Lyrics: Tim Rice Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber
It seems especially fitting that the first rock opera, created as a concept album at the end of the turbulent '60s, should
have at its center a social and political rebel. Jesus' meteor-like rise in renown provides, as the title suggests, a parallel
to contemporary celebrity worship. As his radical teachings are evermore embraced, Judas increasingly questions the enlightened
motives of this new prophet, resulting in betrayal. Christ's final days are dramatized with emotional intensity, thought-provoking
edge and explosive theatricality. Propelled by a stirring score, by turns driving and majestic, satirical and tender, JESUS
CHRIST SUPERSTAR illuminates the transcendent power of the human spirit with a passion that goes straight to the heart.
Please join us for the Performance on Saturday, June 27th at 7:00 p.m. in our Outdoor Amphitheatre.
