Actor Brian Justin Crum said he hopes to bring a rich psychological dimension to the role of Judas Iscariot at Moonlight Amphitheatre
In returning to live musical theater after a 10-year hiatus, San Diego-born and -educated Brian Justin Crum decided to go local. He’s starring as Judas Iscariot in Moonlight Stage Productions’ staging of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s venerable “Jesus Christ Superstar” at the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista.
The “Jesus Christ Superstar” casting is, Crum says, “a chance to play in a space that feels safe. I did ‘My One and Only’ at Moonlight when I was about 16 years old.”Not only are the open-air confines familiar, but Crum is performing with a Jesus whom he has known since their teenage years and a King Herod with whom he did children’s theater.
As for Judas the man, “I’ve come to understand the nuances of life and why people do the things they do,” said Crum. “I actually went and read the Gospel of Judas that was found in the 1970s. It goes into detail about the relationship between him and Jesus and how Jesus wanted him to do this . Expanding further, Crum said that “There are a lot of beautiful qualities about Judas that have gotten lost through history. My hope is to bring something to this character that feels very soft and tender in a way that I haven’t seen Judas portrayed before.”
