Great Seats Still Available for 'Jesus Christ Superstar'
EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Fiddlehead Theatre Company, the Resident production entity of the historic Strand Theatre, still has great seats available for "Jesus Christ Superstar," opening tomorrow, Friday April 24h at 8 P.M.
This Tony-Award winning rock opera, directed and costumed by Fiddlehead's Associate Producing Artistic Director Stacey Stephens runs through May 3, and ends the company's 2014-2015 season. Tickets can be purchased at www.fiddleheadtheatre.com.
"Jesus Chris Superstar" is the final of three Tony-Award winning rock musicals presented by Fiddlehead Theatre Company in their 2014-2015 season, and it looks forward to their hugely ambitious 2015-2016 season, which includes the watershed of American theatre "Showboat," the classic that influenced the course of musical theatre history "West Side Story," Disney's "The Little Mermaid" and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "RENT."
With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a book and lyrics by Tim Rice, "Jesus Christ Superstar" is a timeless work loosely based on the Gospel accounts of the last week of Jesus' life and set against the backdrop of extraordinary and universally-known series of events. Fiddlehead takes on a modern interpretation of this centuries-old story, creating a musical experience that resonates in today's society.
"We are very excited to finish our 2014-2015 season with this beloved classic story with a contemporary rock-n-roll twist," said Fiddlehead Producing Artistic Director Meg Fofonoff. "'Jesus Christ Superstar' is the perfect musical to end our 2nd season here at the Strand. We look forward to welcoming theater goers to experience this telling of the last days of Jesus Christ with a contemporary lens that will really resonate with viewers."
Performance tickets for "Jesus Christ Superstar" are $25-$45 each, special discounts available for Seniors, Students and Dorchester residents. Discounts for groups of 15 or more.
"Jesus Christ Superstar" runs from April 24-May 3 at the historic Strand Theatre (543 Columbia Road, Dorchester, MA). For more information visit www.fiddleheadtheatre.com or call the box office at 617-229-6494.
