Jesus Christ Superstar description
National Treasure Sam Ryder will make his West End debut in Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium.
The popular Regent's Park Open Air Theatre production of Jesus Christ Superstar stars Sam Ryder as Jesus, whose charm and world-class vocal talent makes him perfect for the role. A BRIT and Emmy-nominated, critically acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician, Sam's TikTok success, Eurovision hit single Space Man, number one Album, number two single, billions of streams and more than 20 million followers have shot him to stardom.
Originally a rock opera album, the musical made its debut on the Broadway stage in 1971, then transferred to the West End in '72 and ran for eight years. This Open Air Theatre production opened in 2016, scored a huge hit and came back in 2017, the same year it won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival. Then, in 2018, it transferred to the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's beloved classic take us through the last days of Jesus's life, told through the eyes of the traitor Judas. Their beloved musical theatre phenomenon is packed with rock classics, including I Don't Know How to Love Him, Gethsemane and the iconic Superstar.
Tim Sheader directs, with Choreography from Olivier Award-winning Drew McOnie and Design by Tony and Olivier Award-winning Tom Scutt. Tom Deering is the Musical Supervisor, Lee Curran is the Lighting Designer, Adam Fisher is the Sound Designer, Kate Waters is the Fight Director, and David Grindrod CDG is the Casting Director.
An iconic West End musical with impeccable credentials, buckets of critical acclaim and a glittering star at its heart, we predict Jesus Christ Superstar tickets are going to sell like hot cakes.
