It was the summer of 1988 when I first heard the melodious JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR score. After church, Mamma and Nanny T would make rounds to the local garage sales and the original cast album was one of their finds. I had a vintage stereo with a record player and this was my solace after church or rehearsal. When Bayou City Theatrics announced this show my excitement ranneth over and I was ready to head to the theatre to see what the creatives had for the American Stage.

The album of the epic rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber (composer) and Tim Rice (lyricist) was released in 1970 and topped the Billboard Pop Albums.

The show was a pleasant time-travel and an endearing, lighthearted laugh that suggests love can still, no matter what, triumph over all.
