Jesus Christ Superstar (2000) you will always be famous in my heart for the depiction of Judas’ betrayal… “must you betray me with a kiss” putting the emphasis not on the betrayal (which always had to happen) but on the method of identifying Jesus… when I CATCH YOU! Jesus looking to Judas’ lips while Judas tries to express something anything to him before the guards grab them. Judas’ hand to his lips after he and Jesus are torn apart I am so sane about this.
There is something just sooo dramatic about how this delivery differs from so many other JCS productions which focus on “must you betray me with a kiss” as one unit collectively in the line, while 2000 separates it into “must you betray me <with a kiss>”… why in this horrible but predetermined moment must you be so painstakingly human WHAT IF I EXPLODED

How bad is YOUR touch starvation? (Based on your favorite production of Jesus Christ Superstar)
1973- you’re doing okay! You probably have cuddle puddles with your friends and a SO that’s on the same page as you. Or you just don’t like/need touch all that much (and that’s okay)
2012 Arena - you think a lot about the contact that could have been huh? A good hug will fix you. Also you really want to brush someone’s hair.
2012 Bway - you might have friends that do like to snuggle but their schedules aren’t flexible enough for this to be a regular thing. If you have a SO, their love language is not physical touch. You want to give and receive affection so much it hurts. You’re frustrated but if you put the work in this can be resolved.
2014 Swedish - You are Grizabella belting “TOUCH ME” to anybody in earshot but if they actually approach you either scamper away or get into the most toxic relationship of your life at earth shattering speed. The inevitable breakup is very messy. You have trust issues. Maybe unpack why that is.
2000 - Oh. Oh honey. Please go see either a therapist or a BDSM group. I can’t help you and neither can that weighted blanket.
