Protagonist of the story, leader of the twelve Apostles, and son of God, Messiah and King of the Jews. This text, Rice and Lloyd Webber's show is interested in Jesus as Messiah and man both, and not only his spiritual ministry, but also his personal experience and political role in the world.
Tenor- One of the twelve apostles of Jesus; concerned for the poor and for the consequences of Jesus' fame. A tragic figure, a conflicted man, and a powerfully passionate guy. Most certainly not a bad guy he's as desirous of being pure as Jesus is, and believes he is doing the right thing
Mezzo-Soprano- A female follower of Jesus who finds herself falling in love with him. She's a prostitute, and she tries in her way to care for Jesus, so there is tenderness, and desire, but this is a woman of great strength.

Tenor - One of Jesus' 12 apostles; urges Jesus to lead his followers into battle against the Romans.
