'''''Jesus Christ Superstar''''' is a [[rock opera]] by [[Tim Rice]] and [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]].  Introduced in [[1970]], it highlights the political and interpersonal struggles of [[Judas Iscariot]] and [[Jesus]]. The action largely follows the [[Biblical canon|canonical]] [[gospel]]s' accounts of the last weeks of Jesus' life, beginning with Jesus and his followers arriving in [[Jerusalem]] and ending with the [[Crucifixion]]. [[20th century|Twentieth-century]] attitude and sensibilities as well as contemporary slang pervade the lyrics, and ironic allusions to modern life are scattered throughout the political depiction of the events.  Stage and film productions accordingly feature many intentional [[anachronism]]s.
