Almost thirty years after Rock Opera, his first book on Jesus Christ Superstar, Ellis Nassour returns to the world of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to complete the fascinating story of the Broadway musical that rocked the stage and pushed boundaries.

Nassour goes behind the scenes to show the evolution of Jesus Christ Superstar from an album to a Broadway musical, exploring not only the breakthroughs, but also the frustrations and pitfalls. With never-before-seen photos and new interviews, Superstar presents a detailed account of the life of the musical from 1969–1973.

Reviews for Jesus Christ Superstar: Behind the Scenes of the Worldwide Musical Phenomenon

"""If you must buy only one book about Jesus Christ Superstar, make it this one. Ellis Nassour, the last of a dying breed of theater writers, has given us an utterly invaluable tome from the perspective of someone who witnessed much of it up close. Dense with information about the planning and machinations of putting this extraordinary musical together and filled with exclusive interviews and never-before-seen photographs, this should be on every JCS fan's shelf. If you thought you, were an expert before, reading this will make you think twice!"" --Gibson DelGiudice, stage producer and co-creator of Jesus Christ Superstar Zone, the number-one online fan community ""Musical theater enthusiasts and Superstar devotees will appreciate this candid perspective, the interviews with the show's legends, and the stunning collection of photos."" -- ""Library Journal"""
