The award-winning Regent's Park Open Air Theatre production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar comes to the iconic London Palladium next summer, starring Sam Ryder as Jesus.
Reflecting the rock roots that defined a generation, the legendary score includes ‘I Don’t Know How to Love Him’, ‘Gethsemane’ and the iconic title number ‘Superstar’.
Now featuring a cast of 30, including Sam Ryder as Jesus in his West End debut, the production which was originally created and produced at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, will play for a limited 11-week season at The London Palladium.
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic global phenomenon is directed by Tim Sheader with choreography by Olivier Award-winner Drew McOnie and design by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Tom Scutt.
Sam Ryder said:
“So excited to be part of one of the biggest institutions in musical theatre the world’s ever known at The London Palladium in the West End! I'm honoured to take on this responsibility as I follow in the footsteps of rock vocal titans like Ian Gillan and John Farnham. I can't wait to immerse myself in the word of Jesus Christ Superstar in 2026.”
The Guardian
"Don’t miss your chance to see this “gorgeous, thrilling, heavenly musical.”
The show will play from Saturday 20 June to Saturday 5 September 2026, with a press night scheduled for Tuesday 7 July 2026. Sign up to the Box Five Club for pre-sale access ahead of the general sale!
