Jesus Christ SuperstarJesus Christ Superstar is a rock opera musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The story entails the story of the last week of Jesus' life through modern rock music and contemporary slang. It is also unusual in its choice to tell most of the story through Judas Iscariot, the apostle who will eventually betray Jesus.
