Star Rating: *****

This is something else. Canadian actor Rick Miller's high-octane one-man look at Jesus is outrageous, intelligent, funny, satirical, reverent and irreverent. A couple of people walked out during the show I attended. What Jesus and Miller have in common is that they make you think about what you believe or don't believe.

Using the liturgy of the Mass as framework, Miller takes the audience on a rocky theological ride which is both anarchic and meditative. He plays several different characters who are obsessed with Jesus: a Jewish academic, a foul-mouthed, break-dancing American revivalist preacher, a syrupy pastoral attendant on an Air Jesus flight to Jerusalem, and a fake Jesus who dispenses corny wisdom - "Remember to do your Pilates every day" - while engaging in witty badinage with the audience.

The fast-moving show uses video, live filming and clever lighting to excellent effect. One fantastic sequence is the Last Supper, in which Miller uses a number of plastic dolls - including Jesus, the Tin Man, Darth Vader and George W Bush. He then launches into a stunning parody of Gesthemene from Jesus Christ Superstar. There are also some profoundly moving passages in the show.

Whether you've actually been in the company of Jesus - and which particular Jesus is precisely the question at the heart of the show - is one thing, but you certainly know you've been in the company of Rick Miller. He sings beautifully, dances well and seeks to subvert whatever hand-me-down assumptions you have about the man from Nazareth who, 2000 years after his death, continues to challenge and inspire. Go see.
