| 1 | %%* The Finale. |
| 2 | * During the "On the Willows" scene, it's when all of the Disciples remove their makeup, signifying their return to being human beings. The first touching moment is when Jesus holds up a mirror to Judas, as if to tell him "Take a good look at yourself", then starts removing his makeup. However, he's only the first, and it's not a punishment. All of the Disciples are returning to being normal human beings. When Jerry reaches to remove Jesus' makeup, he stops him, and shakes his hand wistfully "no." Another moment is when Jesus says one of them will betray him, and each of the Disciples ask jestfully, "Can you mean me?" When Judas asks, "Rabbi? Can you mean ''me''?", Jesus tells him, "Do what you must do." Shockingly (to the other Disciples, of course), he runs off. That's what makes the "On the Willows" scene so sad. |
| 3 | * In some productions (and in the film), each Disciple has their own little gimmick that they periodically do throughout the show, especially during their spotlight song. During "On the Willows," each one performs their gimmick for Jesus, who returns the gimmick Himself, one last time before he goes off to die. |
| 4 | * The new version of "Beautiful City" is this crossed with a Heartwarmer. The arrangement has been stripped down, becoming something of a hopeful lament by Jesus, praying for a future that he knows he'll not survive to see. (At least in this incarnation.) |
