Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)
with special guest star Ted Neeley!
In 1973, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Broadway stage hit JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR debuted on the big screen, presenting the story of Jesus’ final days and crucifixion as a spectacular rock opera. The landmark film featured Ted Neeley – who had performed the lead role on Broadway – as Jesus, and Carl Anderson as Judas. Both were nominated for Golden Globes.
Fifty years later, in celebration of the film’s enduring legacy for generations of fans, Ted Neeley returns to Tampa Theatre for a LIVE guest appearance and special screening of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR! Neeley will introduce the beautifully restored film and sing along with the audience throughout the movie to all of the classic songs featured in the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, including “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” “Hosanna,” and “King Herod’s Song (Try It and See).”
