The multi award-winning production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar will play a limited season at London's Barbican Centre in 2019
Originally written as a rock opera album, Jesus Christ Superstar made its explosive debut on the Broadway stage in 1971. The show transferred to the West End the following year where it ran for eight years and went on to become one of the most enduring musicals of its time.
Following two sell-out seasons at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre – where it won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival, and Evening Standard Award for Best Musical - this production comes to the Barbican Theatre for just 60 performances from 4 July 2019. Casting for the production is yet to be announced.
Jesus Christ Superstar has lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The Barbican production is directed by Timothy Sheader, choreographed by Drew McOnie and musical direction by Tom Deering.
