** On a different note, whether or not Christ is actually divine is ambiguous. There is evidence both for (his prophecy to Peter and Judas) and against (Jesus running from the lepers instead of healing them, and his prayers in Gethsemane) in the music, and it is typically left to the individual production to sort it out, usually in Judas' "Jesus Christ Superstar" number and after Jesus' death, where some productions will throw in a hint that he has resurrected.'

** Herod is usually played one of two ways: as a petulant Manchild who expects Jesus to perform miracles on his command (after all, he's King and normally his every whim is law) and throws a tantrum when Jesus won't dignify him with a response, or as a SmugSnake who doesn't believe in Jesus' divinity and is only out to mock and humiliate Him. Josh Mostel in the 1973 version is the former kind; Victor Spinetti on the 20th anniversary London cast album and Alice Cooper in the 2018 version are the latter kind.
