Stage Production Notes
With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and lyrics by Tim Rice, Jesus Christ Superstar started life as a single song, “Superstar.” The single was released in 1969, and its popularity led to a full concept album released in 1970. The album resulted in a fully-fledged stage show performed at the Civic Arena in Pennsylvania in July 1971.
Jesus Christ Superstar was billed as a rock opera and was considered genre defining. As the album was more popular in the US than in the UK, it was decided to first open the show on Broadway.
The rock opera opened on Broadway at the Mark Hellinger Theatre in October 1971. The production starred several of the performers who had appeared on the original concept album, including Jeff Fenholt, Ben Vereen, and Bob Bingham. Jesus Christ Superstar ran for over 700 performances, closing in June 1973. Lloyd Webber reportedly hated the production, describing it as “brash and vulgar.”
The West End run took place at the Palace Theatre in August 1972 starring Paul Nicholas, Stephen Tate, and Dana Gillespie. The production was an immense success, and ran for eight years. At the time of its closing, Jesus Christ Superstar was the longest running show in West End history (it now sits at number 21).
Whilst on tour with Amy Ray and Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls in 1991, Big Fish Ensemble vocalist and drummer Michael Lorant was inspired to create an updated version of Jesus Christ Superstar that bought the album back to its rock roots. Recorded in Atlanta in January 1994, the album was cast and produced by Michael Lorant. The resulting album, Jesus Christ Superstar: A Resurrection enlisted the work of over 100 Atlanta and Athens based musicians including the Indigo Girls (see Filmed Production Notes below).
A 25th anniversary production was staged at the Lyceum Theatre in London in 1996. The production was also revived on Broadway in 2000, and again in 2012.
Jesus Christ Superstar was endorsed by the Vatican as part of the year 2000 Jubilee celebrations.
In 2012, Really Useful Group launched an arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar starring Tim Minchin, Melanie C, and reality tv contest winner Ben Forster. The arena tour was filmed in Birmingham and is widely available to view.
An open-air production staged at Regent’s Park in London in 2016 received glowing reviews.
NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar: Live In Concert was broadcast live from the Marcy Armory in Brooklyn and is now available on DVD.
Two film versions of the musical have been released. The first in 1973, directed by Norman Jewison, starred Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson, and Yvonne Ellimann. The second, released in 2000, was directed by Gale Edwards, and starred Glenn Carter, Jerome Pradon, and Renee Castle.
Jesus Christ Superstar continues to be performed around the world, and translated into different languages including French, Spanish, and Serbian.

Filmed Production Notes
Whilst on tour with Amy Ray and Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls in 1991, Big Fish Ensemble vocalist and drummer Michael Lorant was inspired to create an updated version of Jesus Christ Superstar that bought the album back to its rock roots.
Recorded in Atlanta in January 1994, the album was cast and produced by Michael Lorant. The resulting album, Jesus Christ Superstar: A Resurrection enlisted the work of over 100 Atlanta and Athens based musicians.
Jesus Christ Superstar: A Resurrection was released on double-cd and cassette in November 1994 by Daemon Records and Long Play Records. Founded a few years earlier Daemon Records was Amy Ray’s independent label that aimed to place “emphasis on community development on all fronts including the arts, the environment, and human rights.”
In the early 1990s, Michael Lorant was shot during a robbery attempt. As a result, profits from the album were donated to gun violence education projects, including the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence and Georgians Against Handgun Violence.
The album featured Michael Lorant (Judas Iscariot), Amy Ray (Jesus Christ), Emily Saliers (Mary Magedalene), Paul Schwartz (Priests 1 & 3), Benjamin (Caiaphas, High Priest), Mike Mantione (Annas), John Bigay (Priest 2), Kelly Hogan (Simon Zealotes), Gerard McHugh (Pontius Pilate), Anne Richmond Boston (Choir, Maid by the Fire), Matt Brown (Peter), Jeff Jensen (Soldier 1), Bill Decker (Old Man), Rob Gal (Soldier 2), Dave Clair (King Herod), and Social Insanity (Voice of Judas).
