• EVENING: An Encore Airing of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR LIVE!
• From executive producers Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Marc Platt, Craig Zadan and Neil
Meron comes NBC's next live musical spectacular, the groundbreaking rock opera "Jesus Christ
Superstar Live in Concert," starring John Legend, Alice Cooper and Sara Bareilles.
• Set during the final week of Jesus' life, the story is told from the perspective of infamous
betrayer Judas Iscariot. As more and more followers flock to Jesus, Judas grows concerned
that Jesus is becoming arrogant and losing sight of his principles. So when Jesus attacks the
money changers in a temple, Judas finally turns on his teacher, setting both on a path to
tragedy. Originally conceived as a concept album that hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts, the
show eventually made its way to the stage in 1971 and garnered five Tony nominations in
addition to winning a Drama Desk Award for Andrew Lloyd Webber. Now this globally
celebrated classic comes to NBC in 2018 for a one-of-a-kind live staging on Easter Sunday
that's sure to amaze with jaw-dropping spectacle and an all-star cast of beloved recording
artists. The special will air from 8-10:15pm ET/PT.
