If you thought the New York production of Jesus Christ Superstar was the first, you’d be wrong. Think small… smaller… and yet… that’s about right. The first stage production of JC Superstar was performed at the Diadem Dinner Theater in Gaithersburg, Maryland in 1971. To anyone’s knowledge this Super 8mm film footage is the only known record other than the photos floating around, mostly in the Washington, DC area.

I may as well stay with the theme for the moment. Here’s another video assembled from old Super 8mm film footage from 1969 (and there’s yet another to come). Though there were 8mm cameras that would record audio while filming in those days, this camera did not. However, the audio was recorded - poorly - around the same period of time. So, 39 year old film and sound - a perfect match.
