Spice Girl, and UK 2012 Arena Tour鈥檚 Mary Magdalene, Melanie C presents the story of five decades of the musical that helped drag the revolutionary sixties rock opera genre into the limelight of seventies pop and beyond.
From its innovative beginnings as a concept album, we hear how those involved with Jesus Christ Superstar from the start knew they were onto something special. The success of the musical didn鈥檛 stop there, with a film and theatrical productions hitting the shores in America, Australia, Sweden, Japan, Germany, Italy and here in the UK. A brand was born. The once controversial rock opera continues to adapt to each passing decade and Melanie examines its influences on the musicals of today through Hamilton and beyond.
With contributions from the likes of Tim Rice, Paul Nicholas, Murray Head, Yvonne Elliman, Mike d鈥橝bo, Tony Hadley, Josh Young, Marcia Hines, Cameron Mackintosh and many others we discover, in celebration of Andrew Lloyd Webber鈥檚 70th birthday, how Jesus Christ Superstar has stayed the course for almost fifty years.
