CCM’s musical theatre starts of tomorrow present the 1970s rock opera on Thursday, Feb. 22 through Sunday, March 4, 2018. Tickets available through the CCM Box Office.

The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music’s production of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR opens at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 22 in Patricia Corbett Theater. Directed by Diane Lala with musical direction by Roger Grodsky, the 1970s rock opera features an iconic score with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice.

A timeless work that has captured audiences for over 40 years, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR’s rock score contains such well-known numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “Gethsemane.” The musical is based on the last week of Jesus’ life. Set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events, the story is told through the eyes of Jesus’ betrayer, Judas.

“While this story took place in biblical times, its depiction of people uniting behind a movement could easily apply to the social and political movements of today,” Lala says.

Lala has “integrated the old and the new” in CCM’s production of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR— costumes inspired by biblical times and by the malls of today, scenic elements and props representing different periods such as characters using stone goblets as well as iPhones.

“This is a story for all times,” Lala says. “It asks the question: Would you die for a people and an ideology that you believed in with your whole heart?”

CCM’s musical theatre stars of tomorrow present JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR on Feb. 22-25 and Feb. 28-March 4, 2018 in Patricia Corbett Theater. Complete event information is below.
