JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR to Play Birmingham Hippodrome This November

Directed by the unstoppable Bob Tomson and Bill Kenwright, the duo behind Evita (in the West End and on tour) and Blood Brothers. This new production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's ground-breaking rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar will be at Birmingham Hippodrome from Monday 2 to Saturday 7 November 2015, as part of its current UK tour.

His extensive musical theatre credits include leading roles in Whistle Down the Wind, LES MISERABLES, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Godspell and Merrily We Roll Along.

Australian star Tim Rogers plays Judas Iscariot.
