Jesus Christ Superstar Draws Crowds in Missoula

By Anne Medley, 10-29-08

The Missoula Children’s Theatre’s production of the classic rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber opened on October 24 in Missoula to sold-out crowds.

In his third production of the musical, director Jim Caron continues to explore the intricacies of the piece while managing a cast of 95, the largest ever assembled under the MCT roof in downtown Missoula.

New West photographer Graham Coppes spent time with the cast and crew of Jesus Christ Superstar capturing a behind-the-scenes look at this emotional, and often controversial, musical.

The Missoula Children’s Theatre production of Jesus Christ Superstar runs through November 9. Tickets can be purchased online or at the MCT box office downtown.
