text: Southwest Central Region Home Page News, Information and Resources for the Southwest Central Region July 2014 – SWC Regional MAC Rep Update: It was great to see and visit with the Volunteer Leaders in Orlando, FL at the 2014 SHRM Annual Conference. The MAC met during the 2014 SHRM Annual Conference with the SHRM Board of Directors as well as the SHRM Foundation Board of Directors. At the SHRM Board's direction, we focused on the new SHRM Certification rather than the results of the two mini surveys conducted earlier this year. The results of these mini surveys are tabled to the MAC Meeting with the SHRM Board during the SHRM Volunteer Leaders Summit in November. Thank you for reaching out to me and Field Service Directors during this time of change and progression. Your candidness on the webinars and conference calls leading up to the MAC Meeting with the Board was helpful. The MAC captured and presented the following information in our report: Eight focus areas Member feedback Certified Professionals SHRM Chapters and State Councils California Strategy SHRM Communications Approved Providers SHRM/HRCI Relationship Leadership Based on the feedback provided, we offered the following recommendations: SHRM needs to have a member-focused campaign which demonstrates the value of the SHRM certification. The current perception is that of a revenue-driven focus. SHRM should develop communication around the Value of SHRM's Competency Model and how it substantially differentiates itself from the HRCI certification. We suggest that SHRM stop using the word "transition" in communications and focus on moving the profession forward. SHRM should create a focus group of SHRM Volunteer Leaders to assist SHRM in creating an effective and efficient recertification process. Additionally, SHRM needs to equip the field staff to promote and further engage members about the SHRM certification at the state and chapter level. Finally, we as the MAC, collectively recommend that we be given the opportunity to continue to reach out to members regarding the SHRM certification and begin laying the foundation for engagement. We want to be an instrument for change in advancing the profession and serving the professionals. I encourage you and your team to continue forwarding questions, comments, concerns, recommendations, etc., to your SWC Region Field Services Director and myself. Please include both of my email addresses listed below when corresponding so I can make sure I receive them: firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com A special thank you goes out to Oklahoma SHRM for their hospitality and support during my visit to Tulsa for their State Council Meeting and State Conference. Jeff Owens and his team did an amazing job! I plan to travel to New Mexico in July to support Ilene Colina and her NM SHRM team for their State Council Meeting. As your MAC rep, I ask each State Council Director to allow me to call in to your State Council Meetings as often as possible. Finally, if my calendar and personal finances allow, I may be available to travel to your state to attend one of your State Council Meetings and/or conferences.

Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Spa Review
The location on downtown's northern edge is just a few blocks from the malecón, shops, hotels, and restaurants. The beach has gentle waves, but with brown sand and rocks. Views up and down the bay are great; it attracts more fishermen and people walking or jogging than bathers. There's a lively pool scene; the adults-only area, a shallow pool with submerged chaise longues facing the sea, is a big part of the draw. Rooms are cheerful, with wood furniture, bright white linens, and tastefully subdued accent colors. Ocean-facing balconies are tiny, and if you sit, you can't see a thing. Still, the sum of the whole makes up for any deficiencies, and the all-inclusive rate is a good deal, especially for families.

For Immediate Release: Monday, June 9, 2014
Larry Cary, President of the Brooklyn Technical High School Alumni Foundation, which represents more than 80,000 Brooklyn Tech graduates, said, "The Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation recognizes that the issue of using the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) as the sole criterion for admission to a specialized high school is a complex and challenging topic and we have always maintained that any public policy discussion about admissions criteria must be thoughtful, inclusive of a wide range of stakeholders and based on a full and accurate analysis of the facts. Unfortunately, while we recognize the good intentions behind the bill recently introduced in Albany to amend the admissions criteria, this legislation as written is seriously flawed and we urge the Legislature and the Governor not to push through such an important and far reaching bill in the very last minutes of the legislative session. The impacts on our New York City schools, students and families are far too serious to rush a bill through at the eleventh hour with no public hearings, no public discourse, and no opportunity for the thoughtful discussion this issue deserves."...[full statement]

