'Jesus Christ Superstar' returns to Atlanta
“Jesus Christ Superstar,” the
groundbreaking theatrical master
piece by legendary writing team
Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim
Rice, debuts at the new Cobb
Energy Performing Arts Centre on
March 4 - 9 for eight performances
only, as a season special for Fidelity
Investments Broadway Across
America - Atlanta.
The first collaboration between
Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice
to be performed on the professional
stage, “Jesus Christ Superstar” is
one of the most popular and endur
ing works ever created for the musi
cal theatre. Featuring such notable
songs as “Superstar,” “Everything’s
Alright” and “I Don’t Know How to
Love Him,” “Jesus Christ Superstar”
earned five Tony nominations.
Tickets for the Atlanta engage
ment are on sale now. They cost
$20 - $53 and can be purchased
through authorized ticket sellers at
the Cobb Energy Centre box office,
Ticketmaster outlets, online at www.
ticketmaster.com, or by phone at
404-817-8700. Order for groups of
15 or more may be placed by calling
404-881-2000.
The performance schedule for
“Jesus Christ Superstar” is: Tuesday,
March 4, 8 p.m.; Wednesday, March
5, 8 p.m.; Thursday, March 6, 8 p.m.;
Friday, March 7, 8 p.m.; Saturday,
March 8, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and
Sunday, March 9, 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Set in two acts, “Jesus Christ
Superstar” tells the story of the
final seven days in the life of Jesus
of Nazareth. “Superstar” dramatiz
es Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, the
unrest caused by his preaching and
popularity, his betrayal by Judas, the
trial before Pontius Pilate, and his
ultimate crucifixion.
International star Ted Neeley, best
known for his Golden Globe nomi
nated role as Jesus in the Norman
Jewison film of “Superstar,” will be
headlining this tour. While Neeley
has enjoyed a distinguished career
in resident theatres throughout
America, appearing in a wide vari
ety of productions from “Hair” to
the works of Samuel Beckett, he is
world renowned for the title role in
“Jesus Christ Superstar.”
Featured in the role of Judas will
be Corey Glover, best known as the
lead singer of the Grammy-winning,
platinum-selling rock band, Living
Colour (“Cult of Personality”).
Glover has also issued albums as
a solo artist and acted in television
and movies including Oliver Stone’s
“Platoon.” Glover reunited with his
Living Colour band mates for a
2001 tour. “Jesus Christ Superstar”
marks Corey’s theatrical debut.
Director Dallett Norris (“Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat,” “Can-Can,” “South
Pacific”) says, “What could be bet
ter than having Ted Neeley, so grand
in the film, on board as we delve
into Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim
Rice’s brilliant musical telling of
this timeless story. Their idea of
setting this tale in terms that imme
diately resonate with today’s audi
ences is revolutionary. Here we are,
twenty-one centuries later, and it is
oh, so clear: we need the message of
this story now more than ever.”
The Atlanta engagement of “Jesus
Christ Superstar” is presented by
arrangement with Broadway Across
America-Atlanta. Broadway Across
America-Atlanta presents Broadway
productions in Atlanta as a member
of Broadway Across America.
