Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at The Orpheum Theatre Memphis
by AniKatrina Fageol - Jun 30, 2022

What did our critic think of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at The Orpheum Theatre Memphis? Andrew Lloyd-Webber fans can certainly appreciate the 2021-2022 Orpheum season! Not long after Cats comes Jesus Christ Superstar, a powerful rock musical that centers around the last days of Jesus Christ. The show is actually celebrating its 50th anniversary and brings a completetly different dynamic to the Orpheum stage.

by Nicole Ackman - Jun 19, 2022

When JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR first premiered in 1972, it was banned by the BBC for being “sacrilegious.” The musical, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, imagines the last week in the life of Jesus Christ in the form of a sung-through rock opera. The tour currently at DPAC plays into the rock side of the musical. 
BWW Review: Even Refreshed for its 50th Anniversary, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Remains Dated & Divisive " Dr. Phillips Center
by Aaron Wallace - Jun 9, 2022

What did our critic think of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Dr. Phillips Center?

BWW Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Rocks the Audience With Songs and Sparkles
by Emily Short - Apr 8, 2022

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR tells the story of Judas’s betrayal of Jesus Christ, but it’s not the same narrative you might have heard. This inventive musical humanizes both characters and invites the audience to witness their thoughts and experiences behind closed doors, putting their flaws and triumphs on display.

While it remained true to the original version, some contemporary tweaks brought it to a new level of greatness.
