Builder of ‘The Old Rock Store’ honored
Historical plaque honors Henry Marx by Ann Fowler OAK HILL - “The Old Rock Store” has been home to the Austin Pizza Garden for 20 years, but it was originally built more than a century ago. So on a recent spring morning, dozens of descendants of master rock mason Heinrich (Henry) Marx gathered to dedicate a supplemental historical plaque to honor him, and a wellbuilt 1898 building that truly has stood the test of time. The original 1970 historical marker titled “Old Rock Store” is more about store owner James Andrew Patton, only vaguely referring to the builder: “A German mason laid the stone.” Great granddaughter Edith See MARX on page 3
National forum honors local middle school as ‘one to watch’ by Bobbie Jean Sawyer OAK HILL - Schools to Watch is an initiative developed to recognize middle schools that meet the initiative’s criteria for quality middle schools: academic excellence, being developmentally responsive, being socially equitable and having a sense of purpose that sustains excellence and drives decision making. Gorzycki held a school-wide celebration on Friday to recognize students, staff, parents and teachers for their role in helping Gorzycki win the honor. Gorzycki principal Vickie Bauerle credits the school’s attention to the needs of the students as a reason for Gorzycki’s overall excellence and achievement. See NATIONAL on page 25

Henry Marx honored Continued from p. 1 (Edie) Hector Tyler said it always bothered her that Henry Marx was not recognized as the master rock mason who build the German-style building. She happened to attend a lecture by a woman from the State Historical Commission, who advised her that a 25-word supplemental marker could be added. The plaque says: “German-born Heinrich (Henry) Marx quarried, chiseled and laid the limestone blocks for this store—the Texas State
Capitol and a nearby school and home also show his craftsmanship.” The dedication was held prior to the 56th annual Marx-Rutter Family Reunion on May 17, with many of the 17 surviving grandchildren present. Janice Worrell Oliver told the group how the 27-year-old Marx packed up his young bride and 2-monthold son to come to Texas to work on the State Capitol project. Henry originally cut and dressed limestone, Continued on page 22

Suburban Worldsick Blues by Roger White With a tip of the hat to a master chronicler of the American age, it must be noted that Bob Dylan never lived in a 3/2/2 with central heat/air and two and a half mortgages during a time when, by all appearances, our society is on the verge of utter decay—all viewable with the click of a mouse or touch of a pad. So I give you “Suburban Worldsick Blues.” Perry’s in the Capitol, railin’ against abortion, I’m lookin’ at my taxes thinkin’ it’s extortion, The man in the trench coat shootin’ up the school halls Says he got bullied so everybody must fall. Look out, dad, the economy is bad, God knows what we did, but the country’s on the skids. You better duck down, turn page, watch out for road rage, Another mass shooting, another senseless rampage, Sterling’s on his cell phone reminiscin’ ’bout slavery, Miley’s twerkin’ onstage, scandalous behavery. Look out, mom, Gotta stay calm, Soldiers in Kabul dodging roadside bombs. Get sick, get well, they’re laying off again at Dell,
Are we winnin’ the war, it’s gettin’ kinda hard to tell, President says our healthcare system’s unfit, All Congress says is where’s your birth certificate? Well, Hormel, GM organizin’ recalls, Bad meat, bad brakes, pickets down at town hall, Daughter’s college fees call for medical sedation, Building border walls to stifle immigration. Look out, pop, no tellin’ where it stops, Younger daughter’s boyfriend working at a head shop.
Icebergs meltin’, droughts killin’ all the wheat, Just global warmin’ lies of the liberal elite. Get dressed, get stressed, face the day’s traffic mess, Oops, your job’s just been outsourced to Bangladesh. Don’t follow leaders, take pills for all the cedars, Find yourself a new position as a Walmart greeter.
Roger White
Mortgage underwater, excess beer consumption, Viagra wants to help with that erectile dysfunction, The factory just made a Chapter 11 declaration, School board says it’s gonna teach divine creation. Text tweet online, your selfie looking so fine, Kids in Bosnia steppin’ on old land mines.
Look out, mama, you’re dyin’ from the trauma, Increase yer Prozac dosage, tune in the dalai lama.
Well, jump down a manhole, filibuster gun control, Think I saw a shadow up there beyond the grassy knoll, Headin’ to the car, another day in the loony ward, Shakin’ yer head ’cause the vandals keyed yer new Ford.

