Jesus Christ Superstar (Touring) Tickets

This is the seventh time I’ve seen a performance of JCSS. I was disappointed to see that the cast had changed from the touring cast a few years back when I booked my tickets, but it’s my favorite show so I decided to go anyway. I’m so glad I did! It was AMAZING. Every performer was awesome and, while I’ve always loved the lead dancer, this is the first time I’ve ever gotten chills. She was so incredible! I was leaving to go out of the country the next day or I would have gone to see it again. Definitely worth seeing!!

We knew this was a rock opera and were familiar with two of the songs. Our seats were center balcony, 2nd row at National Theater in Washington DC. The acoustics were awful. We could not understand the lyrics. Luckily we knew the "story."It seemed as if the singing was all shouting except for the softer songs. The music was far too loud drowning out the shouting singers. We asked others seated in the balcony area and they all agreed it was impossible to figure out the lyrics and that the volume was way too loud. This was $200 and 4 hours we will never get back. I will think long and hard before putting out that kind of money and time for ANY show at the National Theater and I do NOT think that the touring group did justice to the rock opera - AT ALL. I am being generous with a two star review.

Just an amazing experience. From the performance to the story line. I have seen this show before and I know the words to all the songs from my parents playing it way back as a kid but I love the different ending. Well, we all know THE ending but with forgiveness. I always felt Judas was almost "set up"and I always believed that is what happens with Judas' choice but to see it was wonderful. Thank you. Great use of the cross too.

I recomend to everybody go to the theatre . 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I've been a Jesus Christ Superstar fan since I was a kid (1980s -ish). This version missed every mark. Set was pretty good. The characters seemed like they were all singing solos. Never developed relationships and completely missed the emphasis on major story lines. Jesus and Mary Magdelene seemed like polite acquaintances at best. I guess the blame should fall on the director. I've seen much better versions performed at the community theatre level.

I have seen this musical many times and love it. This production was way too loud and frenetic for me. The music overshadowed the lyrics of the songs and the constant movement of the “crowd” was distracting. I did think the staging was very innovative and interesting and the actors were very good.

The voices were good. However, they should have been dressed in year 33 dress. Also some things were added that made no sense - Jesus and Peter with a guitar? Why?

Jack Hopewell who played Jesus Christ had a phenomenal voice and range and was a superstar in my opinion.

Modernized, interesting staging and costumes. The music was true to the original. The actors who played Judas and Mary Magdalen had excellent voices. The voice of the actor who played Jesus seemed a bit weaker or softer than usual, but that may have been an attempt to make him appear calm and unassuming. The dancers added an interesting flavor, especially the lead woman who opened the show and had several solo parts. Overall, we enjoyed the show very much.

This was so well cast and performed that it’s the best version I’ve seen. Performances were outstanding!
