Jesus Christ Superstar
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 more than 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, Jesus Christ 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.
Boston Conservatory at Berklee’s production is directed by Dawn Simmons with music direction by David Coleman.
This performance has been selected as part of Boston Conservatory at Berklee’s fall 2024 Center Stage collection.
