What’s the buzz? The first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. 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, Superstar 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. 

This production is produced as part of the Weitzenhoffer School of Musical Theatre at the University of Oklahoma's Downtown Series. OU Musical Theatre's Downtown Series gives students the opportunity to work in professional theaters outside of campus. Jesus Christ Superstar will be at the Myriad Gardens Water Stage and Plaza in Oklahoma City on March 30, 31, April 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m.
