Russian theatre shelves 'offensive' 'Jesus Christ Superstar'
A theatre in southern Russia has stopped selling tickets to the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" after prosecutors launched a probe into whether it is offensive to devout Christians, officials said Saturday.
Saint Petersburg's Rock Opera company was to perform the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical -- a 1970s classic that has been regularly performed in Russia -- at the Philharmonic in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don on October 18.
However prosecutors launched a probe after a group of local residents complained that the musical presented a distorted image of Jesus Christ.
"A probe is under way, and subsequently the appropriate decision will be taken," a spokesperson for the Rostov prosecutors told the Interfax news agency.
NTV television said ticket sales had been stopped pending the outcome of the probe.......................>>>>..........................>>>>.......................http://www.france24.com/en/20120929-russian-theatre-shelves-offensive-jesus-christ-superstar

I think I need to take a shower now!  Anyways.................I'm rather surprised to hear this coming out of Russia. Perhaps the american government and the department of defense will attempts to show them what a true democracy and tolerance is like they did in libya, syria, iraq, iran, afghanistan and egypt!! |

Jesus Christ Superstar is not offensive --- just overrated as are most of Andrew Lloyd Webbers' works. |
