Western Canada Theatre bringing Jesus Christ Superstar to the stage in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — Next week, Western Canada Theatre (WCT) will be bringing Jesus Christ Superstar to Kamloops. Rehearsals are well underway, as cast and crew have been preparing for this iteration of the 1970’s rock opera, originally created by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.
WCT’s Artistic Director, James MacDonald is directing the production, and says it’s filled with familiar songs from the original musical, centered around the storytelling of the last week of Jesus’ life.
“There’s a lot of people who grew up with the music and will recognize it. But really anybody who likes classic rock, I mean it’s a classic rock musical.”
