March 30, at 7:00 pm at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque,
11141 East Boulevard in University Circle. Attending will be Ted Neeley
(Jesus), Barry Dennen (Pontius Pilate—not only in the movie but also on
the original JCS concept album and on Broadway), and Bob Bingham
(Caiaphas).
All
three men will answer audience questions from 7:00 pm to 7:30 pm. At
7:30 Norman Jewison’s film, which is rated G and lasts 107 minutes, will
be shown in a new digital restoration. After the movie, the three
special guests will greet fans and sign autographs.

Though
best known for his role as Jesus in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, Neeley also
appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s DJANGO UNCHAINED. Dennen, who lived
with Barbra Streisand early in her career and wrote a book about their
relationship, has also appeared in THE SHINING, SHOCK TREATMENT (sequel
to THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW), and TITANIC and supplied one of the
voices in Jim Henson’s THE DARK CRYSTAL. He originated the role of the
emcee in Harold Prince’s London production of CABARET.
