Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the “Ted Neeley Farewell Tour: Jesus Christ Superstar” on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 7:00 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
Join Ted Neeley on his Farewell Tour. We are thrilled to share that Ted Neeley — the original star of “Jesus Christ Superstar” — will be attending a screening of the digitally remastered Norman Jewison film.
This will be your last chance to meet Ted Neeley and watch a screening of the landmark 1973 motion picture “Jesus Christ Superstar”.
In 1973, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Broadway stage hit “Jesus Christ Superstar” debuted on the big screen, presenting the story of Jesus’ final days and crucifixion as a spectacular rock opera. The landmark film featured Ted Neeley – who had performed the lead role on Broadway – as Jesus, and Carl Anderson as Judas. Both were nominated for Golden Globes.
Now, in celebration of the film’s enduring legacy for generations of fans, Ted Neeley comes to Sedona and the Mary D. Fisher one final time for a LIVE guest appearance and special screening of “Jesus Christ Superstar”. Neeley will provide an extended introduction to the beautifully restored digital print, then sit among his fans in the audience to enjoy all of the classic songs featured in the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, including “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” “Hosanna,” and “King Herod’s Song (Try It and See).”
This once-in-a-lifetime experience includes the opportunity for autographs and photographs after the film with the iconic singer/actor.
