Op 21 september gaat in de O2 Arena in Londen de nieuwe arena productie van Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ van start.
Opvallende namen in de cast met Tim Minchin als ‘Judas Iscariot’, Melanie C als ‘Mary Magdalene’ en Chris Moyles als ‘King Herod’. De rol van ‘Jesus’ wordt deze zomer gecast via het TV programma ‘Superstar’ op ITV.
De data voor de tour lopen momenteel tot en met 21 oktober maar ik lees geruchten dat er sprake van is dat ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ wel eens de opvolger van ‘We Will Rock You’ in het Dominion Theatre zou kunnen ziin. We wachten af.

The Really Useful Group and AEG Live today announce the first ever UK arena tour of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary rock classic Jesus Christ Superstar.
Award-winning musical comedian Tim Minchin - also the co-writer of West End smash musical Matilda - is confirmed for the role of ‘Judas Iscariot’. Three million album selling pop icon and former Spice Girl Melanie C will take the only female lead as ‘Mary Magdalene’, and BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast Show host Chris Moyles will make his major stage debut as ‘King Herod’, in what is set to be one of the biggest and most impressive arena tours to hit the UK.
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.
Celebrating 40 years since it first opened in London’s West End, the Jesus Christ Superstar arena tour kicks off in London on 21 September before visiting Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham, Belfast, Dublin, Liverpool and Nottingham. The tour culminates in Sheffield on 21 October.
