Choreographed by Drew McOnie (Strictly Ballroom), and with music and lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, Jesus Christ Superstar's legendary score includes 'I Don’t Know How to Love Him’, ‘Gethsemane’ and ‘Superstar’.

Originally staged by London’s Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, this reimagined production won the 2017 Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival and was described by The Guardian as a “gorgeous, thrilling, heavenly musical.”
