MYSTERY: Producers CANCEL Jesus Christ Superstar Tour 10 DAYS BEFORE OPEN

The staging had already arrived and was being installed when suddenly without explanation, and a mere 10 days before the highly anticipated opening, “Jesus Christ Superstar Arena Spectacular Tour”, set to open in New Orleans on June 9, and run nationwide for two months, was canceled.. In its entirety.

This was no slouch production! The cast included Incubus frontman Brandan Boyd, John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd, ‘N Sync’s JC Chasez and Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams.

A notice on the official website blandly notes:
