Purchase your tickets HERE.
This timeless rock opera follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life as seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary, his disciples, and those in power. This iconic 1970's rock score contains such well-known songs as “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “Gethsemane.” A true global phenomenon that has been wowing audiences for 50 years! Our production will be one to remember!
ACT of CT’s Artistic Director Daniel C. Levine says, “Our production will be unlike any other JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR that you have ever seen. I’ve worked on many productions of this show, including the 2000 Tony Nominated Broadway revival, and I believe that our upcoming version will be one of the best yet!”
