Jesus Christ Superstar, The Musical in Theater – 2022-2023 Performance Schedule

Long before there was The Book of Mormon, 2011’s raunchy and religious musical made by the creators of South Park… there was Jesus Christ Superstar. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1971 masterpiece is known as one of the most famously controversial musicals. And trust us when we say that it’s a significant compliment. The show was way ahead of its time, interpreting the psychology of Jesus, Judas, and other religious icons amidst a triumphant rock opera.

Jesus Christ Superstar faced extreme criticism in its early years, to the point where it had to be released as a concept album first due to producers being unable to get funding for the show. However, it eventually became a global sensation grossing millions of dollars and earning a spot as the second-longest-running West End musical, only after Cats. These days, it’s playing in dozens of major cities in 2023 and 2023. You can see Jesus Christ Superstar in Orlando, FL, Memphis, TN, Fort Worth, TX, Chicago, IL, New Orleans, LA, and more!

Those with a basic knowledge of Western religion will be familiar with the plot of Jesus Christ Superstar. The musical tells the story of the last seven days of Jesus Christ’s life, touching on Judas Iscariot’s betrayal, the legendary Last Supper, and the centuries-old concepts of greed and punishment. Certain scenes will make you uncomfortable; there’s no doubt about it, but in a way that makes you contemplate the idea of religion and how it’s evolved over the years.

We’re talking about centuries in the case of the actual events in Jesus Christ Superstar and decades when discussing the musical’s impact since its opening. It’s aged surprisingly well, especially considering the hard-hitting musical numbers that inspired countless other rock operas. “This Jesus Must Die,” “Heaven on Their Minds,” “Everything’s Alright,” and “Hosanna” are still sung in auditions by theatre kids worldwide without any eyebrow raises. And that’s a true testament to the legacy of Jesus Christ Superstar. 
Even if you’ve seen the 1973 film adaptation, you can’t compete with an onstage rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar. It’s profoundly moving and powerful for both religious and non-spiritual viewers, and you’ll be singing these rock dramas for years to come.
