BROADWAY REVIEW: Savvy, bizarre, shrewd 'Jesus Christ Superstar' connects

NEW YORK — At the top of the Broadway transfer of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's “Jesus Christ Superstar,” there's a clever little pre-curtain announcement, spoken by the show's director, Des McAnuff, and wisely retained from the hit Canadian production last summer: “Unwrap your candy any time you want,” it roughly goes. “The score will drown you out.”
