PEACHES CHRIST SUPERSTAR Comes to the US
According to her website, Peaches will be bringing her one-woman version of Jesus Christ Superstar (entitled Peaches Christ Superstar) to the US after a highly successful European tour. Peaches will be joined by piano virtuoso and rap entertainer, Chilly Gonzolez.
The production narrates the story of the last week in the life of Jesus Christ - from entering Jerusalem until the crucifixion, using songs from the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical. Peaches will sing all roles including: Jesus, Maria Magdalena, the disciples and the Pharisees, alongside Gonzales' piano accompaniment.
Peaches said of the show, "To perform Jesus Christ Superstar as a one-woman-song is
a crazy enterprise. Very demanding and very difficult. When I was sixteen I often sang the whole musical to myself all alone in my room. It tells an entire story without spoken text, only with vocals, in the style of a rock opera. I'm a performer, my concerts are extravagant and play with exaggerations. This project allows me to do without all this. I want to confront this task totally exposed, because it is a possibility. It's a question of stamina."
