Jesus Christ Superstar at Repertory East Playhouse

Before the Phantom lurked, or Evita encouraged Argentina not to cry, or Cats prowled the stage, it was Jesus Christ Superstar that got the world humming the unforgettable songs of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice. A smash hit when it debuted on Broadway in 1971, Jesus Christ Superstar retells the last seven days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth through the eyes of his betrayer, Judas Iscariot. Chart-topping songs such as "Everything's Alright," "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and the high-octane title number dramatically highlight the struggles of Jesus' final days before his crucifixion and ultimate redemption. This righteous rock musical can be on the stage of the Repertory East Playhouse.