The Word from Oak Hill Mike Jasper The word from Oak Hill is... finally. Yes, I finally went to see Magic’s Theatre. Not a bad move, since I’ve written about Magic’s Theatre at least three times before in this column. It’s definitely worth the $12 bucks. It’s probably worth more, but I’m getting ahead of myself. The facility on Fitzhugh Road opens at 6p.m., and when I pulled my truck up next to the shiny Magic Corvette, I saw a head peep out of the building, briefly, as if to say, “The audience is arriving. It’s showtime!” Me and my faithful companion were the first ones there and I thought, hmmmm. Will we be the only ones in the audience? Maybe the only two out of six? Will I have a coughing fit and embarrass myself? Naw, fortunately my fears were easily allayed, as most of it wasn’t true. Two out of three anyway. As we walked up the ramp, I was impressed with the landscaping. It was exotic, intriguing, dare I say… magical. We entered the building and were greeted by Magic’s wife Candy at the box office. “That’ll be $12 each,” she said sweetly. “Oh,” I said. “I’m Mike Jasper from the Oak Hill Gazette.” “I see,” she said. “That’ll be 48 dollars then. “ See what I did there? If not, then that’s your first illusion. We looked around the museum. A big poster of David Copperfield greets you, understandably, since in John Magic’s opinion he’s the greatest magician who ever lived. Yes, even more than Houdini. Yes, even more than Doug Henning. Yes, even more than Blackstone. Even so, he does boast exhibits from all those magicians in the museum. We perused the pictures and the posters, and then wound up at the concession stand where we made caramel corn disappear. Probably a bad idea, because along with my allergies, the caramel corn made me cough once or twice. See where this is going yet?

Faith needs a home! This is Faith, she is very beautiful, she was found crawling away on the side of the highway with two broken front legs. She was in the hospital for over two months, but she recovered fully and is doing very well. Her one leg is a little bit crooked but is healed completely, and she runs and functions on it 100%. She is very sweet with people and kids, and she welcomes everyone. She will get along with a submissive male dog only— she has been with an abuse case sent from animal control and she protected him and was very good to him, and they even slept in the same Igloo. Faith is ready for her own family and home. She is well behaved in the house, and well behaved in general as she is about 4 or 5 years old. She would do well in a home with adults and very little commotion as she has probably had a life full of turmoil. She is current on her vaccines, HW negative, spayed and microchipped. She is an American Staffordshire Terrier, which means she is larger in size than the typical Staffordshire Terrier, which is typically about 40 to 55 pounds. She is a beautiful dog that needs a really good stable home. Serious inquiries only.

Letter to the Editor
Know Your PEC Board Member The Pedernales Electric Cooperative has been of high interest to me ever since participating in the effort to change the PEC leadership in 2007. Perhaps this is why, when PEC’s annual elections roll around, calls start coming in for recommendations on how to vote. In recent years, I’ve often had to say that I did not know all the candidates. This is unfortunate and here’s why. PEC is the largest electric cooperative in the United States. Lampasas, Liberty Hill, Buda, the northern urbanized reaches of San Antonio and Junction roughly demarcate its 8100 square mile boundaries. Currently, districts are defined by PEC and a candidate must live in the district but elections are “At-Large” by the entire PEC membership. Board position campaigns require money and a major time commitment to reach all the voters. It is often difficult to really know the candidates. Some will say that elections At-Large
result in board members being more sensitive to the entire co-op membership. I believe differently. While Single-Member District Voting would only occur every three years, it would provide the opportunity to truly know and interact with your board member and would allow more responsiveness to your utility concerns. Furthermore, continuing the current At-Large voting evokes grave concerns that elections will become more politically charged in order to raise campaign money and solicit special-interest voter blocks. Good business people, not politicians, should govern our electric cooperative. We need to truly know our candidates. Many believe electric cooperatives are the best form of electric utility. They are essentially not-for-profit organizations that utilize excess revenues for maintenance and improvements and often return credits to members. Co-ops have

local governance -- an important mantra we repeatedly hear from our state legislators.

