About this album
Jesus Christ Superstar is a landmark rock opera that helped redraw the boundaries between musical theatre and mainstream rock. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s 1970 score gives the Passion story a contemporary edge, with driving guitars, big ensemble writing and standout numbers such as Heave,n On Their Minds, I Don’t Know How To Love Him and Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say). First heard as a concept album before reaching the stage, it became a cultural phenomenon and one of the most influential works in the musical theatre crossover canon. Its blend of biblical drama and rock energy made it a defining title of the era.
