The deeply emotional exploration of the Biblical Passion narrative - as a Rock musical! Corrupt star worship and the people's expectations of a leading figure: the questions put forward by "Jesus Christ Superstar" are still highly topical today. It is a story of human dreams, chasms and the fine line between faith and fanaticism in a world that is splitting at the seams.