WASHINGTON — Losing a conference game 15-1 is never an easy pill to swallow, but it wasn't the pitching that concerned Washington coach Steve Reed Saturday at the Sports Complex Saturday.
Mount Vernon batted around, scoring eight runs in the top of the seventh to hand Washington (8-6) a 15-1 Big Eight loss.
Yet, after scoring 10 runs the previous night in a 10-1 conference win at Boonville, the Hatchets managed four hits and the single run the following day.
"We just didn't hit," Reed said. "We struggled at the plate. We've got to start hitting the ball and competing at the plate. It's something that we have to figure out."
The Wildcats, 13-3, had led 7-1 heading into the seventh before the eight-run outburst.
Washington's Jake Bedwell started and pitched through the first six innings. While he gave up seven runs on 11 hits, the Hatchet defense also made five errors that helped lead to Wildcat runs and an extended pitch count.
"I thought Jake threw the ball pretty well," Reed said. "We made some errors behind him. We need to make those plays so we can help keep his pitch count down. I wasn't going to let him throw more than 100 pitches. He has to come back for us next week."
River Vanzant hit a home run in the top of the second inning to give the guests a 1-0 lead. Trevor Veeck and Clay Ford singled in the third for Mount Vernon's second run.
Mount Vernon reached Bedwell for three runs in the fourth behind a double from Bryce Newman and singles from Logan Brown and Jevin Redman. A walk to Veeck was added to the mix.
The Wildcats added two in the sixth on two hits, a walk and an error.
Washington got its run in the sixth on a double from Brayden Walls and a fielder's choice at second from Nathan Sult.

Patrol officers, detectives, and members of the Community Impact Unit and Special Response Unit worked together on the investigation, which included crime analysis, stationary and mobile surveillance, and "digital intelligence," the release said.
Police are working to locate the owners of the stolen property.
Mizioch is believed to have acted alone.
Mizioch will also face charges of receiving stolen property over $250 and larceny by false pretense in Lynnfield. Those charges are in relation to his sale of jewelry to the Lynnfield pawn shop, according to the release.
The investigation was commanded by Capt. Thomas Griffin and Lt. Stephen Bona and led by Gaudet under the supervision of Detective Sgt. Kristian Hanson. Also involved in the investigation were officers Michael Levesque, William Jennings, Robert Phelan, Robert Cunningham, Deni Gaito and Thomas Pelletier; Sgts.

We were so excited when we saw the wooden box on our desk with the words "Bob Marley" branded into the top. A CD box set? Possibly--if we are very very lucky--a box set of 7"s? With little booklets that have liner notes full of interesting and amazing facts about one of the word's seminal performers of reggae music?
No. It was none of those things. It was a box full of Bob Marley
energy drinks relaxation drinks. They are called Mellow Mood, after a song that appeared on the B-side of the 1966 song "Bend Down Low". Often hailed as one of Marley's first masterpieces, it is now the name of a concoction consisting of valerian and corn syrup and some other herbs whose effectiveness has not been evaluated by the FDA.
This is not the first time a legendary song, band, or musician has been used in bad taste to hock cheap wares or advance corporate interests, and it probably won't be the last. What follows is a list of five other horrific examples thereof.
Artist: Bob Dylan
Song: Forever Young
Product: Pepsi
The iconic folk-singer who wrote countless protest songs and has been a major figure of American music for over five decades appeared in 2009 with Will.i.am to perform Forever Young in an effort to advertise Pepsi Cola products to Super Bowl fans. You know, Pepsi? The $43 billion dollar snack food and beverage multinational corporation currently developing special products to
give sell to malnourished and starving people in the global south.
The Guardian seemed somewhat disgusted when it wrote:
The advertisement, entitled Refresh Anthem, will likely air during this Sunday's Superbowl game. These commercials cost £2m for every 30 seconds and Pepsi are reportedly considering three or four different spots for the game. Only one of these spots features the man who wrote Blowin' In the Wind and the man who co-wrote My Humps.
The commercial features a "mash up" of Bob Dylan's Forever Young and Will.I.Am's doubtless poignant interpretation. Will.I.Am will perform over a "visual collage of iconic images celebrating generations past and present", Pepsi said in a statement. They may show footage, for instance, of Bob Dylan drinking Pepsi. Or Will.I.Am drinking Pepsi. And if they are lucky, of Barack Obama drinking Pepsi.
Artist: Janis Joplin
Song: Mercedes Benz
Product: Mercedes Benz
Janis Joplin, blues singer, rock'n'roller, and rebel, recorded this a capella tongue-and-cheek song as the B-side to "Cry Baby" and it is considered one of her best and best known tracks . The song showed off her vocal skills, and the lyrics ridiculed consumerism while also acknowledging the degree to which she was unwillingly ensnared in its clutches. A song of "great social and political import", in her own words, that left the listener wondering if she was or wasn't just a teeny bit serious. The ad features a fleet of Mercedes escaping their garages and heading for a dealership warehouse, or something that looks sort of like a dealership warehouse while playing "Mercedes Benz" on the radio. The ad ends with P.Diddy looking for his silver Mercedes. Ha! Ha! Ha! Get it??? This ad also aired during the Super Bowl.

