Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus Christ Superstar is a revelation. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber have spent their careers exploring complex and controversial personalities, and Jesus Christ Superstar may be their most powerful achievement: examining the final days of Jesus of Nazareth, the hero of the New Testament. Rice and Webber explore the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, and the uncompromising political powers of Jerusalem and the Roman Empire. The characters are given their humanity and treated with contemporary sensibility and enlightened compassion.
