English Summary:
Jesus Christ Superstar is a 1970 rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. It started as a rock opera album musical before its Broadway on-stage debut in 1971. The musical is mostly sung-through, with little spoken dialogue. The story 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 depicts political and interpersonal struggles between Judas Iscariot and Jesus that are not present in the Bible.
The work's depiction offers a free interpretation of the psychology of Jesus and other characters. Much of the plot centers on Judas, who is dissatisfied with the direction in which Jesus is steering his disciples.
Contemporary attitudes, sensibilities, and slang pervade the rock-opera's lyrics, and ironic allusions to modern life are scattered throughout the depiction of political events. Stage and film productions accordingly contain many intentional anachronisms.
Hungarian Summary:
Tim Rice és Andrew Lloyd Webber rock klasszikusa, a Jézus Krisztus Szupersztár eredeti gyökereihez tér vissza ezzel a szenzációs előadással, melyet az Élő arénaturné elnevezésű koncertturnén rögzítettek az Egyesült Királyságban.
A produkció illusztris szereplői között olyan neveket találunk, mint Júdás szerepében Tim Minchin, Mária Magdolna mint Melanie C, Chris Moyles Heródes királyként, Jézus szerepében pedig Ben Forster.
A musical legendás dalai, az I Don’t Know How to Love Him, Gethsemane, Heaven on Their Minds, Everything’s Alright, King Herod’s Song és a Superstar pedig izgalmas, modern köntösben csendülnek fel.
