the rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Weber and lyrics by Tim Rice, first performed in 1971. Ryckeghem has played the part before — and one of the reasons he likes it that he's a bass and music theater tends to have a lot more tenor roles — and, in fact, calls it a dream role. "So I do see him as a bad, evil character but there is part of it that plays to the other side as well," Ryckeghem says.
"The show was originally written as a concert series so it was really just a band onstage with people coming up and singing and so it was more of a vocal acrobatic show before. I think that given that we’re playing to a lot larger audiences and in a lot larger theaters, the dance spectacle that it really needs to be entertaining to the masses. I think it really adds to the emotion of the show," he says.
Well known songs from Jesus Christ Superstar include"I Don't Know How to Love Him,""Gethsemane" and"Jesus Must Die," the last of which is now presented"in a sort of fun boy band concept. It sort of lightens the mood of what we're actually conspiring," Ryckeghem says. Despite other changes, he says this show really hangs onto the '70s classic rock sound.
