Musical instruments and composers are forbidden, and rock music is all but unknown.
With a young, cohesive and full of energy cast, the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar gets a revival in São Paulo, in a version with high levels of emotion, watching the last days of Jesus.

The portuguese version was made by Luciano Andreys and Bianca Tadini. Wellington Nogueira as Herod and Fred Silveira as Pilate also deserve attention. Both of them are great in their roles.
