Exploding onto the Mainstage is the groundbreaking theatrical masterpiece Jesus Christ Superstar by legendary writing team Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. This extraordinary rock opera highlights the struggles of Jesus of Nazareth and Judas Iscariot during the last week of Jesus's life. With a vibrant score of chart-topping hits like "Superstar" and "I Don't Know How to Love Him," Superstar is timeless and tremendously powerful.
I was blown away by the show! It was a nice modern rendition of this Iconic musical. Modern Day choreography, which was absolutely wonderful. A very simple stage which proved to be so effective. The actors were outstanding. The use of lighting was fascinating. Never a dull moment. The music and ensemble band was Perfection. Two thumbs up for sure.
I was so looking forward to this play as it was advertised as Broadway Production. However, the sound at the Sandander Performing Arts Center was terrible. As it was a musical, the lyrics tell the story but I couldn’t make out the words when the singers were singing in many of the numbers. For the cost of my seats, the overall experience was poor.
Amazing! Excellent singing, even actors playing instruments on stage (I mean, Ted Neely was awesome in the movie, but he wasn't also strumming on the guitar during Gethsemane like this actor did!) Excellent and simple staging and wonderful choreography, singing and performing.
I've seen several performances of this over the years, but this was the best! Wonderful talent and faithful to the music! Would see it again!
Everything was great, from checking in, dinner, show and final curtain.
The show Jesus Christ Superstar was great! I was jamming w/the music. The performers were ALL excellent!!!
You really need to be familiar with the story and characters to be able to follow it. There is no dialogue, only songs, and there was no program distributed.
Loved the show overall, I can't believe the amount of work related to just a one night performance. Standouts were the actors who portrayed Judas, Mary Magdelene, Caiaphas, as well as the featured female dancer. Terrific movers, dancers, singers, and actors - they really captured the essence of the story. The only disappointment was the actor portraying Jesus - his acting skills could not convey a sense of pathos or internal conflict , he had a thin, lightweight mid-range, and his falsetto was piercingly shrill. Alas, where has Ian Gillan gone ? I suggest that the production give the role to the actor portraying Peter, and swap Jesus into Peter's role .. I think the production would benefit. That said - I still loved the show - from those opening sinister guitar lines, right through till the end.
This show was simply amazing. Cast was very talented. Magnificent singing, music, and choreography. You will not be disappointed.
Caught the show at The Hershey Theater 3/24, evening show. Little problems with the Hi Stuff but def good enough to get a Live 5. Third show in two days. Show streamed for the most part without a hitch. Tech glitch held up about 5 minutes near the end. The troupe was outstanding. Allot of Talent on the Stage! SRO, Standing Ovations and an Incredible Evening! Definitely will go again!
