Depictions of Christ-like figures and interpretations of Jesus Christ can be seen in a variety of media. One example of an analytic rendition of Jesus’ life is musical production Jesus Christ Superstar, which is a semi-gospel rock opera interpretation of the seven days prior to Jesus Christ’s death.

The rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar was written by Tim Rice, then 25-year-old lyricist and Andrew Lloyd-Webber, then 21-year-old composer.