Since the early 1980s, the mean grade point average at American colleges and universities has risen at a rate of between 0.1 and 0.15 points per decade. Most of this increase can be attributed to an increase in the share of As assigned (which now comprise nearly half of all grades), with significant drops in the assignment of lower grades (Rojstaczer 2011 and Rojstaczer and Healy 2012).

moreStars are born and die in clouds of gas and dust, opaque to most types of radiation, but transparent in the infrared. Requiring complex detectors, space missions and cooled telescopes, infrared astronomy is the last branch of this discipline to come of age. After a very successful sky survey performed in the eighties by the IRAS satellite, the Infrared Space Observatory, in the nineties, brought spectacular advances in the understanding of the processes giving rise to powerful infrared emission by a great variety of celestial sources. Outstanding results have been obtained on the bright comet Hale-Bopp, and in particular of its water spectrum, as well as on the formation, chemistry and dynamics of planetary objects in the solar system. Ideas on the early stages of stellar formation and on the stellar initial mass function have been clarified. less

Tesco exits US market with Fresh & Easy sale
By SeafoodSource staff
Published on 10 September, 2013
U.K. retailer Tesco on Tuesday said following a strategic review, it has agreed to sell a substantive part of Fresh & Easy's operating business to YFE Holdings, an affiliate of Yucaipa Companies.
As part of the restructuring process, Yucaipa will acquire more than 150 stores as well as Fresh & Easy's Riverside distribution and production facilities. More than 4,000 employees will also transfer to the new business. As part of the deal, Tesco will loan the new business GBP 80 million (USD 126.6 million, EUR 95.1 million), secured against the Riverside Campus facility.
The stores not included in the transaction will be closed over the coming weeks. The total cash outflow relating to the closures, other expenses and the loan is expected to be no more than GBP 150 million (USD 273.4 million, EUR 178.3 million).
The sale to Yucaipa is expected to be complete within three months. Following the completion of the sale, there will be no financial exposure for Tesco.
"The decision we are announcing today represents the best outcome for Tesco shareholders and Fresh & Easy's stakeholders. It offers us an orderly and efficient exit from the U.S. market, while protecting the jobs of more than 4,000 colleagues at Fresh & Easy," said Phillip Clarke, Tesco CEO.

TRENTON – The Joint Committee on the Public Schools and co-chairman Sen. Ron Rice Sr. (D-28), of Newark, sat down to hear from Acting Education Commissioner Christopher Cerf and Schools Development Authority Executive Director Marc Larkins today, but only Larkins showed to face the upper- and lower-chamber mixed panel.

