![]() ![]() Sunday evening, that scene came to the Shubert Theatre during the North American tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, which stopped in New Haven Friday through Sunday. Already, Esposito knew who was missing from that stage-and could feel the tears coming. In the mezzanine, educator Rob Esposito watched as Judas (Elvie Ellis) made his way onto the stage, a blood-curdling cry trapped somewhere between his gut and his throat. Only after a moment did it reveal itself as a glowing, giant crucifix set on its back. On stage, Emma Cook raised her hands, limbs pliant and electric, her body bouncing up and down a platform. Lights came up, the low and hazy purples of a bruise. Robert Esposito Photo.Ī shock of electric guitar undulated over the Shubert Theater, bathing the house in something sharp and voltaic.
