Jesus Christ Superstar—an 8x Tony Award-nominee—returns in a bold new production starring Tony Award-nominee Adam Pascal as Jesus. With a thunderous score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, this electrifying musical reimagines the final days of Jesus Christ through the eyes of Judas. Torn between loyalty and fear, Judas believes the movement is growing dangerously radical. As tension builds and the world closes in, the story hurtles toward the crucifixion—capturing Jesus’ internal anguish and his ultimate acceptance of fate.
Set to pulse-pounding rock and told entirely through music, it’s a timeless story of power, sacrifice, and the human struggle behind a divine legend. Don’t miss this iconic theatrical event that has moved audiences for over 50 years.
