Jesus Christ Superstar, or why musicals need direction

There's a cycle of open-air musical theatre performances running at an amphitheatre in town, and I took the opportunity to catch Jesus Christ Superstar as performed by the Teatr Rozrywki w Chorzowie. Hey, it was free :)

( Remarks on the musical and this particular production )

I'm wondering whether to give the same theatre a chance and go to Katowice to see their Jekyll & Hyde. It's another show with lovely songs and stumbling plot that requires careful direction, so I fear the end result might be the same frustration.
