• 28th May 2012

Due to phenomenal demand, a second London date has been announced for the brand new rock arena tour of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar, after the first London date sold out within 24 hours of going on sale.

Jesus Christ Superstar will now play at London’s The O2 arena on Saturday 22 September, as well as Friday 21 September.

Tickets for the tour – which will also visit Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham, Belfast, Dublin, Liverpool, Nottingham and Sheffield during September and October – went on sale yesterday. Tickets are available from link.

An all-star cast for this exciting new production of Jesus Christ Superstar was unveiled this week, with award winning musical comedian Tim Minchin, an arena selling attraction not normally known for starring in musical theatre, taking the lead with his all time dream role as ‘Judas Iscariot’. Pop icon Melanie C will play ‘Mary Magdelene’ with radio presenter Chris Moyles as ‘King Herod’.

The ITV primetime show ‘Superstar’ will give the UK public the chance to decide who will play the starring role of ‘Jesus’, with a panel of live show judges led by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
