Jesus Christ Superstar, starring Ted Neeley, returns to the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, December 2 & 3, 2008 for two performances only!

The first collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be performed on
the professional stage, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is one of the most popular
and enduring works ever created for the musical theater. Featuring such notable
songs as Superstar, Everything’s Alright and I Don’t Know How to Love Him,
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR earned five TONY nominations.

Set in two acts, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR tells the story of the final seven
days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. SUPERSTAR dramatizes Jesus' entry into
Jerusalem, the unrest caused by his preaching and popularity, his betrayal by
Judas, the trial before Pontius Pilate, and his ultimate crucifixion. Perpetually
changing the face of musical theatre JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, will leave
audiences captivated by its power.

As relevant and timeless as ever, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, the rock opera
vision of “the greatest story ever told,” is perhaps more potent in today’s troubled
world than when it was first produced. Now, for the new millennium, this
magnificent story comes once again vividly to the stage with Ted Neeley recreating
his unforgettable performance.

nominated role as Jesus in the Norman Jewison film of SUPERSTAR will be
headlining this tour of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. While Ted has enjoyed a
distinguished career in resident theaters throughout America, appearing in a wide
variety of productions from Hair to the works of Samuel Beckett he is world
renowned for the title role in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. Creating a fan
base that borders on a cult-like phenomenon, this production heralds the long
awaited triumphant return of Ted Neeley in the title role of JESUS CHRIST
SUPERSTAR.
