Jesus Christ Superstar is a musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber that follows Jesus Christ in the final weeks of his life, seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. The story is told entirely through song as it explores the relationships Jesus held with Judas, Mary Magdalene, the disciples, Jesus’ followers, and the Roman Empire as political pressure and great betrayal build toward his crucifixion.
The legendary score of this show reflects the show's long-held rock roots, which defined an entire generation. Originally released as a concept album, the musical first opened on Broadway in 1971 before arriving in the West End the following year, where its original London production ran for more than 8 years.
Jesus Christ Superstar in London is led by Sam Ryder as Jesus, marking his West End debut. Tyrone Huntley stars as Judas Iscariot, with Desmonda Cathabel as Mary Magdalene, and David Thaxton as Pontius Pilate. Throughout the summer, incredible performers will share the role of King Herod, including: Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Richard Armitage, Boy George, Layton Williams, and Julian Clary.
Tim Sheader directs this production, with choreography by Olivier Award-winner Drew McOnie and design by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Tom Scutt. The creative team also includes musical supervisor Tom Deering, lighting designer Lee Curran, and sound designer Adam Fisher.
With its major star casting and iconic score coming back to the stage, Jesus Christ Superstar returns to London in a brilliant new staging of a classic musical that has been long-loved. The show takes audiences into perhaps one of the most iconic stories of human history: the life and death of Jesus Christ.
