PASSION PLAY
The Passion Play or Easter pageant is a dramatic presentation depicting the Passion of Jesus Christ: his trial, suffering and death. It is a traditional part of Lent in several Christian denominations, particularly in Catholic tradition. (More from Wikipedia)
Jesus Christ Superstar was frequently criticized for not showing the Resurrection; but actually, the album has the format of a traditional Passion Play, ending abruptly after Jesus’ final words on the Cross.
