It is the title that changed the history of Rock and has always made the “Resurrection” its most controversial theme. I’m over 2 million spectators that in Italy and Europe have already experienced the great emotions of “Jesus Christ Superstar“, the Musical by Massimo Romeo Piparo considered a real international phenomenon, produced by PeepArrow Entertainment in the original version by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Ricewhich at Easter from the stage of the Sistina will begin a new, unmissable Italian tour.
Known as “the most loved rock opera of all time”, the show, with the live orchestra directed by Maestro Emanuele Friello and a cast of over 30 artists, will be at Pala Bassano 2 in Bassano del Grappa on Friday 6 May (start at 9pm).
Extraordinary protagonist of an incredibly talented cast will once again be the charismatic Ted Neeley, the original Jesus of the famous film by Norman Jewison of 1973, called to give face, body and voice to a character who renews an eternal myth, whose message of peace, spirituality and dialogue is now more necessary than ever. The “resurrection” of Christ on the stage will be an emblem of rebirth, after the human and cultural catastrophe left by the pandemic, and even now that yet another bloody war is taking place.
In his being a vehicle of eternal and positive values, through the story of the passion of a man-symbol capable of making spirituality his revolutionary banner, the show could not fail to represent also the huge tragedy that the world has been witnessing for months and offer its proximity to Ukraine with the universal language of art. By marking the time of the pressing music in the scene of the 39 lashes inflicted on Jesus, the now mythical 39 images of contemporary martyrs will be projected, with a “new”, powerful ending that will be the cry of pain of the Ukrainian people.
Perfectly combining 70s-style rock music, musical tradition and a story with universal values, Jesus Christ Superstar is a musical that knows no boundaries, capable of conquering spectators of all ages and all nationalities. To prove it, the numbers of its glorious history: 12 consecutive years on the bill in Italian theaters from 1994 to 2006; more than 1,600 performances; over 2 million spectators in Italy and Europe; over 190 artists who have alternated in the different editions.
With its impressive and spectacular staging, the show, staged in English, not only celebrates talent but honors Italy on international stages, demonstrating that our country has now reached competitive levels in terms of artistic quality and professionalism in the musical. Proof of this are the sold out and open-stage standing ovations that have accompanied the show for years, as well as the prestigious one MusicalWorld Awardone of the most authoritative international awards in the musical, which awarded the Jesus Christ Superstar produced by Massimo Romeo Piparo’s PeepArrow Entertainment as the best international production in Holland in 2016.
