BYHAM
DIRECTOR’S
When Jesus Christ Superstar first toured the Civic Arena in 1971, it inspired Holy Innocents Church’s grooviest alter boy, Danny Herman, to pursue a life of Broadway Rock ‘n’ Roll.
That life led him to Rocker Verastique, and they found me. We are proud to bring you together today, with the company that brought the three of us together, to share an experience that has become a PMT tradition.
It was an undertaking, and also a joy, to hold space for diverse perspectives that span generations as we dove into the humanity of legendary figures in rock trappings. Focusing on Jesus Christ Superstar’s birth as a rock album, the power of live music, and paying homage to the era of rock gods on arena tours, we realize how timeless it is.
We hope you experience Jesus Christ Superstar just as you see it - all at once ancient, vintage rock ‘n’ roll, right now, and of tomorrow.
Please enjoy!
Danny Herman, Rocker Verastique, & Lucas Fedele Directors & Choreographers, Jesus Christ Superstar
A NOTE FROM PMT’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Friends,
Ever since announcing Jesus Christ Superstar as part of PMT’s 2024-2025 season, I have been deeply moved by the personal stories people have shared with me - memories tied to this iconic rock opera, its legendary score, the groundbreaking 1970 brown album, or the 1973 film. It’s incredible how deeply this show has touched so many lives.
Beyond its unforgettable music, Jesus Christ Superstar carries a message that resonates profoundly in today’s world. History has a way of repeating itself, and in the midst of uncertainty and chaos, we are reminded of our resilience—the human spirit’s ability to endure, question, and seek meaning. This story invites us to reflect on the choices we make, the forces that shape us, and the ways we lift each other up in difficult times.
With that in mind, we are beyond thrilled to present a musicforward production that brings this powerful score to life in a bold new way. Under the music direction of Dr. Francesca Tortorello, this show features at least 12 cast members playing 16 instruments - communing musically with a dynamic fourpiece professional band, this is not just a show - it’s an experience that will rock your soul.
Thank you for being here with us. I hope you enjoy the journey. And if Jesus Christ Superstar has a special place in your heart, I would love to hear your story.
Colleen Doyno Executive Director Pittsburgh Musical Theater

tim RicE has worked in music, theatre, and films since 1965 when he met Andrew Lloyd Webber, a fellow struggling songwriter. Rather than pursue Tim’s ambitions to write rock or pop songs they turned their attention to Andrew’s obsession – musical theatre. Their first collaboration was based on the life of Dr. Thomas Barnardo, the Victorian philanthropist, The Likes of Us. Their next three works together were much more successful – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. Tim has since worked with other distinguished popular composers such as Elton John (The Lion King, Aida), Alan Menken (Aladdin, King David, Beauty and the Beast), Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (Chess), and Stuart Brayson (From Here to Eternity). He has also written with Freddie Mercury, Burt Bacharach and Rick Wakeman among others.
Tim founded his own cricket team in 1973, which has now played over 750 matches, and was president of MCC, founded in 1789, in 2002. He crops up here and there in all branches of the media, drawing on his extensive knowledge of the history of popular music.
As an EGOT, he is one of only 17 people in the world to have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award, was knighted by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1994, and is the proud owner of a boxer dog and two dozen chickens. andREw lloyd wEbbER has composed the scores of some of the world’s most famous musicals. From Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1969) to Cinderella (2021), his work has been consistently seen on world stages.
Before the COVID pandemic hit, Lloyd Webber had shows continually running in the West End for 48 years and on Broadway for 41. When Sunset Boulevard joined School Of Rock, CATS and The Phantom Of the Opera, he equalled Rodgers & Hammerstein’s record of four shows running simultaneously on Broadway. He is one of the select group of artists with EGOT status, having received Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards.
Lloyd Webber owns seven London theatres, including the iconic London Palladium and Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Over the past three years the latter has been completely restored and renovated at a cost of over £60 million. It is one of the biggest projects ever undertaken by a private theatre owner in recent times. His mantra that every penny of profit made from his theatres is ploughed back into the buildings has meant that considerable work has been undertaken across his theatre portfolio during the pandemic, including the complete remodelling and reseating of the Gillian Lynne.
Lloyd Webber is passionate about the importance of musical education and diversity in the arts. The Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation provides 30 performing arts scholarships every year for talented students with financial need and supports a range of projects such as the Music In Secondary School Trust and commissioning research into diversity in theatre.
Andrew Lloyd Webber was knighted in 1992 and created an honorary life peer in 1997. To mark his 70th birthday, his bestselling autobiography Unmasked was published by Harper Collins in March 2018.

And however you’re imagining the path to the present moment is probably startlingly accurate. He is now a Certified Advanced Actor Combatant with the Society of American Fight Directors.
