Highlights from Jesus Christ Superstar (1996 London studio cast)
~ Release by Andrew Lloyd Webber (see all versions of this release, 7 available)
Annotation
In 1996, Superstar was revived in London. Directed by Gale Edwards, this version of Superstar was updated to appeal to a new generation of fans. It starred Steve Balsamo as Jesus and Zubin Varla as Judas (and Joanna Ampil as Mary Magdalene). Referred to as the "Lyceum Production", it was relatively successful. This eventually led Gale Edwards to restage the show for a UK tour, followed by a video starring Glenn Carter as Jesus and Jerome Pradon as Judas. This "new" interpretation of the show was revived on Broadway in 2000 again starring Carter, but a last minute change made Tony Vincent, who had played Simon in the video, step into the role of Judas. It opened to mixed reviews and closed quickly. It was more popular in its UK/European run; that opened in November 1996 and closed in March 1998.
