(SPRING LAKE, NJ) -- Spring Lake Theatre Company presents Jesus Christ Superstar across two weekends from March 19-29, 2026. Experience the groundbreaking rock opera that changed musical theatre forever. Jesus Christ Superstar tells the story of the final days of Jesus through a bold, modern lens and a powerful rock score.
The first musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.
The iconic 1970s rock score contains such well-known numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “Gethsemane.”
Performances take place Thursday, March 19 at 7:30pm; Friday, March 20 at 7:30pm; Saturday, March 21 at 2:00pm & 7:30pm; Sunday, March 22 at 2:00pm; Thursday, March 26 at 7:30pm; Friday, March 27 at 7:30pm; Saturday, March 28 at 2:00pm & 7:30pm; and Sunday, March 29 at 2:00pm.
