A

n Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice seminal classic once again comes to the stage during this summer’s Thunder Bay theatrical season. Migliazza Productions is proud to present Jesus Christ Superstar, featuring some of Thunder Bay's finest actors, singers, dancers, and musicians. This crowd-pleasing musical extravaganza will be an event audiences don't want to miss. What began as a rock opera concept album in 1970—one of the first of its kind—Jesus Christ Superstar became a worldwide phenomenon with major productions staged on Broadway and in the West End in 1970 and 1971 before reaching

across the globe. Very loosely based on the Gospels’ accounts of the final days of Jesus’ life, it dramatizes the political and personal struggles between Judas Iscariot and Jesus, struggles not included in the Bible. It offers and encourages free interpretation of the psychological torments of Jesus and other characters, profoundly punctuated by a haunting rock score. Jesus Christ Superstar will run from July 25-27 with performances at 7 pm at Redwood Park Church, tickets are $20 and can be purchased at Valente's Music, Steeper's Tea, and Redwood Park Church. Proceeds will support the Redwood Park Church Food Bank.
