Jesus Christ Superstar Tickets

Jesus Christ Superstar consists of two Acts, beginning with Judas criticizing Jesus Christ and his followers. He blames Jesus for making his followers believe in false stories, although he still loves him. Judas believes Jesus is just another man and not a God, and tries to prevent him and his followers from going to Jerusalem, but no one listens. Jesus is troubled that his followers do not understand him and his message, and Mary Magdalene, seeing him worried, tries to console him. Judas sees this as wrong, believing Jesus is going against his own teachings by getting involved with a prostitute; however, Jesus comments that if he isn't indulging in any kind of sin, there's nothing wrong with it. When Jesus arrives at the Temple in Jerusalem, he finds out it is used for evil purposes; he gets angry and tells all the merchants to leave. Angry and tired, overwhelmed by his heavy burdens, Jesus tries to wander away, but is faced by crippled, hopeless, and troubled people. He tries to heal them all, but being unable to solve all of their troubles, he gets frustrated and tells them to heal themselves. Mary Magdalene, finding Jesus upset, tells him to relax. While Jesus is asleep, Mary confesses her love for him, explaining how different he is from any other man. Meanwhile, Judas conspires against Jesus and gathers some priests to help him, disclosing Jesus' location.

The second Act starts with the famous incident from the Gospel titled "The Last Supper," where Jesus' famous speech is narrated. He mentions how one of his apostles will betray him and Pilate will deny him three times. Judas arrives with Roman soldiers and gets Jesus arrested. Pilate hands Jesus over to King Herod, who sends him back to Pilate, thinking Jesus is just another messiah. Judas, ashamed of Jesus' harsh treatment, repents and commits suicide. The play ends with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, during which he sees Judas' spirit who asks him why he chose to come the way he has. The Act 2 closes as Jesus is put on the cross.

Jesus Christ Superstar is a portrayal of intense mental and psychological suffering and struggle of different people, mainly Jesus Christ and Judas.
