Pro Reviews: Jesus Christ Superstar [MCA Original Cast Recording]

  • All Music Guide

    Writers Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice set several precedents with this album. First, it is a prestage studio version, and it topped the US charts upon release. Second, it is the first show to successfully put rock music in a theatrical context (Hair is really a pop/showmusic pastiche, not rock). Third, it is a "sungthrough" musical without spoken dialog, technically an operetta. Fourth, though musicals had turned more serious at this point, writing a show about Jesus Christ from the point of view of Judas was about as daring as you could get. It succeeds in all ways. In addition to the title song (a 14 hit sung by Murray Head), it includes "I Don't Know How to Love Him" by Yvonne Elliman.
