Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, Starring Sam Ryder
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Jul 7, 2026

Ten years after Tim Sheader's hit version of Jesus Christ Superstar entranced audiences under the stars in Regent's Park, it is back in a much-hyped revival at the London Palladium. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's seminal rock musical was originally released as a concept album in 1970 and features huge rock numbers, lung-bursting ballads and a wealth of earworms. It takes a talented director to create a show from a soundtrack that retains huge appeal, but sometimes lacks personal story arcs. Sheader's engaging staging and a hugely talented cast bring the album powerfully to life.

Review: A LIFE IN FOUR SEASONS, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Cheryl Markosky - Jun 13, 2026

Vivaldi's Four Seasons is one of the most recognised tunes going, thanks to its ubiquity in advertisements, as lift music and hold music (which this piece wittily refers to), so it's difficult to hear it afresh. That's what makes this reinterpretation of it, through an electronic remix by DJ Walde and vibrant new dance production directed by Tinuke Craig and choreographed by Alexzandra Sarmiento, such a distinct pleasure.
