Reflections on Jesus Christ Superstar Mark Goodacre University of Birmingham, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Goodacre, Mark (1999) "Do You Think You're What They Say You Are? Reflections on Jesus Christ Superstar," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 3 : Iss. 2 , Article 2. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol3/iss2/2 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Do You Think You're What They Say You Are? Reflections on Jesus Christ Superstar Abstract Jesus Christ Superstar (dir. Norman Jewison, 1973) is a hybrid which, though influenced yb Jesus films, also transcends them. Its rock opera format and its focus on Holy Week make it congenial to the adaptation of the Gospels and its characterization of a plausible, non-stereotypical Jesus capable of change sets it apart from the traditional films and aligns it with The Last Temptation of Christ and Jesus of Montreal. It uses its depiction of Jesus as a means not of reverence but of interrogation, asking him questions by placing him in a context full of overtones of the culture of the early 1970s, English-speaking West, attempting to understand him by converting him into a pop-idol, with adoring groupies among whom Jesus struggles, out of context, in an alien culture that ultimately crushes him, crucifies him and leaves him behind.

    MASARYK UNIVERSITY Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S MUSICALS Diploma Thesis Brno 2009 Radka Adamová Supervisor: Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, PhD. 1 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ENTRY Adamová, Radka. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Musicals Brno: Masaryk University, Faculty of Education, Department of English Language and Literature, 2007. Diploma thesis supervisor Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, Ph. D. ANNOTATION This diploma thesis deals with British musical composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and his works. The first part of the thesis introduces Lloyd Webber’s biography, his close collaborators as well as his production company the Really Useful Group and description of all his works. The main part of the thesis is aimed at his musicals Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Jesus Christ Superstar , rather their origin and development, the main plot and their main characters that have many things in common. Both these musicals are based on topics from the Bible. The thesis also deals with the librettos and their translation into Czech. ANOTACE Diplomová práce se zabývá britským hudebním skladatelem Andrew Lloyd Webberem a jeho díly. První část práce seznamuje s Lloyd Webberovým životopisem, jeho blízkými spolupracovníky, stejně jako s jeho produkční společností Really Useful Group a popisem všech jeho děl. Hlavní část práce je zaměřena na muzikály Josef a jeho úžasný pestrobarevný plášť a Jesus Christ Superstar , přesněji řečeno jejich vznik a vývoj, hlavní dějovou linii a jejich hlavní postavy, které mají mnoho společného. Oba tyto muzikály jsou založeny na příbězích z Bible. Práce se také zabýva librety obou muzikálů a jejich překladem do češtiny. 2 I declare that I have worked on this thesis on my own and used only the sources listed in the Bibliography.

  • JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR (JCS Logo Here)
    RRCA MUSICAL THEATRE LOGO Proudly presents JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR (JCS logo here) Music by Lyrics by ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER TIM RICE JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is presented through and exclusive arrangement with R & H Theatricals, 1065 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 2400, New York, New York 10018 and Two Knights Rights Limited, www.rnhtheatricals.com April 27-29, 2006 Page 2 Show Synopsis It seems especially fitting that the first rock opera, created as a concept album at the end of the turbulent '60s, should have at its center a social and political rebel. Jesus' meteor-like rise in renown provides, as the title suggests, a parallel to contemporary celebrity worship. As His radical teachings are evermore embraced, Judas increasingly questions the enlightened motives of this new prophet, resulting in betrayal. Christ's final days are dramatized with emotional intensity, thought-provoking edge and explosive theatricality. Propelled by a stirring score, by turns driving and majestic, satirical and tender, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR illuminates the transcendent power of the human spirit with a passion that goes straight to the heart. Originally produced on Broadway by Robert Stigwood, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR opened on Broadway at the Mark Hellinger Theatre on October 12, 1971 playing for 720 performances.

  • Two Perspectives on the High Priest Joseph Caiaphas: Challenges for Religious Educators Presenting Jesus’ Passion
    TWO PERSPECTIVES ON THE HIGH PRIEST JOSEPH CAIAPHAS: CHALLENGES FOR RELIGIOUS EDUCATORS PRESENTING JESUS’ PASSION MAURICE RYAN Introduction Along with Pontius Pilate, the high priest Joseph Caiaphas moves to centre stage when the most dramatic events of the Christian story unfold – the arrest, interrogations and execution of Jesus of Nazareth. Despite his central role in the unfolding drama, the gospel authors present Caiaphas as a shadowy figure and offer little context which might assist readers to judge his character, motivations and intentions. His role is crucial to the unfolding drama, but his presence is muted in the gospel accounts. As a result, most Christians remain unaware and uninformed about Joseph Caiaphas. His name is not well known in the Christian story, especially when compared with Pontius Pilate who has attained greater recognition, in part because he is mentioned in the Church creeds while Caiaphas is not. His persona tends to be submerged among the general Temple leadership and Jewish opponents of Jesus. Caiaphas may indeed be their leader but the gospel authors tend to hide him among the crowd of Jesus’ aristocratic opponents. Notwithstanding this lack of information, medieval folklorists, novelists, film-makers, artists, scripture scholars and Christian preachers have rounded out his character, generated their own rationale to explain his decisions and presented Caiaphas as vengeful, jealous, self-serving and misguided. These characteristics of the key Jewish leader have profound implications for the way modern Christians understand Jesus within his Jewish culture. Contemporary understanding of the relationship between Jesus and Caiaphas also has implications for the course of relationships between modern Jews and Christians.

  • Christology in Film and Musical Drama
    CHRISTOLOGY IN FILM AND MUSICAL DRAMA PETER A HARSCH STEPHEN M BEALL, PHD MARCUS PLESTED, DPHIL MAY 2015 1 Jesus of Nazareth is a sufficiently complex character that there is an entire field of academic study devoted to His identity: Christology. This makes Him exceedingly difficult to portray in fictionalised adaptions, not to mention His religious import to numerous audience members. Nevertheless, attempts have been made, and controversy inevitably ensued. But were these portrayals even Christologically heretical, as commonly alleged, or instead orthodox? To answer this, we shall consider Martin Scorsese’s adaption of Nikos Kazantzakis’ The Last Temptation of Christ, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber & Sir Tim Rice’s Jesus Christ Superstar, Stephen Schwartz’ Godspell, and Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. All of these, except perhaps Gibson’s, are typically accused of portraying Jesus as predominately, or even solely, human. In order to evaluate these works’ orthodoxy, we must first define what orthodox Christology even is. To over simplify, Christology may be understood as a spectrum of views regarding Christ. On one end is the heresy of Docetism, that Christ is fully divine and not at all human. On the other end is the heresy of Ebionism, that Christ is fully human and not at all divine. The orthodox position, as defined by the Fourth Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon, lies in the middle of the spectrum: that Christ is “united in one Person [prosopon] and subsistence [hypostasis]”1 and that this “unity of Person…is to be understood as existing in both the natures”,2 with the two natures being “perfect in Godhead and perfect in manhood”.3 Where a work falls on this spectrum partially depends on how much emphasis is placed on Christ’s humanity (leans towards Ebionism) or Christ’s divinity (leans towards Docetism).
