Despite having not touring Perth since 2013, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is still familiar to many, with many versions since its original release. Indeed, the stunning soundtrack precedes the musical, showing how it can stand alone and indeed gives many a fair idea of the musical without having to step foot in a theatre. What was originally conceived as a rock opera enjoys an updated vision that more suits the modern audience, with a stunning show that leans more into performance and rock music.

An explosive 90-minute sung-through Rock Opera written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Tim Rice, took the Carol Morsani Hall by storm Tuesday evening. This reimagined 50th Anniversary Tour, is the story loosely based on the Gospels’ accounts of the Passion. It works to interpret the psychology of Jesus, while much of the story’s plot centers on Judas’ disdain for how Jesus is leading his disciples. The rock opera was initially unable to attain funding, so Webber and composers released the idea as a concept album. Garnering much success, which led to the eventual Broadway stage debut in 1971. Some nine years later the musical had grossed more than $237 million worldwide. It soon became the longest-running West End musical in London, running for 8 years between 1972-1980, and was soon bested by Cats in 1989.
