Jesus Christ Superstar

Wanted to know if anyone knows anything about the production of Jesus Christ Superstar playing at Thousand Oaks, CA in March 2007. Is it an "Off-Broadway" production with any original cast members, etc? I am looking for a performance that is as close to the original as possible and just wanted to make sure it was not a new, different show that would not be similar to what I had seen before.

Wouldn't it just be a regional production and not anywhere near off-broadway? And I'm pretty sure the show came out of the 70's so I question how new it is and there won't be any original castmembers, I think I can say that with certainty.

LOL.

If it were off-Broadway, it'd be in New York.

This is the "farewell tour" starring Ted Neeley, who played Jesus in the motion picture. He understudied the role of Jesus in the original Broadway production while playing a leper and a reporter. So he is in fact an original cast member, though not in the role you'll be seeing him play. He's as close as you're going to get to seeing something akin to the original production, though this production is not based on that staging either. Keep in mind too that despite his experience with the role, the man is now 64 years old, roughly double the age the real Jesus was when he died.

Ted Neeley is coming to Eugene, Oregon with the show in March. The role of Jesus is a hard role to sing. At 64 I wonder how he is? Has anyone seen him?

I just read it. Thanks!!!
