JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Tim Rice

Playhouse on the Square – April 24 – May 17, 2026

Jesus Christ Superstar tells the story of the last week of Jesus’ life from a different perspective
by focusing on the imaginative view of Judas Iscariot. Judas’ anxiety of religious and
governmental backlash grows as fast as Jesus’ popularity. He struggles with facing the fears of the consequences of Jesus’ movement which ultimately lead to the arrest and crucifixion of the
proclaimed Son of God. Set during the political turmoil in Jerusalem, this show addresses the
complexities of the relationships of Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, and the other disciples.
