Annie Live!

Jesus Christ Superstar Live!

Production Designer : Jason Ardizzone-West

Role: Assistant Art Director

Installed in the Marcy Avenue Armory in Brooklyn for a single, live broadcast performance, the Emmy award-winning production design for Jesus Christ Superstar Live was a collision between antiquity and modernity. Inspired by the Sistine Chapel, the massive scenic foam walls were carved and painted to resemble ancient fresco walls, held in place by contemporary scaffolding. An automated wall opened in the shape of a cross, flooded with back-lighting, to reinforce the epic crucifixion scene.

Directed by David Leveaux; Produced by Craig Zadan, Neil Meron, Marc Platt, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Tim Rice.
