Auditions for JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Tim Rice

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.
