Jesus Christ Superstar at Riverside
April 16 11:15 am | Riverside Theater for the Performing Arts
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.” Witness the electrifying story of love, betrayal, and redemption as it’s never been told before.
Date: April 16. Cost: $81.00.
Lunch is included in your ticket. Please arrive by 11:15 in the main room at Riverside.
