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.
