"Jesus Christ, Superstar" in Concert


   Coming up this weekend in Huntington is a special performance of one of my all-time favorites: the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar. 

   It features an all-star cast and some terrific musicians - you can read all about it in this story in the Herald-Dispatch.

   Here's an excerpt:

   As the pastor of Trinity Episcopal Church, Chip Graves has learned that when music director Mark Smith has a crazy idea, you just step back and let the spirit move.
   Armed with a good portion of his fellow musicians from Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.'s big band, and starring stage rockers Ryan Hardiman and Chris Sizemore (as Jesus and Judas), Smith directs a concert-only version of Jesus Christ Superstar: In Concert. at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 11-12 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 520 11th St., Huntington.
   The concert is free and open to the public. Donations will be taken, and you'll want to get there early as both shows are expected to be standing room only.
