This ain’t your grandfather’s rock opera. The 50th anniversary tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s take on Jesus’ last days sports a contemporary look—including a clean-shaven Christ (Aaron LaVigne)—that uses updated production values to crank up the spectacle and appeal to today’s audiences.
