Jesus Christ Superstar tells the story of Jesus Christ in the final days leading up to his crucifixion. A rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, the musical has no spoken dialogue and is sometimes considered a modern rock-opera. Loosely based on the Gospels, Superstar focuses on the personal conflicts between Jesus, his disciples, the people of Israel, and the leadership of Rome. The musical focuses on both Judasâ struggle making the decision to betray Jesus and Jesusâ human psychology, fear, and anger in understanding and accepting his role as both leader and martyr. The show is a product of its era, permeated with 1970âs rock, gospel, folk and funk themes, modern language and colloquialisms, and high-energy dance numbers.
This production will be told through the lens of a swirling collage of modernistic images and rock music forming a Rock-N-Roll Passion Play in a contemporary, symbolic and timeless setting reflective of our society's idolization of messianic personalities and power struggles.
