AFTER breaking box office records, Jesus Christ Superstar is returning to the Metro- Radio Arena on Tuesday, March 26.

The Really Useful Group and AEG Live were keen to put Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary rock classic back on the road after receiving overwhelming praise during its inaugural UK run this year. Performances were seen by more than 150,000 people, breaking previous audience records with 74,000 fans seeing the show on its opening weekend.

Cast members returning include award-winning Tim Minchin as Judas Iscariot, Spice Girl Melanie C as Mary Magdalene and Chris Moyles as King Herod. Winner of ITV’s Superstar reality contest, Ben Forster, again takes the title role of Jesus.

Andrew Lloyd Webber says: “The first UK arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar surpassed our expectations.

The response from audiences across the UK and Ireland was overwhelming and the show was everything I had hoped for. It’s great news that fans will have a final chance to see the show with the original arena tour cast.”
