Jesus Christ Superstar Is NOT Down With The Teaches Of Peaches!!!

This is a total bummer!! We would have LOVED to see this!!

Electro-rapper and all-around FANTASTIC human being Peaches had planned a very special concert where she would perform the music of the musical Jesus Christ: Superstar as a one woman show in Berlin!!!

AMAZING!!

However, the German right holders to Andrew Lloyd Weber‘s shows RUINED EVERYTHING when they refused to give her permission to perform the music!!

WTF??

Peaches took to the internets to tweet the pain away.

“[They] claim that this project is of no interest to them due to its unconventional form,” she wrote. “It’s a shame that the authorities feel threatened by this fresh approach. I know a lot of people who really love the music and would appreciate this stripped-down solo performance. I have so much respect for the music and lyrics from the original score and this was my way of honouring that.”

The singer had earlier said:

“I’m a performer, my concerts are extravagant and play with exaggerations. This project allows me to do without all this. I want to confront this task totally exposed, because it is a possibility. It’s a question of stamina.”

This really sucks!!

Let’s all pray that the rights holders change their mind!!

Update: It’s been resurrected! Producers changed their minds and granted Peaches permission to do a JCS solo show for 3 nights in Berlin! AMAZEBALLS!
