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.
