The Conspirators' JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR DO-IT-YOURSELF MESSIAH COMPLEX is Coming to The Charnel House
Join The Conspirators for the return of The Jesus Christ Superstar Do-It-Yourself Messiah Complex, everybody's favorite tribute to the album version of Jesus Christ Superstar. Curated by Conspirators Artistic Director (and JCS aficionado) Wm. Bullion and performed by a diverse congregation of artists, JCSDIYMC will play for one night only, Sunday, April 12 2020 AD, at The Charnel House, 3421 W. Fullerton (at Kimball) in Chicago. Doors open at 7PM and the show begins at 7:30PM.
The Jesus Christ Superstar Do-It-Yourself Messiah Complex is a multi-disciplinary gathering of artists and enthusiasts enjoying and paying tribute to the ALBUM version of Jesus Christ Superstar. The album tracks will be performed/played IN ORDER through the evening, and the styles are eclectic - burlesque, drag, karaoke, serious, funny, modern, classical, slick, and/or slapdash - to form an evening that is part salon, part Vaudeville, part sing-along, and all unpredictable. Confirmed acts include the Clamor & Lace Noise Brigade, the Vaudettes, and Cryptid Kid.
Reservations are recommended, suggested dress code is Biblical Glam, and singing along is strictly encouraged.

At the door, $10 (suggested donation; we'll accept more!)
