[2] Conway Christ Redneck Superstar was the second of six plays produced between 1985 and 1996 by a group of arts workers who formed a company called ToadShow Pty Ltd in 1986.
[3] ToadShow produced The Paisley Pirates of Penzance (1985), Conway Christ Redneck Superstar (1985) and Hound of Music (1986), SherWoodstock (1990), Phantoad of the Opera (1991) and Glamalot (1996).
[3] Theatre critic John Harris said, "The musicals are unique to Brisbane, conceived and written by a combination of talents undoubtedly unlike any to be found anywhere else in the world.
They employ music with a rock beat, satire with a light touch, and casts of dozens, scores, or hundreds, depending upon the venue.
"[4] The story of Jesus Christ, Superstar is relocated to the Southern United States where downtrodden rural workers are exploited by the evil Boss Roman.
