Damned for all time

Judas repeatedly says:
"Just don't say that, I'm damned for all time."

Answer: 39

Pilate knows that 40 lashes will kill Jesus and since he knows that he is innocent, cannot deliver the 40. He does count out the lashes eerily throughout the flogging. I always found that a little sinister.

Answer: Hangs himself

Judas realises that he has gone too far in betraying his best friend and knows he must die before the blame shifts round to him. He hangs himself. It's actually quite a sad scene.

10. Jesus is crucified at Calvary and is taken by his father into heaven. The epilogue music of the show is named after a bible verse, what is the name?

Answer: John Nineteen: Forty-One

It's a beautifully haunting piece of music and really does make you feel for the characters.
