Stage Prophets announces largest show ever with production of Jesus Christ Superstar
(Wolfville NS)
Stage Prophets, in collaboration with Destination Acadia, is excited to celebrate the return of live theatre with its largest show ever - a massive, stadium-sized production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s much beloved rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar. Originally released in 1972 as a Grammy award winning and Platinum selling concept album, Jesus Christ Superstar, and its songs - such as "Superstar", "I Don't Know How to Love Him", Everything’s Alright" - had a transformational impact on music, live theatre, and the movies.
Alongside a cast of over 180 community volunteers and a live rock band, Stage Prophets will mount a rock opera style production (complete with pyrotechnics) with an opening night of June 2, 2023, at Acadia’s 1500-seat Andrew H. McCain Arena.
“Following delays due to the pandemic, I am so excited to embark on this next chapter of our Stage Prophets journey in celebration of 20 years as an operating theatre with our most ambitious production to date: an epic stadium styled production featuring a mass choir, rock and roll band, pyrotechnics and many more surprises.” Said Mary Hanneman, Artistic Director.
“There is so much talent in our community and you will be amazed at the quality of production. From a theatre group that began 20 years ago in the basement of a local church with 16 youth wearing tie-dyed shirts and singing their hearts out to Godspell, to rocking the 1500-seat Andrew H. McCain Arena, we are so excited to show you what we are capable of!”
The show is fully cast, and rehearsals are underway. You can reserve your seats today by purchasing tickets through the Acadia Box Office and online at www.Acadiau.universitytickets.com. Show times are:
Friday, June 2 at 7:30 PM Saturday, June 3 at 2:00 PM Saturday, June 3 at 730 PM Sunday, June 4 at 2:00 PM
