ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN ▼ DOWNTOWN RESURRECTED (AGAIN) The first Jesus Christ Superstar this writer saw was his high school’s production of the An- drew Lloyd Webber musical. Watching teen- agers tackle roles like Mary Magdalene, Judas Iscariot, and Pontius Pilate was, er, interest- ing, to say the least.

If you’ve yet to see the 1971 rock opera on stage, let your first time be on Tuesday at the Adrienne Ar- sht Center for the Performing Arts. The pro- duction, which is touring the U.S. in celebration of its 50th anniversary, serves as the final show in the Arsht Center’s 2021-22 Broadway season. 8 p.m. Tuesday through Sat- urday, 2 p.m. Saturday, and 1 and 7 p.m. Sun- day, at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, 1300 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-468-2000; arshtcenter.org.
