The many resurrections of Jesus Christ Superstar

The Globe and Mail: "It’s a testament to the power of Jesus Christ Superstar that Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s creation is being staged at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, which isn’t exactly known for rock operas.
This year, the festival is flexing its repertory muscles, mixing the Bard’s works with productions as varied as John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, Michel Tremblay’s Hosanna and Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming. But of any show on the slate, it’s Superstar that is closest to the heart of Des McAnuff, Stratford’s artistic director.
