Jesus Christ Superstar

Tim Rice / Andrew Lloyd Webber

What's the buzz? The first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ's life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.

This performance will emphasize storytelling through music and dance rather than focussing on the religious elements of the narrative. It will feature a dance-centric presentation, with dancers embodying the characters and scenes while vocalists convey the story through song.
