Jesus Christ Superstar

Description

This ain't your grandfather's rock opera. The 50th anniversary tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's take on Jesus' last days sports a contemporary look--including a clean-shaven Christ (Aaron LaVigne)--that uses updated production values to crank up the spectacle and appeal to today's audiences. The story, told from the perspective of Judas (James Delisco Beeks), is still as thought-provoking as it was in 1970, positing that the apostle's betrayal was not all about the Pontiuses.
