Macquarie Musical Society presents Jesus Christ Superstar

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

The city of Jerusalem has been occupied by the forces of the Roman empire and the tension in

the city is at breaking point. The people are hungry for a leader to free them and the Pharisees

and ruling class are all too aware of the upheaval a revolution would cause.

Enter the perfect Martyr. Someone to take the brunt of the rage of the people. Someone to

distract the population from who is really pulling their strings.

Jesus Christ Superstar follows the final week in the life of Jesus Christ, a simple preacher from

Galilee who has developed a following of friends and caught the eye of a city on the brink of

fracturing. With him is Judas Iscariot, his best friend and right hand man who seems to be the

only one able to see the dangers of the path they’re walking. Judas only wants them to be safe,

but with the violence and tension growing, maybe there is only one way out of it all.
