THE New Theatre, Cardiff is set to welcome a star-studded performance of Jesus Christ Superstar later this month.

Jesus Christ Superstar exploded onto the musical scene in 1971 - stunning audiences and changing the face of musical theatre forever.

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera tells the story of the last seven days in the life of Jesus through an extraordinary, groundbreaking score.

As compelling today as it was at its inception over forty years ago, Jesus Christ Superstar has some of musical theatre's most legendary songs from I Don't Know How to Love Him, Everything's Alright, and Gethsemane through to, of course, Superstar.

Produced by Bill Kenwright and the creative team behind numerous blockbuster musicals, Jesus Christ Superstar tells the world's oldest story with the superb theatricality they have brought to Evita, Joseph, Cabaret, Blood Brothers and Whistle Down the Wind to mention only a few.

Starring Glen Carter as Jesus, Rhydian Roberts as Pontius Pilate, Rachel Adedeji as Mary Magdalene and Tim Rogers as Judas, the show runs from Monday to Saturday, January 26 to 31.
