In an interview with Tim Rice, he said that they wanted to tell the story from the point of view of why Judas did what he did.

It makes Judas out as someone who is more activist in helping the poor and less interested in the "message."

Woman, your fine ointment, brand new and expensive, should have been saved for the poor. People who are hungry, people who are starving, matter more than your feet and hair.

In an interview with Tim Rice, he said that they wanted to tell the story from the point of view of why Judas did what he did.

Jesus of Nazareth portrayed Judas as a zealot who thought Jesus was the key to throwing off Rome. He thought if the Priests only understood Jesus they would accept Him and crown Him king. People are always trying to excuse Judas. The Gospel simply paints him as an opportunistic thief.

Shalom.
