PLACE: Bethany: in and around Jerusalem and the Garden of Gethsemane.

TH1E: The last seven days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

PRODUCTION NOTE: There are as many ways to stage JESUS CHRIST

SUPERSTAR as there are directors and designers willing to bring their own creative inventiveness to it. The simplicity of a platformed stage consisting of several levels relying on lighting to indicate place and changing scenes can foster as favourable an atmosphere as the most lavish treatment. However, the ultimate success of the production rests on the music:al and lyrical content. In the end, it must be the music and lyrics which create the mood, tell the story and make JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR the unforgettable theatrical experience it is. In this script we have included brief suggestions as to settings, entrances and exits, and general movement. They are meant as guidelines, not as scripture--to point possible directions, not to limit personal conceptions. Throughout the script there are also numerical notations (i.e .. 1, 2, 3, etc.) representing bars of music as found in the piano-conductor score.
