Jesus Christ Superstar

By Angela Ash

Set to wow audiences on its 50th-anniversary tour, Jesus Christ Superstar blends an iconic production with a modern performance that will definitely be remembered. If you've been waiting for a big, bold show that will completely overtake the senses, then you should get your tickets now!

With lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, you should already have high expectations. First set as a "rock opera" in the 70s, this revised, amplified version stays true to its roots, while also adding to its repertoire with stunning new experiences, including a lot of stage glitter and the attitude to go right along with it. 

A mesmerizing cast is put together for Jesus Christ Superstar, with mesmerizing performers who completely embody their roles and wear their characters like a second skin. This cast includes Aaron LaVigne, James Delisco Beeks, Jenna Rubaii, Alvin Crawford, Tommy Sherlock, Tyce Green and more.

With what can best be described as a high-energy, seemingly effortless performance, you'll see the differentiation made between the myth and the man. The stunning interior of the lovely Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts will fade softly into the distance, as Gethsemane is before you, complete with betrayal, love and the ultimate sacrifice.

It's easy to see how this soundtrack was the go-to album for an entire generation. You'll hear favorites such as "I Don't Know How to Love Him," "What's the Buzz," "Gethsemane" and "Superstar."

This performance is poignant, compelling and abundantly inspiring. Don't miss it!
