Jesus Christ Su-erstur: Svnopsis and Character Breakdown Svnopsis A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Supersrar follows the last week of Jesus Christ's life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.

Judas believes in Jesus's teaching but has started to grow weary of those coming after him and his followers. The role requires an actor that can show Frustration, Yearning, Weakness, Dismay and Pessimism, often at the same time.

The role requires an actor that can show Authority, Rage, Fragility, and Fear. Kine Herod (Hish Baritone, C#3-G4 ) is the King of Galilee; Jesus is brought to him for judgment after first being taken to Pilate. Herod is a comedic role. He starts very nonchalant and as his song progresses he becomes more irritated when he doesn't get his way. Caiaohas (Low Bass, C#2-F4l is one of the main antagonists of the show. High priest who sees Jesus as a threat to the nation. He is in a man in power who fears losing that power to Jesus. This role requires an actor that can show Anger, Power, and Angst.

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.

  • There's a New Game in Winnipeg and It's Ready for a Match Ethereal Fant
    There’s A New Game in Winnipeg and It’s Ready for a Match Ethereal Fantazy Productions is thrilled to present the Western Canadian premiere of the British and original version of Chess, the Musical, as part of the 2015 Winnipeg Fringe Festival. Chess develops the ancient and distinguished game of chess into a metaphor for romantic rivalries and US-Soviet political tensions during the Cold War. The game is set when a love triangle grows between two world renowned chess grandmasters- the self-absorbed American, the passionate Russian- and Florence, the pawn between these, who manages one yet falls in love with other, tearing apart alliances and families. Based on the real life world chess championship entitled “Match of the Century”, Fischer vs. Korchnoi, Chess features an incredibly talented cast and a monumental rock score by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (Mamma Mia), formerly part of ABBA, and lyrics by notorious Tim Rice (Aida, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar) that has politicians, lovers and players making their moves to its pulse in this Winnipeg premiere that will take your from Italy to Thailand and will show you that there’s nothing black and white about this game except the game board.

  • 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.