(TRENTON) - Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Sheila Y. Oliver released the following statements Friday on Gov. Chris Christie's vetoes of job creation and economic development bills:Read More >
TRENTON - Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney today released the following statement after learning of Governor Christie's endorsement of attempts by Wisconsin's Republican Governor to end collective bargaining for public employees:
"Perhaps the governor is just a little tired from all his travel this week and misspoke, in which case he should apologize. Or perhaps he actually let slip how he really feels, in which case he needs to explain himself.
"What Gov. Walker is trying to do in Wisconsin isn't reform, it's just plain wrong.
"Any attempt by Gov. Christie to mirror Gov. Walker will die at the doorway of his office. I have worked with the Governor on reforms to public employee pensions and benefits, and I will continue to do so. But collective bargaining is an essential right of labor, and I will not let New Jersey follow the dangerous trail being blazed in Wisconsin, where workers rights can be tossed aside in the name of right-wing, tea party politics."Read More >
(TRENTON) – Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Sheila Y. Oliver released the following statements Thursday as Gov. Chris Christie joined a Fox News Channel commentator for a discussion on the economy:
SWEENEY (D-Gloucester/Salem/Cumberland):
"It is telling that the panel Governor Christie is appearing with is headlined by the CEO's of large scale corporations, even though it is small businesses that are the backbone of our economy and the state's leading employers.
"Instead of polishing his national conservative credentials by appearing with big business leaders on Fox, the Governor should head back to Trenton and sign the 30 bills on his desk that would actually do something to help businesses large and small create jobs and get the economy moving."
OLIVER (D-Essex/Passaic):
"The time for sitting around and chatting about job creation and economic development is long past over.
"Democrats were way ahead of the governor in recognizing that jobs and the economy are of vital importance to the people of New Jersey. That's why we took strong action to jumpstart our economy with a sweeping legislative package to spark job creation.
"Unfortunately, those bills languish on the governor's desk with unemployment hovering above 9 percent and the state having lost 16,300 jobs in December.
"The governor needs to pick up his pen and sign these bills."Read More >
GOP keeps campaign promises by forcing colleagues to expedite ban on full-time health benefits for freeholders, political appointeesRead More >
TRENTON – Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Sheila Y. Oliver today said news on the state's unemployment rate sends a strong message that fixing the economy must remain the top priority in Trenton, and urged the governor to enact the comprehensive "Back to Work NJ" jobs and economic growth initiative currently sitting on his desk.
According to the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development, New Jersey's unemployment rate is 9.1 percent, down .1 percent from last month. But a deeper look into the data shows that the numbers were driven by a double-whammy of private-sector job losses and an increasing number of unemployed residents dropping out of the workforce entirely. With the holidays passed, seasonal employees were let go.Read More >
TRENTON - Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney released the following statement after listening to Governor Christie's state of the state address:
"The Governor says he wants to stay the course over the coming year. I certainly hope he doesn't mind taking an exit ramp, because New Jersey won't be able to afford to stay a course of higher property taxes and continually high unemployment.
"For his talk of 'cutting the popular to fund the necessary,' it's obvious that in Chris Christie's New Jersey working families are popular, but millionaires are necessary.
"Working families see their schools as necessary, but the Governor cut them anyway. Property tax relief is necessary, but he cut it anyway. Women's health is necessary, but he cut it anyway and refused to budge even when presented with realistic and bipartisan options.
"What is most necessary now is real action to improve our business climate and create jobs. The Governor needs to remember that small businesses, not the millionaires among whom he's very popular, create jobs.
"We have presented the Governor with 30 bills that are necessary to reposition our economy from one of stagnation and high unemployment to one of growth and opportunity. They would do exactly what the Governor said he wants to do: roll back the taxes that are strangling small business.
"Nothing else is possible unless we get New Jersey back to work. There's no time to waste. The Governor should sign these bills today so we can start tomorrow on a better course."Read More >
Measures Promote Job Creation & Retention, Improved Business Climate
(TRENTON) – Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Sheila Y. Oliver on Thursday hailed the passage of about 20 bills designed to create jobs and economic development throughout New Jersey.
