Australian star Tim Rogers made his UK stage debut 15 years ago and
hasn’t looked back since. Tim’s musical theatre credits include The Man in Whistle
Down the Wind (UK Tour and West End), West Side Story, Jersey
Boys, The Full Monty, Aspects of Love and the title role in Jekyll
& Hyde at the Union Theatre. Most recently he starred in Carousel at
the Arcola Theatre London.
X Factor finalist Rachel Adedeji plays
Mary Magdalene direct from the UK and European tour of Thriller Live.
The cast also includes David Burilin, Alistair Lee, Ed Handoll, Andy Barke, Tim
Oxbrow, Richard J Hunt, Johnathan Tweedie, Cellen Chugg Jones, Michael Ward and
Lizzie Ottley.
Bob Tomson and Bill Kenwright reunite to direct Jesus Christ
Superstar, a partnership that has seen them at the helm of iconic musicals
including Evita (in the West End and on tour) and Blood
Brothers; a show they have directed for almost 30 years, scooping up no
less than four awards for best musical in London and seven Tony Award
nominations on Broadway.
Jesus Christ Superstar exploded
onto the musical scene in 1971. Stunning audiences, it changed the face of
musical theatre forever. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock opera tells
the story of the last seven days in the life of Jesus through the eyes of Judas
Iscariot.
As compelling today as it was at its inception over 40 years ago, Jesus
Christ Superstar features some of musical theatre’s most legendary
songs from I Don’t Know How to Love Him, Everything’s Alright,
Gethsemane and Superstar.
