Jesus Christ
Superstar is a 1970 rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics
by Tim Rice. The musical started as a rock opera concept recording before its
first staging on Broadway in 1971. The musical is loosely based on the Gospels'
accounts of the last week of Jesus' life, beginning with the preparation for
the arrival of Jesus and his disciples in Jerusalem and ending with the
crucifixion. It highlights political and interpersonal struggles between Judas
Iscariot and Jesus, struggles that are not in the Bible narratives. The
resurrection is not included. It therefore largely follows the form of a traditional
Passion play.
