Kyle Patrick as Jesus and Enrique Miguel as John the Baptist/Judas exuded the charisma that made their characters leaders of people. They possessed a chemistry showing how their relationship could withstand and survive struggles and conflicts.

Floating lanterns helped Patrick put in a moving performance of “Beautiful City,” perhaps the most impassioned and memorable songs of the evening, an aspirational number that all but begs people to come together to create a world of hope.

In the crucifixion scene, Patrick revealed that he is more than a triple threat with powerhouse singing, acting and dancing. He is also a skilled aerialist and gymnast. His work added a breathtaking element to an already emotional scene.
