The museum at the former Nazi death camp Majdanek in Poland has canceled plans to host a production of "Jesus Christ Superstar," after criticism of the idea in news media, the director said Thursday.

Museum director Edward Balawejder said he had been persuaded by Lublin Musical Theater to host the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice rock opera after it pledged to perform it in a "respectful way," but then changed his mind after Polish newspapers reported objections from several Jewish figures.
