Notes on the “Jesus Christ Superstar” set

Notes on the “Jesus Christ Superstar” set

Sometimes, I get a shape of a stage in my head and think, “I really want to do this for a set someday.”  Of course, the set has to support the play and the director’s concept.  Luckily, when I design shows that I also direct, this is sidestepped neatly.
