Ernie Lijoi as Jesus and Ithica Tell as Judas in ‘Jesus Christ Super-
star,’ opening Thursday, July 21 at the Post 5 Theatre in Sellwood.
Performances of the rock opera will run through Aug. 20.
‘Jesus Christ
Superstar’ Rock Out
Jesus Christ Superstar, the
spectacular musical by Tim
Rice and Andrew Lloyd Web-
ber, will open Friday, July 21st
at Post 5 Theatre, 1666 S.E.
Lambert in Sellwood. It will
be the first time in 20 years the
show has been produced theat-
rically with a professional cast
in Portland.
The rock opera tells the sto-
ry of Jesus from Judas’ point of
view. Energetic, powerful, and
propelled by a stirring score, the
play illuminates the transcen-
dent power of the human spirit
with a passion that goes straight
to the heart. Because of violent
content, the production is not
recommended for children.
Performances are at 8 p.m.
each Thursday through Sunday
through Aug. 20. Admission is
$20. Tickets will be available
at the door or may be purchased
at boxofficetickets.com.