The notion of a woman playing Jesus reportedly sparked some controversy. As reported in the Washington Square News, conservative Media Watch editor Tim Graham claimed “the idea of a woman playing Jesus is bizarre and amusing.”
According to a report in The Atlanta Constitution in February 1996, the album became one of Daemon Records best sellers.
Critics were divided in their opinion of the Jesus Christ Superstar: A Resurrection, usually based on how much they enjoyed the original.
Rolling Stone reviewer Paul Evans, who felt the original album was “dreadful - bombastic kitsch that didn’t rock,” stated the new version “beats the hell out of the prototype.” Similiarly, Austin American-Statesman writer Michael Barnes noted “the Lorant version is infinitely more palatable that the screechy, tired, overamplified [sic] and underconceived [sic] road show that passed through Bass Concert Hall last season,” and praised the “rock, rock, and more rock” arrangements. Steve Dollar writing for the Atlanta Journal & Constitution praised the album as superior to the original, stating “Michael Lorant and a cast of dozens turn the musical’s carbonated water to sweet wine.” David Cohen in a review from NYU’s Washington Square News expounded “It is difficult to sum up just how masterful every aspect of this album is.”
Other reviewers were more ambivalent toward the new album. Most were intrigued by the concept of rock musicians coming together to record the score, but concluded that the original album was still the best version. Democrat and Chronicle’s music critic Jeff Spevak felt the album felt like “a cast rehearsal of the musical” and stated that Jesus Christ Superstar “belongs on the stage, and probably not on your stereo.” Writing for The Charlotte Observer, Debby Jet Jennings felt the album “will remind you why the original was so stunning.”
In order to celebrate the release of Jesus Christ Superstar: A Resurrection, on November 26 and 27, 1994, the cast staged “its own rag tag” live performance at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. In an interview for NYU’s Washington Square News, Amy Ray noted that the cast assembled on the day of the first performance to rehearse, ran the show twice, and that the process “was kind of like a vaudeville show… where you get together at the last minute and you throw together a bunch of costumes and do it.”
Tickets for the Atlanta performances were $15 each, and tickets for the first night were sold out a full week beforehand. Both shows were ultimately sold out.
Lyricist Tim Rice reportedly endorsed the album, later stating in “I am both delighted and amazed that the piece is still going strong” and describing the casting as “original.”
Jesus Christ Superstar: A Resurrection was performed at the Austin Music Hall as part of the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Texas on March 19, 1995. The concert was billed as featuring “Amy Ray [and] Emily Salliers of the Indigo Girls,” along with 75 performers and a marching band.
Jeff Clark writing for Creative Loafing described the event as “a triumph…[and] an utterly unique and inspirational event.” Reviewer Jim Fagan praised the performances of the cast, summarizing “All and all it was a great show,” and recommended that upon release of the VHS, “everyone get a copy… You will be in for a treat.”
Clark also noted ticket sales “were respectable” but “weren't as high as hoped for” and that Amy Ray ultimately donated her own money to Texas Against Gun Violence.
As reported in the Seattle Times, program director Renee Duff saw the Austin production and recalled “I was really stunned by the show…It was such a thrilling combination of theater and rock concert, so raw and exciting.” As a result, the concert was performed in Seattle at the end of July 1995 as part of the Summer Nights at the
Pier with proceeds going to Washington Ceasefire and Mothers Against Violence. As with the SXSW concert, the Seattle concert was directed by Nicole Torre.
An official recording of the SXSW event was released on VHS Monsterbit Media. The film was captured by a crew of 12, and combined backstage footage with a variety of angles of the show itself. The audio was captured by KLBJ, Austin, and re-mixed in post-production.
According to fan site Jesus Christ Superstar Zone, after distributor Monsterbit Media went bust, “Daemon Records has since, to date, turned a blind eye to digital transfers of the footage from fans who bought the video.”
The album of Jesus Christ Superstar: Resurrection is available via Amazon (as an Amazon Associate I may earn from qualifying purchases from this link), and the SXSW performance is currently available to view on YouTube.