The legislative leaders initially announced the "Back to Work NJ" initiative in November as New Jersey's unemployment rate continued to hover above 9 percent throughout 2010. More bills to create jobs and boost the economy will be considered on Monday.
"Today we sent a strong message to residents and the business community that 2011 will not be another lost year for New Jersey's economy," said Sweeney (D-Gloucester/Cumberland/ Salem). "This is the bold, aggressive effort we need to start the year right and to attract businesses and create good jobs."
"This is great momentum for the new year and I'm very pleased with today's progress, but it was just a start toward rebuilding our economy," said Oliver (D-Essex/Passaic). "We sent a strong message to residents and businesses that we are here to help lift our economy and spark job creation and economic development, but we have much more to do. Ensuring strong and sustainable jobs for our residents and a vibrant business environment for our state will be a continued focus."Read More >
SWEENEY INVITES DeCROCE TO SOUTH JERSEY UNION HALL TO MEET 'THESE PEOPLE'
Says Assembly Republican Leader 'Could Learn a Lot' From Unemployed
TRENTON - Still seething over Assembly Minority Leader Alex DeCroce's comments yesterday that scapegoated the unemployed as "these people" living a supposedly comfortable lifestyle on unemployment, Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney today invited the legislator to join him at his ironworkers union hall to meet face-to-face with the jobless residents he insulted.
"Alex may not come across too many of 'these people' in his wealthy suburban district, so maybe he needs a little trip to meet with the unemployed he holds in such low regard," said Sweeney (D-Gloucester/Cumberland/Salem). "I'm at my union hall at 5:30 every morning, and I see plenty of folks who would give anything find a job and get off unemployment. I would welcome Alex to join me any day of the week to meet with 'these people' himself. I'm sure it would be quite an education."
At a New Jersey Business and Industry Association-sponsored event yesterday, DeCroce said that current unemployment benefits are "too good for these people." He went on to say that unemployment benefits - which average roughly $350 per worker - are "too generous" and that jobless residents don't have an incentive to find work.
Sweeney noted that two weeks ago, DeCroce was quoted in the Wall Street Journal admitting his party does not even have a jobs plan, and that economic growth is "on the back burner."
As a legislator, DeCroce earns $49,000 a year. His wife, Betty Lou, is deputy commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs at $130,168 annually.
"Things may be comfy in Alex's dual-government-income household with its government-provided health benefits, but the men I talk to every day have no health insurance, no savings to dip into to pay their property taxes and are losing hope of finding good work," said Sweeney, who does not take public health benefits and donates a significant part of his public salary to charity.
Sweeney said DeCroce is failing the unemployed Morris County residents he represents. According to the latest data, the county's unemployment rate is 6.6 percent.
One of the state's and nation's wealthiest counties, according to 2008 tax data, Morris County has the state's third highest average income per filer, at $114,555.
"Alex DeCroce could learn a lot if he took some time to see that 'these people' are hard-working residents who want nothing more than to get back to work so they can provide for their families," said Sweeney. "His insensitive comments have shown just how out of touch he is with the real challenges facing residents. Maybe some time spent among the union members I have to meet every morning would cure him of his radical and radically wrong right-wing idea."Read More >
SWEENEY: DeCROCE STATEMENTS ON UNEMPLOYED 'APPALLING, YET NOT SURPRISING'
TRENTON - Following a roundtable discussion hosted this morning by the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney blasted Assembly Minority Leader Alex DeCroce for his comments that the state should cut unemployment benefits for out-of-work residents.
According to media reports, DeCroce said that current unemployment benefits, which are capped at $600 per week, are "too good for these people."
Sweeney released the following statement:
"New Jersey needs to focus on improving the economy and job creation, not scapegoating the unemployed. Assemblyman DeCroce's comments and position are appalling, yet not surprising from someone who two weeks ago admitted to the Wall Street Journal that his party had no jobs plan and that an economic growth agenda was 'on the backburner.'
"While Mr. DeCroce was busy talking in Woodbridge, Democrats were in Trenton busy leading committee hearings on nearly two-dozen bills to spark our economy and help the unemployed.
"Mr. DeCroce owes an apology, if not more, to the countless jobless residents who are just trying to survive these economic times and who would gladly exchange being on unemployment for a steady job. His comments show just how out of touch he is with reality and the state he lives in."Read More >

