A modern dystopian reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical Jesus Christ Superstar!

Ever wonder what the final seven days looked like to Judas?

Get ready to experience the iconic musical Jesus Christ Superstar like never before—amped up with electrifying guitar riffs, thundering drums, and relentless TCMS energy that pushes the boundaries of rock musicals to heights never seen before!
