Jesus Christ Superstar

Producción

Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus Christ Superstar is a 1971 sung-through rock opera featuring music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. Loosely based on the Gospel accounts of the Passion, the production interprets the psychology of Jesus and other characters, with much of the plot centered on Judas and his disillusionment with the direction of Jesus' ministry. Contemporary attitudes, sensibilities, slang, and ironic allusions to modern life pervade the lyrics during political events, resulting in stage and film productions that feature intentional anachronisms.
