Jesus Christ Superstar

A third Sydney show has just been announced for Sunday June 9. Tickets will be on sale Monday 15 April at 9am!

The all-new arena version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar is descending from the heavens and landing on Sydney's Entertainment Centre with an all-star cast, a killer rock'n'roll creative team and – look I'm going to call it – the best song ever written in 5/4.

Oh, and a big promise of being darned spectacular. (It is in the title, after all.)

Famed musical atheist Tim Minchin will be playing good ol' Judas Iscariot (see what the casting people did there?) alongside former Sporty Spice Melanie C as Mary Magdalene and reality television show winner Ben Forster playing the titular Christ.

And lo – Deal or No Deal star Andrew O'Keefe provides comic relief as King Herod and Jon Stevens returns to the musical, after 18 years, for the role of Pontius Pilate.

The show will only be making a stop in Sydney for two nights before continuing on its way – the international tour's equivalent of the Stations of the Cross perhaps. Amen!
