—Thursday, March 28: Jesus Christ Superstar [G]. Now 40 years after its first release in 1973 this modern passion play re-imagined into the magnetic Broadway musical by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber (with lyrics by Tim Rice) and immortalized into film by writer/director Norman Jewison, will be on Laemmle Theatre big screens for one night only, Thursday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. Set during the week leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus, the film uniquely explores the unasked question: Why did Judas betray Jesus? The film Jesus Christ Superstar travels the terrain of the seduction and challenges of destiny, celebrity, friendship, fear, love, passion, and our notions of success and failure. Both Ted Neely who portrayed Jesus and Carl Anderson who portrayed Judas (in the film as well as on Broadway) were both nominated for Golden Globe Awards for the searing insights they give into the heart and soul of these biblical figures. Released as a single in January 1971, “Superstar” made it to the top 15. A month later, Helen Reddy’s version of “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”—her first hit single—also reached the top 15. The recording of the same song from the original show album released as a single in April 1971, also made the top 30. The album spent close to 2 years on the charts, including 3 weeks at number one in 1971. Other number one albums that year included John Lennon’s “Imagine,” George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass,” Janis Joplin’s “Pearl,” Carole King’s “Tapestry,” “Sticky Fingers” by The Rolling Stones, and “Four Way Street” by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. All proceeds of the screening will benefit the Carl Anderson Memorial Scholarship Fund. See www.AgapeLive.com and www.Laemmle.com for tickets. The late Carl Anderson is best known for his celebrated star performance as Judas in Jesus Christ, Superstar on Broadway, in the motion picture and on stages across the country while on tour. His role as the preacher in The Color Purple, his Emmy for Onstage LA, and performances with a host of outstanding artists including Nancy Wilson at Carnegie Hall, are also highlights in the life of this creative artist and openhearted man. Founded in 2004, Agape’s Carl Anderson Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to support students pursuing careers in the arts and now assists all Agape students seeking higher education.
