Jesus Christ Superstar
Opening night Jesus Christ Superstar: November 3rd, 2005 Utrecht
Jesus Christ Superstar
The musical is based very loosely 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. The resurrection is not included. It therefore largely follows the form of a traditional passion play.
