When Skid Row

ruled the rock charts with songs like "18 and Life," "Youth

Gone Wild" and "I Remember You," no one could have forseen

that front man Sebastian Bach would one day earn the respect of the theatrical

community, have roles in Broadway productions of "Jeykyll and Hyde,"

and "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and end up playing Jesus in

a touring production of "Jesus Christ Superstar." That is exactly

what happened though and Atlanta audiences can see Bach as Jesus this

week in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular show.

"Jesus

Christ Superstar" focuses on the final week of Jesus' life starting

with his entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and ending with his death

at the hands of Pontius Pilate. The show started in London in 1972 and

has enjoyed tremendous success worldwide since then. "Jesus Christ

Superstar" features such classic numbers as "I Don't Know How

to Love Him," "Could We Start Again Please," and "Superstar."

Bach will be

joined on stage by Carl Anderson who has played Judas both on Broadway

and in film. Anderson made his directorial debut during the Vatican's

Jubilee Celebration and was granted an audience with the Pope.

"Jesus

Christ Superstar" will run at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta through

Sunday, April 6. Tickets are $25-$45 depending on performance time and

seat location. Evening performances during the week will start at 8 p.m.
