Jesus Christ Superstar
Jesus Christ Superstar was the first major commercial success by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, preceding Evita, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera. You can clearly hear in the music that Woodstock wasn’t all that long ago. Jesus Christ Superstar spent weeks in the British charts as a double LP before the authors adapted the work for the stage and brought it to Broadway. The 1973 Hollywood film did its part to turn the show – despite some protests from conservative Christian groups – into one of the most successful works of the 20th century.
The musical portrays the final seven days of Jesus of Nazareth, loosely based on the Bible. However, rather than presenting a traditional Passion story, it tells a story about revolution, oppression, greed, and, of course, peace and love.
