About Jesus Christ Superstar
In 1971, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's latest musical debuted on Broadway and the world of musical theater was never the same again. A bombastic rock opera based on the Gospels, Jesus Christ Superstar portrays the last week of Jesus' life, heavily focusing on his relationship with Judas Iscariot. Imbued with modern sensibilities and contemporary political and social themes, this show is about a very human Jesus Christ, one who must reckon with his impending death.
Aside from cleverly bringing the Passion into the 20th Century, Jesus Christ Superstar of course boasts one of Lloyd Webber's most exuberant and exciting scores, including the now classic numbers 'Superstar and 'I Don't Know How to Love Him'. As both a vital part of Broadway history and a top-draw musical, this show is a must-see!

BEST ONE EVER
My fifth time seeing this show over the years. It really was a true rock opera. The music and the lyrics of course amazing but something new was added to this version. Dancing was incredible. They had so much energy, so creative in every way. Was totally surprised and in awe of the choreography. Each song was perfectly matched to the performer’s voice. If you are a fan, please don’t miss this show. It is a triple WOW!! ... Read more

The Superstar We Need Right Now
I was in fifth grade when I got the album from the Columbia Record Club. My mom let me stay home from school the next day and I played it non-stop, and kept playing it, over and over, eventually wearing it out.
I'm not particularly religious, but I was drawn to the politics of Jesus's struggle against the powers that be on behalf of the poor and downtrodden.
The new iteration captures this beautifully, updating the story with a high energy modern vibe that kept everything I loved about the album, but made it infinitely more accessible to my teenage daughters.
The vocals were very solid - led, of course, by Judas. But Jesus had some wonderful moments, Mary Magdalene was perfect and Caiaphas was stunning.
The band was wonderful, the opening guitar riff brought down the house, and the dancers were mesmerizing. Honestly can't think of a time that a dancer brought me to tears, but the lead dancer in this production did just that.
Great play, great performance, great night. ... Read more
