Sunset Playhouse

What’s the buzz? The first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice for the professional stage, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR has wowed audiences for more than 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, SUPERSTAR follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers, and the Roman Empire.
The iconic 1970s rock score contains such well-known numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane.”

With panoramic views of the Milwaukee skyline, the space offers a captivating blend of heritage and innovation.

When his leading lady (and fiancée) is found dead from an apparent suicide after the opening night of her Broadway stage debut, playwright Alex Dennison is left heartbroken. On the first anniversary of her death, he gathers the cast and crew from that ill-fated night in the same Broadway Theater, ostensibly to read his new play, a mystery in which a famous actress is killed.
As the reading progresses, the scenes are uncomfortably close to actual past encounters the cast had with Monica. When pressed, Alex reveals his belief that she was murdered and that someone in the cast was her killer!
