JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR AUDITIONS

Jesus Christ Superstar Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lyrics by Tim Rice Director: Peter Clark Musical Director: Matt Penny By arrangement with: The Really Useful Group/Origin Theatrical Since its Broadway debut over 30 years ago, audiences the world over have loved this compelling rock opera depicting the last seven days in the life of Jesus Christ from the perspective of the traitorous apostle Judas. Set against a backdrop of civic unrest, at the heart of this story is a gentle messiah whose message of peace and tolerance is lost amidst voices clamoring for a warrior king to lead his people out from under the iron fist of the Romans. As observers on all sides grow increasingly wary of a possible insurrection, the seeds of doubt and betrayal are sown. Webber and Rice’s stunning musical score offers an unflinching, moving, and provocative examination of the role of human nature in the ensuing turn of events. A strong cast of actors, singers and dancers is required for this timeless musical supported by a full rock band.
