What time is “Jesus Christ Superstar Live” tonight? You don’t want to miss a minute of it
Easter Sunday means lots of chocolate, colorful eggs, and baskets of candy everywhere. But let’s not forget the real reason we’re celebrating today: For Christians, it’s the holiest day of the year. And if you’re looking to make the religious part of the holiday even more exciting, you need to set aside some time to watch Jesus Christ Superstar Live, NBC’s next live musical show. It’s going to be amazing and trust us: You don’t want to miss out. So, what time is Jesus Christ Superstar Live? And where can you watch it? We’ve got all the details so you can fully take part in the fun.
Here’s what you can expect tonight: Jesus Christ Superstar began as a hit concept album in 1970 and debuted on Broadway in 1971. It was a Tony-nominated rock opera done by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, who are executive producers of the live performance that is airing today. (So, basically, you know it’s going to be good.) The play is about Jesus’ last week of life and is told from the point of view of Judas, who was one of Jesus’ twelve disciples and one who ultimately betrayed him.
NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live isn’t going to be a fancier, splashier version of the old play. It’s sticking to the basics and just focusing on the story of Jesus Christ and his last few days on Earth.
John Legend will play Jesus Christ, which you definitely know if you follow Chrissy Teigen on social media.
