Synopsis:
Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice that presents a contemporary, sung-through retelling of the final seven days of Jesus’ life. In their own words, “the musical is a more dramatic retelling of the last days of Jesus Christ’s life, homing in on his personal conflicts. Most notably, JCS is told through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Judas, a once-loyal disciple of Jesus, has become frustrated with his leader’s growing fame whilst the plight of Jerusalem’s less fortunate remains ignored.” It explores the political and personal conflicts between Jesus, his disciples, Judas, and the Roman authorities, ending with the crucifixion.
