Hair influenced Jesus Christ Superstar
Added by Media Influence Map · 29 September 2026
The evidence
Hair brought a rock score to Broadway in 1968, and Jesus Christ Superstar followed it there in 1971 as a rock opera. The Broadway production of Superstar was directed by Tom O'Horgan, who had directed Hair. MEDIUM: a debt of form and of production, not of story.
