If you live near any of the 29 cities still slated to host the 50th anniversary tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, then buy your tickets now. It is a spectacular show, and it now has earned its place as a cultural touchstone on many levels.
On Friday, April 1, I had the pleasure of seeing the ACT of CT’s unique adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. This 1971 musical that is primarily told through music with lyrics by Tim Rice has been redesigned and reinterpreted by the director, Daniel C. Levine who has incorporated elements of The Handmaid’s Tale into this adaptation.
