Jesus Christ Superstar exploded onto the scene in 1971 and changed the world of musical theatre forever. Ted Neeley, who originally starred as Jesus in the film version, gives a compelling performance in this farewell tour. And Corey Glover, best known as the lead singer of the platinum-selling band "Living Colour", is joining Neeley in the role of Judas. Filled with awesome excitement, power, passion and a score of amazing songs, Jesus Christ Superstar has an enduring relevance and deep emotional pull.
The first masterpiece from the legendary writing team of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jesus Christ Superstar is a "remarkably accomplished work of musical theatre whose innovations can only now be fully appreciated." Telling the story of the last days of Christ from the point of view of Judas, Jesus Christ Superstar asks the question- If Jesus Christ were among us right now, what would happen to him? The pacing is lightning-quick, as Jesus and his apostles are caught up in a volatile whirlwind. The cast is exemplary and the music pulsing. With set designs that are literally a breathtaking visual metaphor and lighting that can only be described as ingenious, Jesus Christ Superstar is a "masterful blend of showmanship and conscience."
