About

Jesus Christ Superstar is a sung-through rock opera composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice. The work tells the story of Jesus Christ's final week from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, weaving Gospel accounts with contemporary sensibilities and rock-influenced music. First released as a concept album in 1970 and debuting on Broadway in 1971, the musical has remained a cultural phenomenon for over 50 years, continuously revived on stages worldwide and recently experiencing significant renaissance with major productions in London, on Broadway, and across Europe.
