Tim Rice kann mit Andrew Lloyd Webbers Plänen, eine Hauptrolle für seine Neuproduktion der Rockoper »Jesus Christ Superstar” per Castingshow zu vergeben (siehe –> hier), nichts anfangen. Er meint dazu:

“I’ve had several meetings with Andrew and said that I don’t want this done, but now it appears it’s been signed and sealed. Andrew wants to rehash things all the time, but I really don’t think Superstar needs that tasteless reality television treatment. Those shows are relentlessly downmarket, which is fine if the show is a lightweight bit of fluff. I am fully behind an arena show, but I just don’t think you need another television series to do that.” [rte.ie]
