NEW YORK --- The producers of "Jesus Christ Superstar" announced that unless ticket sales improve, the Broadway musical will close July 1. The Gospel-based rock opera, which has an open-ended run at New York's Neil Simon Theatre, come July will have played 116 performances since its March 22 premiere. “Superstar" received two Tony nominations this year: for revival of a musical (the award went to the Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess") and for featured actor in a musical, Josh Young (who lost to Michael McGrath for "Nice Work If You Can Get It”).
