JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR : Timeless and for our Time

Jesus Christ Superstar, the groundbreaking theatrical masterpiece by legendary writing team Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, is coming to The Mission Theatre in Fallbrook on March 25 for 9 performances.  The first collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be performed on the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar is one of the most popular and enduring works ever created for the musical theatre. Featuring such notable songs as “Superstar”, “Everything’s Alright” and “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”, Jesus Christ Superstar earned five TONY nominations.

Set in one act, Jesus Christ Superstar tells the story of the final seven days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.  Superstar dramatizes Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, the unrest caused by his preaching and popularity, his betrayal by Judas, the trial before Pontius Pilate, and his ultimate crucifixion. Perpetually changing the face of musical theatre, Jesus Christ Superstar will leave audiences captivated by its power. As relevant and timeless as ever, Jesus Christ Superstar, the rock opera vision of “the greatest story ever told,” is perhaps more potent in today’s troubled world than when it was first produced. Now, for the new millennium, this magnificent story comes once again vividly to the stage in an unforgettable performance.
