Jesus Christ Superstar's enduring 1970s rock score was initially issued as a game-changing album and hit the stage in 1971 at the renowned Mark Hellinger Theatre. It has since become a worldwide phenomenon, running for more than eight years in London. With over 3,358 performances by the time it closed, it was considered the longest-running musical in West End history at the time.
Originally premiering at London's Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, the performance features music and lyrics by Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winners Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Renowned producer Timothy Sheader is the show's director, while Drew McOnie is the cast’s choreographer.
Likewise, the production will feature choreography by Olivier Award-winning Drew McOnie, musical direction by Tom Deering, designs by the visionary Tom Scutt, lighting designs by Lee Curran, and sound designs by Nick Lidster. Producer David Ian mentioned that he was excited to bring this production alive on tour. “Our team has created a fresh and bold new version of a beloved classic which will enthrall both longtime fans of the show and delight those seeing it for the very first time,” he added.
The Broadway show’s story straightforwardly recounts The Passion of Jesus Christ, including the tribulations and uprising that resulted in his crucifixion. In contrast to other musicals of the day, the composition was groundbreaking and challengingly original, thanks to its ROCK OPERA design.
