MANAGEMENT at the opening night of “Jesus Christ Superstar” at the AIS Arena in Bruce were initially concerned at the presence of what appeared to be a Christian protest group outside the stadium.

However, the group was small and doing nothing much more than handing out pamphlets to concert goers as they filed in for the first performance.

One patron said: “Actually, they were a benign lot handing us pamphlets and telling us to have nice night.”

The pamphlets raise the question: “Is Jesus a Superstar?” And attempt to answer it by quoting biblical passages.
