Initial casting is today announced for the UK tour of the Olivier Award-winning reimagined production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s celebrated musical Jesus Christ Superstar coming to the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford from Monday 27 November - Saturday 2 December 2023.

Ian McIntosh (We Will Rock You, Follies, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical - Olivier nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical) will play Jesus, Shem Omari James (Dreamgirls UK Tour) will play Judas and Hannah Richardson (Sting’s The Last Ship) plays Mary. Further casting to be announced.

Produced by David Ian for Crossroads Live and Work Light Productions who present the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre production, Jesus Christ Superstar embarks on a 2023/24 UK tour opening at Manchester’s Palace Theatre from 11 September 2023.

Featuring lyrics and music by Emmy, GRAMMY, Oscar and Tony winners Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, this production was reimagined by London’s Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre where it originated and is helmed by director Timothy Sheader and choreographer Drew McOnie. Completing the creative team is design by Tom Scutt, lighting design by Lee Curran, sound design by Nick Lidster and music supervision by Tom Deering.

A global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for decades, Jesus Christ Superstar's iconic 1970s rock score was originally released as a concept album and opened on Broadway in 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre. The original London production ran for over eight years. By the time it closed, after 3,358 performances, it had become the longest-running musical in West End history at that time.

Jesus Christ Superstar has been reproduced regularly around the world in the years since its first appearance, with performances including a Broadway revival in 2012, an ITV competition TV show called Superstar that led to casting Ben Forster as Jesus in an arena tour of the show, and a production at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre celebrating 45 years since the musical’s Broadway debut.

Jesus Christ Superstar is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary series of events during the final weeks in the life of Jesus Christ, as seen through the eyes of Judas. Reflecting the rock roots that defined a generation, the legendary score includes I Don’t Know How to Love Him, Gethsemane and Superstar.

This production of Jesus Christ Superstar won the 2017 Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival and the 2016 Evening Standard Award for Best Musical, selling out two consecutive engagements in 2016 and 2017. The production played a West End engagement at the Barbican in 2019 before returning to Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in concert version during the summer of 2020. The UK Tour runs in tandem with the hugely successful North America tour of the production which has to date played over 700 performances in over 90 venues since the tour opened in October 2019.

The 2023-2024 UK Tour of Jesus Christ Superstar is produced by David Ian for Crossroads Live and Work Light Productions. The original production was produced by London's Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.

    When it comes to talking about your products or services, printed materials are a great solution, especially custom brochures, the size, quality and content of which you can choose yourself. There are various online printing services, but I recommend Printsafari https://www.printsafari.com/us_en/custom-booklet-printing-services . By the way, you can order a small edition, but the booklets may cost a little more.

    As of my last update in January 2022, ">Reddy Anna" doesn't appear to be a specific product or brand that I'm familiar with, so I can't provide information on its legality. However, if it's a product or service being marketed or sold, its legality would depend on various factors such as compliance with relevant laws and regulations in the region where it's being marketed or used. It's essential to verify the legitimacy of any product or service before purchasing or using it. If you have specific concerns about the legality of "Reddy Anna," I'd recommend consulting legal experts or relevant authorities for accurate information.
