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.
