Cyclopsga, Apparently I was asleep back when you posted about being on the spotlight during the opening night of Superstar at the Agora. This was only 5 years ago, so sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Can you post any details as to the date the show opened? Do you remember how many nights we ran, before it was shut down? Do you by chance have any literature from the pre- production advertising? I’d pay for anything you might have to be sent to me, unless you want to just scan and email. I’m open to anything you might be willing to do. Thanks in advance,

Roy

The production was deemed illegal as it was not sanctioned by who ever owned the rights to it. Apparently money was to be paid to use the name. My memory of this is very sketchy and is why I am looking for any input.I just remember we were shut down before completing all scheduled performances. And, it was a blast doing it, my memory is at least clear on that. Thanks everyone for comments so far.

I was involved with a (illegal)production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Agora in 1969 or 1970 as I recall. If anyone has details about the production they can share, please do. I will be searching archives in the Columbus Dispatch if that newspaper is still going.
