FAIRWINDS Broadway in Orlando Presents

Jesus Christ Superstar

Tuesday-Sunday, June 7-12, 2022 | Walt Disney Theater | Show times vary

An album that inspired a REVOLUTION.

A REVELATION that changed the world.

A REINVENTION for this millennium.

Jesus Christ Superstar is an iconic musical phenomenon with a world-wide fan base. In celebration of its 50th Anniversary, a new mesmerizing production comes to North America. Originally staged by London's Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and helmed by acclaimed director Timothy Sheader (Crazy for You, Into the Woods) and award-winning choreographer Drew McOnie (King Kong, Strictly Ballroom), this production won the 2017 Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival garnering unprecedented reviews and accolades. Appealing to both theater audiences and concert music fans, this production pays tribute to the historic 1971 Billboard Album of the Year while creating a modern, theatrical world that is uniquely fresh and inspiring.

Featuring award-winning music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, Jesus Christ Superstar is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary series of events during the final weeks in the life of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes of Judas. Reflecting the rock roots that defined a generation, the legendary score includes 'I Don't Know How to Love Him', 'Gethsemane' and 'Superstar'.

Orlando Metropolitan Ballet Academy Presents

Coppélia Ballet Suite

Friday, June 10, 2022 | Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater | 7 p.m.

Orlando Metropolitan Ballet's Academy and Youth Studio Company, under the direction of Laura Torres, are more than happy to bring you this suite of Coppélia in two short acts, which will be lead by Madison Taberham as Swanilda/Coppélia.

One word to describe Coppélia would be "fun," this ballet is an innocent love triangle that is really not a triangle, because Coppélia is in fact a lifelike mechanical doll able to fool villagers into believing she is alive, including Franz, Swanilda's fiancée. This story, then, is really about Swanilda discovering that Coppélia is not real and having fun in the way of revealing the truth to everyone else, not before playing with Dr. Coppélius' feelings and making him now believe his beloved creation is alive, as Swanilda dressed up as Coppélia and took her place in the house.
