It seems especially fitting that the first rock opera, created as a concept album at the end of the turbulent '60s, should have at its center a social and political rebel. 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.

Seating: House opens 30 minutes prior to show time. Seating is open, in other words, the early bird gets the better worm. We do not, however, oversell performances, so if you have a ticket, you will have a seat. Check the website for dinner and show package prices and for further details on the meal package with Saffire Restaurant.

        I have not seen this play/movie in years. This cast did a wonderful job with the wide range of vocal difficult songs. The musicians are the best. Boiler Room always makes the small stage work. Good... Expand
