I've always wanted to cast Jesus as a big woman, perhaps a black woman. Think Aretha Franklin.
The thing is, you can also split the Judas/JtB role--they don't have to be played by the same person. I figure sometime before "All for the Best" is when that track becomes Judas, because of the mordant nature of that song. So maybe have a guy sing "Prepare Ye..." and a girl take over the track at some point. I also can think of women who can approximate that lyric tenor sound pretty convincingly.
