Touring production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's rock opera, with Sam Ryder as Jesus, directed by Tim Sheader.
Sam Ryder takes the role of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, playing at Milton Keynes Theatre from Tuesday 27 to Saturday 31 July 2027. It's a one-week run, so if you're going to catch it, you'll need to pick your night early in the week rather than leaving it until the weekend.
For those who haven't come across it, Jesus Christ Superstar is the rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice that tells the story of the final days of Jesus through the eyes of Judas. It first reached audiences as a concept album before opening on Broadway in 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre; the original London production ran for more than eight years and 3,358 performances, the longest-running West End musical at the time. The score includes 'I Don't Know How to Love Him', 'Gethsemane', and the title number 'Superstar'.
This particular production is directed by Tim Sheader, who reunites the show's 2016 creative team, with choreography by Drew McOnie and design by Tom Scutt. It's a touring version that follows sell-out runs at The London Palladium and Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and it's booked in Milton Keynes for one week only.
