Jesus Christ Superstar made its American oratorio debut in 1971 at the Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey in 1971. I was there with my wife. She worked around the corner from the convention center at a Greek Fast Food place (I think it was called "Nick's)across from the merry go round. I worked riding a bicycle which transported people (summers) from one end of the Boardwalk to the other end.

The performance may have been in the Movie Theater where we saw "Gone With The Wind."

This link will show you the merry go round in the foreground. In the background is the Paramount(?) and the convention center.

How famous is this place? “In 1974, the now legendary music club, The Stone Pony, opened its doors for the first time”

Delmar's Gift Shop was a family owned business that also owned Malson's at the South end of Convention Hall. One of the aforementioned years was the year of Jesus Christ Superstar. A friend of mine was a security guard at Convention Hall, so I attended every performance free - What A Blast!!
