Female actors will also be considered for male roles. Sheet music or digital files only please, no a capella or CD auditions will be permitted. An accompanist will be provided. Please schedule a reserved audition time slot by emailing the address below and bring a headshot and resume. Callbacks will be by invitation only. Not all potential cast members will be called back. What began as a concept album, Jesus Christ Superstar morphed into an international sensation. Over fifty years later, the musical still excites audiences and actors alike with its challenging vocals and powerful story. Based loosely on the Gospels account of the final days of Jesus Christ, the musical is as much a retelling of these last days as it is an examination of the character of Judas, the dangers of celebrity, and the pitfalls of fame.
