443 - Ted Neeley of Jesus Christ Superstar, One Last Screening in Yellow Springs, OH.

Ted Neeley played the lead role in both the stage performance and the film adaptation of Jesus Christ Superstar. His piercing, multi-octave range and golden locks made for something we hadn’t seen before: a hunky rock n’ roll Messiah.  Also starring the smoldering Yvonne Elliman, as Mary Magdalene, and the soulful, gut wrenching performance of Carl Anderson as Judas.  Neeley was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for his spellbinding portrayal. Now, you get to see that iconic film on the big screen once again as the Little Art Theater in Yellow Springs will do a run of Jesus Christ Superstar on the big screen, March 27th, 28th and 29th.  And, flying in for the festivities is Ted Neeley himself.  To talk about it, we welcome Ted, alongside tour manager, Frank Munoz.Ted talks screening the film over 400 times.  Unfortunately, the ending never changes.  This upcoming run at the Little Art Theater will be the final appearance in southern Ohio.  You can purchase tickets and VIP passes at tedneeley.com
