Starring Ted Neeley in t he title role\, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR will play five performances only\, Friday May 7 through Sunday\, May 9. Ted Neeley's Golden Globe nominate d performance as Jesus in the Norman Jewison film of SUPERSTAR created a s ensation. While he has enjoyed a distinguished career in theatre througho ut the world\, appearing in diverse productions\, from Hair to Samuel Beck ett\, Ted Neeley is internationally renowned for the title role in JESUS C HRIST SUPERSTAR. \nJESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is packed with hit s ongs including &ldquo\;I Don't Know How To Love Him\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Coul d We Start Again Please&rdquo\; and of course\, &ldquo\;Superstar.&rdquo\; Driving rock rhythms\, energetic power chords\, along with heart searing ballads all combine in Andrew Lloyd Webber's haunting and unforgettable s core. When JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR first appeared on Broadway in 1971\, i t was clear that the musical world would never be the same again. Nearly forty years later\, this astonishing musical is back and is as fresh and g ripping as ever\, proving that no musical since has been able to touch aud iences with quite the same impact or emotional intensity. Acclaimed as a theatrical triumph at the time of its premiere\, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR ha s since attained the status of theatrical legend. \nJESUS CHRIST SUPERSTA R is an epic retelling of the last seven days in the life of Jesus of Naza reth. Recounting the story of men and women driven to their fate by force s beyond their control\, this unique musical remains as relevant\, accessi ble\, and compelling today as the day it was written. Director Dallett N orris (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat\, South Pacific) says\ , 'What could be better than having Ted Neeley\, so grand in the film\, on board as we delve into Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's brilliant music al telling of this timeless story. Their idea of setting this tale in ter ms that immediately resonate with today's audiences is revolutionary. Her e we are\, twenty-one centuries later\, and it is oh\, so clear: we need t he message of this story now more than ever.' \nJESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR pl ays at the Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre May 7 through 9\, 2010 .