Breaking Prophecy News; Where the Dead Are Now, Part 3 (TPDR #462)
in Religion
PROPHECY HEADLINES: UK gears up for long mission against ISIS in Iraq | Israel vows strong response to continued Hamas attacks | Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and France meet on Ukraine | Earthquake swarm hits Iceland | Cameron warns ISIS could bring terror to streets of London
The Bible says in John 6:39: "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day."
PROPHECY BOOTCAMP: "Where the Dead Are Now (Part 3)" from Dr. Tim LaHaye
It is important to note that the story in Luke 16:19-31 is not a parable, but the record of a specific experience. Characters in parables are not given definite names but are identified as "a certain man," "a man," "a householder," and so on. This story includes names -- Abraham and Lazarus -- as Jesus relates the factual record of two men who lived and died (possibly just prior to the telling of the story). They both went to Hades, but not to the same part.
It appears from this passage that Hades is comprised of three compartments: Abraham's bosom, the great gulf fixed, and the place of torment. The most desirable compartment in Hades, picturesquely called Abraham's bosom or paradise, is a place of comfort. In Luke 16:25 Abraham says of Lazarus, "Now he is comforted." This would be the paradise of the Old Testament, to which the souls of the righteous dead went immediately after death...

Sharing the Gospel With Jews & Muslims
in Spirituality
What would possess someone, raised in a faith alien to Christianity to publically change his/her faith and risk the scorn and persecution from their former co-religionists? Money? Social standing? Certainly there've been cases like that. Benjamin Disraeli would never have become prime minister of Britain if his father Isaac had remained a Jew. In old Europe Jews would sometimes convert and join the state church to take advantage of financial and social benefits in wider society, even though in meant offending and scandalizing family and friends and cutting the ties that bind a man to his culture and heritage. In recent months, certain high-profile Muslim conversions to gospel faith have been well-publicized and done at great personal risk. This Thursday we discuss this higher motive for conversion: the motive of personal conviction without consideration of any worldly gain. Your host: Rev. Rick Anderson on "Jewish Roots", an Internet radio talk show at www.blogtalkradio.com/fougcrew . To call in with a question or comment: 347-324-5759.
IE ~ EP25: Russ Hinkle, Deist - God/No God **call in show*347.850.8018**
Deism is the belief that reason and observation of the natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of a Creator, accompanied with the rejection of revelation and authority as a source of religious knowledge. Deism gained prominence in the 17th and 18th centuries during the Age of Enlightenment—especially in Britain, France, Germany, and the United States—among intellectuals raised as Christians who believed in one god, but found fault with organized religion and did not believe in supernatural events such as miracles, the inerrancy of scriptures, or the Trinity.
Russ Hinkle - Deism Guru - will discuss his knowledge and belief on this topic. Strap on for an intense/controversial view regarding God and Religion. Russ will take calls - converse and/or debate this topic

Ben Forster Shares Enthusiasm Over Headlining JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Arena Tour
A first look at the talented cast of the new arena tour production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR was released earlier this week and the star of the show took to social media to share his enthusiasm.
Ben Forster, winner of the UK SUPERSTAR reality show competition, will once again portray the title role in this new production.
Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd essays the role of Judas in the new production, while Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams stars as Mary Magdelene.
Additionally, JC Chasez of *NSYNC will play Pontius Pilate, with Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten Lydon as King Herod.
Forster took to his Facebook account this weekend to write, "So excited to tell you all about the USA tour of Jesus Christ Superstar!! If you haven't seen already...!!! Yippee! Starts in June and will be playing 50 cities in the states! I feel so lucky! Hope your all great! Just had the busiest day of press ever! And now I'm off to see pippin! X"
Follow Ben Forster on Facebook here.
The official description of the new JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR arena tour is as follows: "Jesus Christ Superstar, the global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for over 40 years, is reimagined for the 21st century as an arena rock spectacular. The biggest ever North American arena tour of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's groundbreaking rock musical will hit the road this summer with an extraordinary cast of rock, pop and R&B superstars. The 50+ city tour kicks off in New Orleans at the Lakefront Arena on June 9, and stops in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and more, before culminating in Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Arena on August 17. Brandon Boyd, Grammy® nominated lead vocalist of rock band Incubus, is confirmed for the role of 'Judas Iscariot', Grammy® nominated *NSYNC vocalist, JC Chasez, will play 'Pontius Pilate', Grammy® Award winner and member of Destiny's Child, Michelle Williams, will take the female lead as 'Mary Magdalene', English singer-songwriter and lead singer in Public Image Ltd. (PiL) and Sex Pistols, John Rotten Lydon, will play 'King Herod' and introducing British actor and singer, Ben Forster, who won England's ITV Superstar competition in 2012 and played the lead role in the UK and Australian arena tours of Jesus Christ Superstar, will revive his role as 'Jesus.' With over 50 cast and musicians on stage this is one arena show that can't be missed! The North American leg comes on the heels of the wildly successful UK and Australian arena tours, which began in the UK in September 2012 and commenced in Australia in May 2013. The Times said "The show gets the right balance between the spectacular, the jokey and the sincere. The performances from the well-choreographed supporting cast are fine throughout. Honestly, it's enough to give rock opera a good name." The Evening Chronicle exclaimed, "the extravagance of the production, a flamboyant spectacle of acrobatics, dramatic flames and provocative pole dancing," and Liverpool Daily Post claimed, "Restored to its rock roots, the star-studded second coming of Jesus Christ Superstar is big, brash and bold..." and the Manchester Evening News stated, "from the very opening strains the pounding music, the huge and sophisticated video backdrops and pulsating energy from a talented ensemble cast make this a true spectacle."
