Set in two acts, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR tells the story of the final seven days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

Perpetually changing the face of musical theatre, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR will leave audiences captivated by its power.
As relevant and timeless as ever, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, the rock opera vision of “the greatest story ever told,” is perhaps more potent in today’s troubled world than when it was first produced. Now, for the new millennium, this magnificent story comes, once again, vividly to the stage with Ted Neeley re-creating his unforgettable performance.
Internationally beloved star Ted Neeley, best known for his Golden Globe nominated role as Jesus in the Norman Jewison film of SUPERSTAR, will be headlining this tour of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. While Ted has enjoyed a distinguished career in resident theatres throughout America, appearing in a wide variety of productions from Hair to the works of Samuel Beckett, he is world renowned for the title role in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. Creating a fan base that borders on a cult-like phenomenon, this production heralds the long awaited triumphant return of Ted Neeley in the title role of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.
