From a Catholic/Christian point of view, it might appear a tad incongruous to stage Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Riceā€™s ā€˜Jesus Christ Superstarā€™ during the Advent season in preparation for the celebration of Christmas and the birth of the Saviour.

Slated Aug. 2-7 at the Schuster Center courtesy of Dayton Liveā€™s Premier Health Broadway in Dayton Series, ā€œJesus Christ Superstarā€ chronicles the final week in the life of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
Is the show "Jesus Christ Superstar" okay for a Catholic to see? Answer: The musical and 1973 film are not Catholic works of art but secular interpretations of the Gospel story. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops said the film was ā€œa sincere if naive effort to tell the story of Jesus in contemporary musical and ethical terms.
