JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Elder Conservatorium of Music Scott Theatre Musical Written By: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice Directed By: George Torbay Presented by the 2024 Graduating Class and first year students of Elder Conservatorium Music Theatre 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 centre 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.
