Jesus Christ Superstar

Tacoma Little Theatre
210 North I Street Tacoma

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' meteoric rise provides 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 in Jesus Christ Superstar. Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterpiece fills the Tacoma Little Theatre with a stirring score and a passion that goes straight to the heart.
