----------
A global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for over 40 years, Jesus Christ Superstar is a timeless work set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
It was the first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage and first came to major theatres when it debuted on Broadway in October 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre in New York.
Less than 12 months after the Broadway show opened, the rock spectacle went to London, exploding onto the West End at the Palace Theatre in August 1972 in a hugely successful production. By 1980, after 3,358 performances, Jesus Christ Superstar had become the longest running musical in West End history at the time and grossed $12.3 million.
In all, Jesus Christ Superstar has grossed over $205 million and has been professionally produced in 42 countries around the world!

Love this version which moved past the hippie stage of the original and brought things up to date. Jesus the same yesterday, today, and forever :)

Costume Jesus christ superstar Descendants

[@MinaF99]

When I saw Jesus in cargo pants I was sure this production must not have had a costume designer at all. At least now I know who to blame. Otherwise a great production though

Just... ALL wrong! The costume choices were dated for the 80s, let alone a picture from 2000! You went from classic, period and rock pieces to the look of a gay leather bar!

Let me just say I know you posted this a year ago and I'm sorry bc it's super annoying that I'm replying to it now... but I fucking love the idea of gay leather bar jesus christ superstar. It even rhymes. That's how amazing it is.
