SWEET JEBUS

The Anchorage Concert Association is hosting a production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” at the Atwood Concert Hall for the holidays.

This production features Ted Neeley as Jesus Christ. Mr Neeley has played this part on Broadway (1971) in the film (1973) and continues now (2008). Ted Neeley has been Jesus Christ for 37 years, he has been Jesus longer than Jesus himself! Mr Neeley wasn’t born into the role in 1943, he started his portrayal at age 31. That makes this Jesus 65 years old!

Jesus on social security with medicare benefits, or can you get benefits if you’ve risen from the dead? 

If you are in Anchorage this holiday season, you may want to catch this performance, reported to be his farewell tour, at the Atwood Concert Hall. Let’s just hope that Jesus doesn’t break a hip.
