Lyrics by: Tim Rice
The renowned rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice tells the story of the final days of Jesus Christ, brought to life with an electrifying rock score. Experience a timeless tale of betrayal, love, and sacrifice in a show that has captivated audiences for decades.
What's the buzz? The first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage, "Jesus Christ Superstar" has wowed audiences for over 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, "Jesus Christ Superstar" follows the last week of Jesus Christ's life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.
The iconic 1970s rock score contains such well-known numbers as "Superstar," "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and "Gethsemane." A true global phenomenon, "Jesus Christ Superstar" continues to touch new generations of audiences and performers.
