Tickets now on sale - MLT's Production of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

Marblehead, Massachusetts — Tickets for Marblehead Little Theatre’s production of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR are now available online at mltlive.org and at Arnould Gallery and Framery, 111 Washington St., in Marblehead.

Performances are scheduled for the first two weekends in April at the MLT Firehouse Theatre, 12 School Street. Tickets are $25 each. There is a special $15 student rate for matinee performances.

With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is a rock opera based on the last week of Jesus’ life 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, the story is told entirely through song, exploring the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers, the Judeans and the Roman Empire.

Marblehead Little Theatre’s community theatre production of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is presented by arrangement with The Music Company, LP.

Started in 1955 by members of the Marblehead Women’s Club, the award-winning Marblehead Little Theatre is one of the oldest community theatre groups in New England, having consistently presented live-theater productions for over six decades. Upcoming performances at MLT include “To Kill a Mockingbird” presented by the Mugford Street Players directed by John Fogle and produced by Greg Mancusi-Uhgaro running March 1 through March 16. Please check mltlive.org for children’s program opportunities.
