Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary seminal musical celebrates its 45th anniversary, as Jesus Christ Superstar returns to London in the remarkable surroundings of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.

Loosely based on the Gospels’ accounts of the last week of Jesus’ life, the show details the interpersonal struggles between Jesus and Judas Iscariot through rip-roaringly powerful and punchy music.

With a renowned score including I Don’t Know How To Love Him, Gethsemane and Superstar, musical direction by Tom Deering and choreography by Drew McOnie, direction from Timothy Sheader, and spectacle, comedy and heart-breaking betrayal in abundance, this production promises an epic experience.

Jesus Christ Superstar is led by Declan Bennett, former EastEnders actor and star of Once The Musical.

With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision.
