Jesus Christ Superstar
8860 Lawrence Welk Drive, Escondido, 92026
Cost: $49 - $68
The Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice rock opera may be "loosely" based on the last days of Jesus, but the Welk Resort Theatre's dazzling production is tight as a tourniquet. All the voices turn tunes into high-wire acts with no net below. Director/choreographer Ray Limon has fashioned one of the most daring, most complete shows I've seen at the Welk in quite some time. The tensions -- has Jesus "gone too far" -- amplified by the hard-rock score, propel the show in spite of its built-in spoiler. Critic's Pick.
