‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ is a cheesy flashback to the ’70s

“Jesus Christ Superstar,” Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock opera that reimagines Christ and Judas as history’s Kiel Klaphake’s unimaginative staging doesn’t show off “Superstar” to best effect. Lead actors Brett Travis (Jesus) and Shawn W. Smith (Judas) Bottom line: It’s cheesy. It’s dated. But lots of people love it. Reviewed Sunday, March 19. Continues through Sunday, April 16. Arizona Broadway Theatre, 7701 W. Paradise Lane, Peoria. Call for prices. 623-776-8400, azbroadway.org.