Memorial Day weekend signalled the beginning of summer activities including swimming. The Austin/ Travis County Health and Human Services Department wants to ensure that everyone stays active and healthy throughout the summer months and offers the following tips to avoid potential recreational water illnesses (RWIs). The germs that cause RWIs, such as cryptosporidiosis (also known as “crypto”), are spread when you swallow, breathe in the mists from, or have contact with contaminated water from pools, water parks, hot tubs, lakes, oceans, and any other type of water used for recreation. “The good news is that germs causing RWIs are killed by chlorine; however, chlorine doesn’t work right away and some organisms can live in the pool for days,” says Dr. Philip Huang, Medical Director for Austin/Travis County

Health and Human Services Department. Even the best maintained pools can spread illness and invisible amounts of fecal matter can end up in the pool. Pool water is shared by every swimmer. Stay healthy every time you swim by doing the following: • Don’t swim when you have diarrhea. • Don’t swallow water. • Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers. • Check diapers & take your children to use the bathroom often. • Change diapers in a bathroom or a diaper-changing area—not poolside. Germs can spread in and around the pool. • Wash your child thoroughly (especially the rear end) with soap and water before swimming.

Stars align for the second coming of Jesus Christ Superstar Jesus Christ Superstar, the global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for over 40 years, is reimagined for the 21st century as an arena rock spectacular. The biggest ever North American arena tour of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s groundbreaking rock musical is coming to Austin at the Frank Erwin Center on Friday, June 20 with an extraordinary cast of rock, pop and R&B superstars. Brandon Boyd, Grammy® nominated lead vocalist of rock band Incubus, is confirmed for the role of ‘Judas Iscariot’, Grammy® nominated *NSYNC vocalist, JC Chasez, will play ‘Pontius Pilate’, Grammy® Award winner and member of Destiny’s Child, Michelle Williams, will take the female lead as ‘Mary Magdalene’, English singer-songwriter and lead singer in Public Image Ltd. (PiL) and Sex Pistols, John Rotten Lydon, will play ‘King Herod’ and introducing British actor and singer, Ben Forster, who won England’s ITV Superstar competition in 2012
and played the lead role in the UK and Australian arena tours of Jesus Christ Superstar, will revive his role as ‘Jesus.’ With over 50 cast and musicians on stage this is one arena show that can’t be missed! The North American leg comes on the heels of the wildly successful UK and Australian arena tours, which began in the UK in September 2012 and commenced in Australia in May 2013. The Times said: “The show gets the right balance between the spectacular, the jokey and the sincere. The performances from the well-choreographed supporting cast are fine throughout. Honestly, it’s enough to give rock opera a good name.” The Evening Chronicle exclaimed, “the extravagance of the production, a flamboyant spectacle of acrobatics, dramatic flames and provocative pole dancing,” and Liverpool Daily Post claimed, “Restored to its rock roots, the star-studded second coming of Jesus Christ Superstar is big, brash and bold…” and the Manchester

She spent a week in Costa Rica on an Academy for Global Studies trip. “It was great,” she recalled. “They treated us like family.” Bergara offers important advice for younger pupils aspiring to compete athletically at the high school level. “Always strive for being the best,” Poqui stated. “Don’t be complacent.”

During a playoff-qualifying season, Poqui Bergara invigorated the Austin High softball team with strong pitching performances. “She was our spark,” said coach Liz Wissel. “She pulled us though. She knew how to get us up and get through tough situations.” Following graduation June 5th, Bergara hopes to continue her softball career in college. Poqui attended Palm Elementary before advancing to O’Henry Middle School, where she also ran the 400-meter dash in track and field. Bergara first played softball on a t-ball team with former Bowie player Brianna Sepeda. Delta instructor Jesus Arreola is Bergara’s favorite teacher at Austin High. “He pushed me to excel in the courses I needed to take,” the senior pitcher added. Over the summer, Poqui traveled to tournaments in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio while competing on the Texas Blast select team with Bowie player Samantha Flores. Poqui’s favorite athletic moment occurred when she threw a perfect game after teammate Vanessa Castro had tossed a perfect game. While a junior, Poqui took a theatre class and

