About Jesus Christ Superstar

A powerhouse rock opera of revolutionary proportions!

Andrew Lloyd Webber's thrilling rock opera is told entirely through song and explores the relationships and struggles between key biblical figures—Judas, Mary Magdalene, Jesus Christ, his disciples, and followers—while recounting the final days of Jesus' life.

Whether you're a lifelong fan or a first-time viewer, Jesus Christ Superstar invites you on a contemplative and thought-provoking journey into the heart of power struggles, profound longing, and the complexities of human emotion. As it unravels themes of betrayal, love, and existential questioning, the show ignites deep reflections on the choices that shape our destinies.

This iconic theatrical experience challenges its audience to confront the most fundamental and timeless questions of faith, morality, and power—where passion, music, and history collide with striking modern relevance. Don’t miss this powerful exploration of humanity at its core.

"Imaginatively directed by Kimberly Dooley, this Jesus Christ Superstar is a feast for the senses and the soul, an exhilarating rock opera that delivers both spectacle and substance. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time viewer, Berkeley Playhouse’s production will leave you awestruck—and perhaps even a little shaken."
—Chuck Louden, Stage and Cinema

"...superb singing and acting by principals and ensemble along with absorbing choreography, costumery, and lighting to produce a many-layered aural and visual extravaganza."
—Victor Cordell, Cordellreports
