"The Signature Jesus Christ Superstar captures a great spirit; the spirit of a religious and political awakening. Calarco takes what could have been pompous and preachy and – worse yet – stale, and makes Andrew Lloyd Webber’s and Tim Rice’s work seem dangerous."
-- DC Theater Arts

"Innovative and impactful. Infuses new life and meaning into an already powerful story. Makes a powerful statement about the terrible things done in the name of religion, which, while reminiscent of the original message, seems more timely now than ever."
--MD Theatre Guide

"Dazzling. Teems with energy and raw emotion. Joe Calarco adroitly crosses religion, art, and politics for a divinely entertaining take on the classic rock opera. Manages to provoke, delight, frighten, and comfort."
--Metro Weekly

"Stunning! Breathtaking! Brought to revolutionary life by director Calarco in ingenious ways. This production of Jesus Christ Superstar should be the definitive version produced anywhere—anytime!" 

--Zebra

Classic Title

"Nothing happens by chance in Joe Calarco’s brilliantly realized adaptation. This production takes risks and nearly half a century later still has the ability to make us think — and to make us uncomfortable."