pitching effort from Chris Logan, the Bulldogs evened the series with a 3-0 shutout Friday night at Burger Field. Collins then slipped past Bowie 9-8 in the third and deciding game. Seven lead changes occurred in the first showdown between the teams. Jarvis scored twice and launched a home run in the fourth frame, in addition to surrendering a pair of runs on six hits while serving as the Tiger starting pitcher. Bowie began the game with a single by Shane McGuinness, before Joe Davis doubled him home to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. Dustin Jourdan opened the fourth inning in the second game with a single to left and Davis subsequently reached first base on a fielders’ choice. After Marcel Carter’s grounder back to the pitcher advanced the runners into scoring
position, Jake Moore smacked a two RBI single to right. A 5-4-3 (third base to second to first) double play then killed the Bulldog rally. Bowie added insurance in the sixth inning when Carter swiped third and cruised home following an errant throw to the corner. Moore continued to display offensive prowess in the third game,
blasting a three-run homer to score Justin Shackleford and Jourdan, before later registering an RBI single. Collins (29-11-1) proceeded to fall to Plano in the next round of the playoffs. Bowie (28-10) concluded a successful campaign with pitchers Kyle Gray and Logan, plus lethal hitters Joe Davis and Thomas Varner returning next year.

Marbridge athletes are state basketball Crocket coaches earn champions in Special Olympics District recognition
Champion Marbridge Longhorns with volunteer coaches Daniel Shugart, left, and Merridith and Scott Cary, right. The Marbridge Longhorns proved to be a force worth reckoning with at the Special Olympics state competition this past weekend. The A-Team Marbridge Longhorns soundly defeated the Dallas Area Special Friends 48 to 19 in the tournament’s first game before going on to trounce Garland 36 to 25. Their final victory for the state championship came against Pearland, where they prevailed with a score of 26 to 19. The road to the championship was particularly poignant this year as the team dedicated each game to the memory of one team member’s father. Clay Dunnam lost his father, Tom Dunnam, on May 17, just a short week before the competitions were scheduled to begin. “This was a very tough weekend for our team. When Clay, one of our key players lost his father, he was not able to play in the tournament. The team decided they would dedicate the tournament in memory of Tom and save Clay’s place on the bench with his number 20 jersey,” said Scott Cary, volunteer coach for the Marbridge Longhorns and a Hays County justice of the peace by proContinued on page 25
by Patrick Olson Both the baseball and softball coaches at Crockett earned Coach of the Year honors in District 26-4A. Miguel Trevino received the recognition after guiding the brown and gold baseball club into the postseason against Leander. Sharon Montgomery led the Cougar softball contingent to a district title, as Crockett extended a three-season streak of being undefeated in district competition. Jacy Wright was named the MVP of the district, while Mariah Gomez received the Defensive MVP award. Pitcher of the Year Sara Sanders led the team to a 13-4 record overall. First team selections for the Cougars included Alyssa Martinez, Danielle Fee, Dominique Alvarez and Raven
Isoline-Webb. Gabi Acosta and Josie Mexquitic received second team recognition. Trevino shared coach of the year honors with McCallum’s Russell Houston. Daniel Lopez shared the MVP award with Jordan Gray of McCallum. Marshall Mendieta and Brandon Gonzales were both awarded first team pitcher awards, while Skyler Ventura received unanimous votes as the first team third baseman. AJ Riojas took home the first team designated hitter award, while John Sheppard and Jonathan Garcia earned a spot on the first team as outfielders. D.J. Wilhite, Josef Soriano and Ricky Clark received second team all-district recognition at outfield, shortstop and second base respectively.

The all-day event begins at 8:15 a.m. Attendees will learn about maximizing water resources by adopting aquifer recharge strategies for storage and recovery. Engineers, scientists, various water professionals, and TWDB staff will provide up-to-date information about the challenges and environmental benefits of water management. To learn more about the conference or to register, please visit www.agwt. org/events. Volunteer Deputy Registrar training Tues., June 3, One-hour sessions at 10:30 am, 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Travis County Tax Office, 5501 Air-
port Boulevard, Austin, TX 78751. Help citizens register to vote by becoming a Volunteer Deputy Registrar. Volunteer Deputy Registrars promote voter registration most commonly at community events and within their own social networks. They distribute voter registration applications and confirm that all of the applications they provide are completed correctly. They also provide a receipt to show proof of registration and deliver applications to the Voter Registrar within 5 days of completion. To volunteer, you must be age 18 or older and must attend a one-hour training session. During training, you will review the qualifications to become a VDR, learn how to register voters correctly and be officially sworn-in. For more information, visit www. traviscountytax.org or call (512) 854-9473. Friends of Barton Springs Pool Cleaning Thursday, June 5th, 10am-6pm Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park The first Thursday of each month Friends of Barton Springs Pool gather with fellow swimmers and jump

If you plan on attending, please email service@friendsofbartonspringspool.org to RSVP! Pool cleanings usually take place in three or four two-hour shifts-usually 10-12, 12-2, 2-4, and 4-6. We need three to ten volunteers for each shift along with experienced volunteers to serve as shift leaders.

