Jesus Christ Superstar
Jesus Sings!
Directed by Nick Morris, Gale Edwards
Produced by KQED, The Really Useful Group
A theatrical rock musical retelling of Christ's final days that balances spiritual weight with dramatic intensity, anchored by Andrew Lloyd Webber's celebrated score.
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar first exploded onto the West End stage in 1971 and it was clear that the musical world would never be the same again. For the first time ever, Jesus Christ Superstar has been specially filmed for video. Shot at Pinewood Studios, this brand new filmed stage version starring Glenn Carter and Rik Mayall captures one of the best score Andrew Lloyd Webber has ever written and is packed with hit songs including, 'I Don't Know How To Love Him', 'Gethsemane' and 'Superstar'.
