Engadine Musical Society is very proud to present the rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar.

Lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the musical started as a rock opera concept recording before its first staging on Broadway in 1971.

The musical is loosely based on the Gospels' accounts of the last week of Jesus' life, beginning with the preparation for the arrival of Jesus and his disciples in Jerusalem and ending with the crucifixion. It highlights political and interpersonal struggles between Judas Iscariot and Jesus, struggles that are not in the Bible.