Democratic political consultant and columnist Jason Stanford will be featured speaker at the June meeting. City launches zoning information web search tool The City of Austin Planning and Development Review Department, in collaboration with Communications and Technology Management, has launched a web search tool, the “Zoning Profile Report,” that pro-
vides general zoning information for properties within the City of Austin’s jurisdiction. When an address is entered in the tool’s search bar, a corresponding map, as well as current zoning, applicable ordinances, overlays, and future land use & regulating plan information is displayed. To get started using the tool, go to http:// www.austintexas.gov/gis/ZoningProfile/ and enter an address in the search bar. While the “Zoning Profile Report” provides general guidance about the types of uses permitted on a property, it is not intended as a means for verifying zoning for legal purposes, or validating the type of development that is allowed on a property. Customers are encouraged to contact the Development Assistance Center (DAC), for development consultations or to obtain official zoning verifications. Visit the DAC at 505 Barton Springs Road, Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. to Noon, or call 512-974-6370 to speak to a staff consultant.

Henry Marx honored with plaque Continued from p. 3 but when the contractor switched to granite, Oliver said, “Henry’s skills really shined. He was one of the few who knew how to cut and dress granite.” Marx built his wife a two-story rock mansion before starting work on the Rock Store, using limestone from Patton’s own land. In 1923, at age 69, Marx was still plying his trade, having finished the Old Oak Hill Elementary School not far from the Rock Store. Oliver showed the group several of Marx’s tools—a pean axe, a tooth axe and a bush hammer. At one point James White, grand-nephew of James Patton, inherited the 20x40-foot building, and turned the one-time Rock Store into the Fortress Steak House. The Marx family credits the Whites for protecting this piece of family and Oak Hill history, as they arranged for the original historical marker for the building in 1970. A 30x50-foot addition designed to match the original rock work was added in 1972 to become the Red Dog Saloon. The two sections were joined by a 30x40-foot section in 1977.
Above: As cars speed by on nearby Hwy. 290, a stone hitching post for horses still stands in front of Austin Pizza Garden—a relic of pre-motorized Oak Hill. Photo at right: Historical Plaques, old and new.

National forum honors local middle school as ‘one to watch’ Continued from p. 1 “It’s kind of that old adage of we don’t want any kids to fall through the cracks. We’re still not perfect, but there’s a real intentional purpose to make sure we address kids and their needs,” Bauerle said. Bauerle said one way that Gorzycki works to meet the individual needs of students is through Kid Day, a weekly staff meeting day to discuss student achievement and focus on students that may need extra assistance. Counselors, teachers and administrators meet to discuss how they can help students who are at risk of falling behind. Bauerle said applying for Schools to Watch is an arduous process, involving a multilevel application that examines the school’s structure, student voice and leadership opportunities. A team was sent to the school to interview panels of students, teachers and parents. In order to be considered as a School to Watch, schools must have three years of statewide testing data. This was the first year that the five-year-old school was eligible for the honor. Lindsey Shirack, a journalism teacher at Gorzycki, said the honor was a recognition of the school’s standing within the community. “I think this award really just recognizes how much our community comes together to help support and advance students. One thing that was important to us was the fact that the committee came in and didn’t just talk to teachers and administrators; they also talked to students and parents and really looked at all
the programs that are going on at Gorzycki,” Shirack said. “Seeing all those things put together and being honored for that is a nice thing.” Shirack said Gorzycki is unique in its wide variety of programs and studies offered to students. “It definitely has the expectations for students to succeed, and as a journalism teacher at the middle school level, which is obviously very rare, I think that Gorzycki does a really great job of setting up programs of interest for students so there’s electives of all kind from guitar to rocketry,” Shirack said. “Students want to excel and want to be as active as possible throughout the school.” Dawn Dammann, a reading teacher at Gorzycki, said the award is a testament to the hard work and dedication that has gone into shaping Gorzycki into the school it’s become. “I think it really does recognize the work that we’ve put into this school
for the past five years,” Dammann said. “Opening a new school is very difficult, especially such a large school, and it really does solidify everything that we’ve been doing.” Dammann said Gorzycki staff adapts to the needs of all students. “I think we meet the needs of all the different levels of kids on campus, whether they’re struggling students or they’re exceptionally high-achieving students,” Dammann said. “I think we’re able to put that into play and make it work. We’ve found a formula that works for our campus.” Dammann said above all it’s Gorzycki students who make it possible for the school to excel. “We talked to them and told them that they are doing such a great job making it a great school,” Dammann said. “Without the kids it really wouldn’t be the way it is. I think that the celebration really did show them that their work is appreciated and is definitely making a difference.”

