" Jesus Christ Superstar"

A rock opera by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber . Introduced in 1970 , it highlights the political and interpersonal struggles of Judas Iscariot and Jesus . The action largely follows the canonical gospels ' accounts of the last weeks of Jesus' life, beginning with Jesus and his followers arriving in Jerusalem and ending with the Crucifixion . Twentieth-century attitude and sensibilities as well as contemporary slang pervade the lyrics, and ironic allusions to modern life are scattered throughout the political depiction of the events. Stage and film productions accordingly feature many intentional anachronisms .
