The Georgetown Palace Theatre will open Jesus Christ Superstar, this Friday, May, 29, on the historic Springer stage. The first musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events, but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ's life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers, and the Roman Empire.

The iconic 1970s rock score contains such well-known numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don't Know How to Love Him” and “Gethsemane.” A true global phenomenon and perfect choice for schools, community theaters and professionals alike, Superstar continues to touch new generations of audiences and performers. Directed by Jamie Rogers.

Mix and mingle with the cast, Friday, May 29, for our opening night after party in the Tin Barn located in Tin Barn Alley behind the theatre. We will have complimentary drinks and snacks.
