This groundbreaking and edgy production brings to life the final days of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes of Judas. Reflecting the rock roots that defined a generation and appealing to both theater audiences and concert music fans, the iconic score includes “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” “Superstar,” and “Heaven on Their Minds.”
