Singing Opportunities in the Musical "Jesus Christ Superstar"

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Casting singers for musical production "Jesus Christ Superstar". More details are below. About the show: Jesus Christ Superstar follows Jesus and his disciples during the last week of Jesus’ life. Much of the focus of the rock opera is on the doubts that both Jesus and his disciples feel. Judas Iscariot serves as the viewpoint character and is written in a more sympathetic voice than in many other Passion plays. Judas worries about the growing popularity of Jesus, whom he doubts is the true son of God. After seeing the crowd celebrating Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and hearing Simon the Apostle (or the Zealot) encouraging Jesus to lead his followers against Roman imperialism, Judas goes to the Pharisaic authorities. The Pharisees already distrust Jesus and are concerned about what the Roman reaction might be to his large following. They offer Judas 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus by identifying him with a kiss. After a tense Last Supper scene, Judas leaves and returns with Roman soldiers, who arrest Jesus and take him to Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect of Judaea. Pilate, who is portrayed as a somewhat conflicted character, does not consider Jesus’ actions to be capital offenses and sends him to King Herod (Herod II), the Roman-appointed ruler of Judaea, to avoid making a decision himself. After Jesus refuses to perform a miracle on demand, Herod returns him to Pilate, who gives in to the throng of people demanding Jesus’ execution and delivers him to that fate, “washing his hands” of Jesus. Judas, overcome by guilt, hangs himself. Jesus is crucified as the musical ends. Additional information: Callbacks to follow on Friday, June 13 from 6:30 - 10:30 pm in Barrie, ON.