Long Center and AISD expand access to the Arts with $5 Tickets for High School Students Austin ISD and the Long Center are launching eyeGO to the Arts, a new program that will increase access to the arts for young people by offering $5 tickets-for seats in all price levels-to high school students for all “Long Center Presents” productions. Jamie Grant, executive director and CEO of the Long Center, and Paul Cruz, interim superintendent of AISD, announced the launch of the eyeGO to the Arts partnership. Ronan Melomo, a student at the district’s Liberal Arts and Science Academy, and teachers and student performers from AISD joined the festivities at the announcement that took place Thursday at the Long Center’s Kodosky Lounge overlooking the Austin city skyline. In 2000, Grant launched eyeGO to the Arts in Canada, where he served as the general manager of the Centre in the Square theatre in Kitchener, Ontario. Working with AISD, Grant and the Long Center are bringing the program to the United States for the first time. Through eyeGO, AISD high school students with a valid ID will be able
to purchase $5 tickets to all Long Center Presents productions-not simply those that may not be selling well. Tickets will be reserved in each pricing level, which means the students will have the opportunity to purchase the best seats available, including front-row seats. And, unlike the more common ‘rush’ ticket programs that allow students to buy discounted seats the night of a performance, eyeGO tickets will be available when ticket sales open. The 2014-15 season features 2CELLOS, America’s Test Kitchen Live!, the Blue Man Group, Evil Dead: The Musical, Lila Downs, the Vienna Boys Choir and rePLAY Symphony of Heroes. As school districts across the nation face cuts in arts funding, eyeGO to the Arts says it is dedicated to making the arts accessible and affordable for high school students. Less expensive than a movie ticket, eyeGO to the Arts empowers youth to consider live performances as a viable entertainment option. AISD maintains it is committed to Austin’s creative future-and to creative learning.

Stars align for the second coming of Jesus Christ Superstar Continued from p. 13 this a true spectacle.” “In 1971 Andrew and I were thrilled by the first-ever Jesus Christ Superstar tour of the United States,” said Tim Rice. “We certainly did not imagine then that 43 years later we would be witnessing another America-wide tour of our first big hit show. We are delighted and grateful that enthusiasm for Superstar has been maintained over the years and this new production presents the work in its most powerful format - as a true rock experience.” “Jesus Christ Superstar began life as a rock album...probably because nobody believed back in 1969 that you could present a stage musical about the last days of the life of Jesus Christ. I shall never forget its first live performance in the Civic Arena, Pittsburgh on July 12th 1971. Of course JCS subsequently became a legit theatre stalwart, but I, personally, have always hankered after seeing it again in the arenas where it started,” said Andrew Lloyd Webber. “I’m excited to be involved with Jesus Christ Superstar,” said Michael Cohl. “The show has evolved greatly over the past 40 years and it is exhilarating to be a part of a project that marries this incredible property and its extraordinary music with the new, innovative technology that has become available for live shows. This rock spectacular is a whole new experience for fans.” “I am so thrilled to be a part of this amazing production!” said Brandon Boyd. “I grew up on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classics and never imagined I would be playing a role in one, let alone with such an incredibly diverse cast of players. Truly an honor!” “When I heard Jesus Christ Superstar was coming to the States, I was excited at the idea to be a part of telling one of the most influential stories in history through the scope of such a talented composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber,” said JC Chasez. “I’m

I am the real life Billy Elliot, from a coal mining city in the north of England to touring huge arenas across North America!
