'Jesus Christ Superstar'
"Jesus Christ Superstar" is Andrew Lloyd Webber's recounting of the last days of Jesus Christ. This rock opera follows Jesus and the Apostles in the days leading up to the Resurrection, as told through the eyes of Judas, as he makes the fateful decision to believe in or to betray Jesus Christ.
With its book and music written by Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, "Jesus Christ Superstar" has been a global phenomenon for more than 40 years.
Special guest Patrick Cassidy will direct WMU's all-student cast in the University Theatre production.
