When Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar exploded onto the stage in 1971, it changed the world of musical theatre forever.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s brilliant score includes Jesus Christ Superstar, Heaven On Their MindsWhat’s the Buzz?, and Mary Magdalene’s Everything’s Alright and I Don’t Know How to Love Him.

This, the greatest story ever told, is based on the last week of Jesus’s life, the plot highlights the political and personal struggles between Jesus and Judas. TPC favourite Gale Edwards is directing this rock masterpiece. She has directed Jesus Christ Superstar on London’s West End and on Broadway. And in 2000, Gale won an Emmy Award for the televised recording of her production.
