CrimeStoppers Night at the Theatre
Jesus Christ Superstar
Friday, May 1, 2026
Playhouse on the Square, 66 S. Cooper Street
Recognized as a landmark musical today, Jesus Christ Superstar almost wasn’t produced. When Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice couldn’t find financial backing for the show, they produced a concept album instead. The album proved so successful that financing soon followed and the “Rock Opera” musical was born. This very human, psychological telling of the final days of Jesus – seen through the eyes of Judas – remains awe-inspiring and thought-provoking.
