?Superstar? brings memories to life
To the editor:
Growing up as the seventh of nine children in a rural Iowa town, I have fond memories as a 10-year-old listening to my oldest sibling?s records. One in particular was the soundtrack from Jesus Christ Superstar. I found myself listening to this rock opera over and over and over again.

Growing up as the seventh of nine children in a rural Iowa town, I have fond memories as a 10-year-old listening to my oldest sibling?s records. One in particular was the soundtrack from Jesus Christ Superstar. I found myself listening to this rock opera over and over and over again. Never seeing the production, I was very excited to go to the Way Off Broadway version. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine such a powerful night. Every act, rekindled wonderful childhood memories to a musical visually I had never seen. Goosebumps galore, is all I can say. It?s your own fault if you don?t go and enjoy such a wonderful performance. To live in a town of 10,000 people and to see this quality of a show, well we are so blessed. I hope everyone that remembers and enjoyed the soundtrack as much as myself will please go to this show. Get behind W.O.B. This local production company will blow you away. Simply amazing.
