The rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar will be resurrected as a live concert on NBC airing Sunday, April 1, 45 years after the movie became a hit — so what better way to celebrate than by learning secrets about the original movie? The new event is just the latest incarnation of the musical, created in 1970 by then-20-somethings Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. "The premise comes from that Bob Dylan line, 'Did Judas Iscariot have God on his side?'" Lloyd Webber says of their story of Jesus' last six days. The 1973 film, starring Ted Neeley as Jesus and Carl Anderson as Judas, earned a devoted following. "It changed my life completely," says Ted, who at 74 still plays Jesus in traveling productions. "It's the most magnificent experience I've ever had — that's why I will do it until [my voice] doesn't work anymore," he says. Here's a look at some of the miracles that brought the movie to life.
