Talented cast energizes CLO's edgy 'Superstar'

PostGazette: "'Jesus Christ Superstar,' the first successful collaboration of lyricist Tim Rice and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, shot onto the theater scene in 1971 with a howling rocker Jesus and some of the same controversies that surrounded 'The Passion of the Christ' decades later. The rock opera became the longest-running West End musical at the time of its closing, and it keeps on going, including an acclaimed version at this year's Stratford Shakespeare Festival that's bound for LaJolla and possibly Broadway."
