Strange to see this show in Rome, but to those of you who only know Webber as the composer of "Phantom" and other over-rated shows, it's worth going to Rome just to see this show. Webber and Rice used to compose amazing music; where did they go wrong?

“Jesus Christ Superstar” Back in Rome. Original Version On Stage!

By BuzzInRome

The ever lasting musical Jesus Christ Superstar has come back to Rome running until November 14 and will eventually be performed in English in one of Rome’s biggest and most famous theatres: Teatro Sistina.

The set, though, is contemporary, no 1970s’ stage designing. This cult show by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber has been performed on the most prestigious world stages, a veritable classic of musical comedy.

The rock opera has a live orchestra and features several Italian pop music stars, such as Max Gazzè (Erode) and Mario Venuti (Pilate). The plot is based on Jesus’ last two weeks of life with a mix of rock music, religious topics and modern culture.

The version on show at Teatro Sistina, directed by Massimo Romeo Piparo, has been officially recognized by the Vatican for the Jubilee in 2000.

Teatro Sistina is at 129, Via Sistina. Shows will be held from Tuesday to Saturday at 9 pm. On Sundays at 5 pm. You can buy online tickets here .

Sally--
there's a perfect, local taverna on the bridge right at the piazza of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. I can't remember the name of it (could be "ponte" something), but you can't miss it. And you can sit in the window, drink, eat and watch the kids play in the piazza.

Sally:
I am not an expert on Cicheti but these are the places listed in the Slow Food 2011 guide book. I never travel anywhere in Italy without it and have never been disappointed. I would seriously suggest these places first before "winging" it in Venice. Venetians on a whole are wonderful people don't get me wrong it is just that I constantly hear about Tourists getting ripped off and it is a shame.. So:

Da Alberto
Osteria da Alberto, Venezia, Calle Giacinto Gallina Cannaregio,, Telephone 041 5238

Trattoria All' Arco San Polo (Rialto), 436
30125 VENEZIA(VE)

Al Bacareto
Campo San Samuele-San Marco 3447

CAVATAPPI. Campo de la guerra, 525/526 - san marco

****CODROMA
Ponte del Soccorso
30123 Venezia, Italia
041 5246789
This is my favorite. I have been several times.

Good Luck.. Have a fab time. Feel free to contcat me.

One last Venetian query: Does anyone know a good place to enjoy the cicchetti bar snacks that are popular in Venice?

Thank you Maria. You are the second person to recommend Da Michele to me.
