Jesus Christ Superstar

Arizona Repertory Theatre

Jesus Christ Superstar

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Lyrics by Tim Rice
— Directed by Christie Kerr
November 12 — December 3, 2023 • Tornabene Theatre

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, 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, Superstar continues to touch new generations of audiences and performers.

Free tickets to this production are available for all college and high school students. For details, visit azart.fyi/freetftvtix.
