Jesus Christ Superstar
By Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice
Directed by G.J. Clayburn
- May 9-24, 2003
- Lakeville, Minnesota
The Musical
This one rocks. For over thirty years, audiences the world over have loved this compelling “rock opera” depicting the last week in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Seen through the eyes of the disillusioned disciple Judas, Jesus Christ Superstar tells its story with the kind of smart musical exuberance that marks the best of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s work. Join us as we close our fifth season in true Chameleon style - Jesus Christ Superstar is audacious, provocative, life-affirming theatre.
Jesus’ meteor-like rise in renown provides, as the title suggests, a parallel to contemporary celebrity worship. As His radical teachings are evermore embraced, Judas increasingly questions the enlightened motives of this new prophet, resulting in betrayal. Christ’s final days are dramatized with emotional intensity, thought-provoking edge and explosive theatricality. Propelled by a stirring score, by turns driving and majestic, satirical and tender, Jesus Christ Superstar illuminates the transcendent power of the human spirit with a passion that goes straight to the heart.
Pit Orchestra
I am a member of the pit orchestra for this performance series, and all I can say is I am blown away by the quality of the musical performances by the stage actors! This is worth seeing!
(Note: If you want to come and hear me play in the pit, I am not performing on the 15th or the 23rd - but I will be at all five other performances!)
