Everything's Alright (Jesus Christ Superstar song)

"Everything's Alright" is a song from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. According to the official Jesus Christ Superstar website,^[1] in the song, Mary Magdalene tries to calm Jesus with an expensive ointment and tells him not to get worried. Judas snatches the ointment from her and accuses her of wasting resources which would be better served helping the poor. Jesus retorts by saying that there will always be poverty in the world and that they will never be able to help everyone.^[2]

The song is musically notable for its 5
4 time signature.

Yvonne Elliman, who sang the part of Mary Magdalene on the original rock opera concept album Jesus Christ Superstar^[3] and also in the 1971 Broadway original cast^[4] and 1973 film, released a single of "Everything's Alright" in 1971, which reached #92 on the Billboard Hot 100.^[5]

Everything's Alright (Reprise)

The reprise of "Everything's Alright" is sung by Mary Magdalene to calm Jesus after he awakes with a start.^[2] The short, 29 second reprise leads into the hit single, "I Don't Know How to Love Him," which is also sung by Mary Magdalene.
