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.

by Kat Mokrynski - Jul 22, 2026

Later this month, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre will be playing host to the Jellicle Ball, as the hotly anticipated revival of CATS comes to the stage. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Rachael Wooding, who is returning to the show that was her first job out of drama school, this time playing the iconic role of Grizabella. We discussed what it’s been like returning to CATS, how it feels to be in a reworked production of the beloved work and what she hopes audiences take away from the show.

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.
