About the Story
The story begins with a monologue from Judas Iscariot, the apostle who ultimately betrays Jesus. Judas is concerned that the movement that’s following Jesus is getting too large as they are about to converge on Jerusalem, and Judas’ main fear is that there will be consequences for this rising popularity.
Jesus is seen as extremely human in this production, and he grows annoyed by his followers’ constant questions as they proceed towards Jerusalem. Mary Magdalene appears as well, and she is the comforting force for Jesus as he presses on in his revolution.
Much as the story appears in the Bible, word of Jesus and his followers reaches the high priests, and they become concerned with Jesus’ ability to form factions and garner a following that could bring the high priests’ power into question. The high priests decide to do something about it.
Judas decides to cooperate with the high priests in turning Jesus in to them, and he does so under a great cloud of shame. Judas expresses his guilt both to the high priests and to God in moments of prayer, but none of these attempts at reconciliation are enough for Judas to feel absolved from his guilt. As a result, Judas hangs himself.
Jesus Christ Superstar tickets, however, are much more than just a reenactment of the stories of the Bible. There are several examples of modern slang present in both the lyrics and the dialogue, and there are also several subtle references to modern-day political movements. Webber and Rice make the attempt to “modernize” the story of the crucifixion, and they pull it off with aplomb.
If you’ve never seen an Andrew Lloyd Webber play, and you’ve never secured Jesus Christ Superstar tickets, you’re missing out on an entirely new way of looking at the age-old biblical tales that have fascinated scholars, worshippers and now thespians for many, many years.
