**An explosive new production** of the ground-breaking rock opera *Jesus Christ Superstar* comes to Eastbourne’s Congress Theatre from Monday 7 – Saturday, September 12.

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s pioneering rock musical, of the last seven days in the life of Jesus Christ through the eyes of Judas Iscariot, changed the face of musical theatre forever and is as compelling today as it was at its Broadway premiere 44 years ago.

**Glenn Carter** returns as Jesus, a role he has played in the West End, on Broadway and on film. His musical theatre credits include leading roles in *Whistle Down The Wind*, *Les Misérables, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Godspell* and *Merrily We Roll Along.*

Australian **Tim Rogers**, playing Judas, made his UK stage debut 15 years ago. His musical theatre credits include The Man in *Whistle Down The Wind* (UK Tour and West End), *West Side Story, Jersey Boys, The Full Monty, Aspects of Love* and the title role in *Jekyll & Hyde* at the Union Theatre. Most recently he starred in *Carousel* at the Arcola Theatre, London.

X Factor finalist **Rachel Adedeji** plays Mary Magdalene direct from the UK and European tour of *Thriller Live*.

The rock opera features some of musical theatre’s most legendary tracks such as *I Don’t Know How To Love Him, Everything’s Alright, Gethsemane* and *Superstar*.

**Bob Tomson** and **Bill Kenwright** have reunited to direct *Jesus Christ Superstar*, a partnership that has seen them at the helm of iconic musicals including *Evita* and *Blood Brothers*; a show they have directed for almost 30 years, scooping up no less than four awards for best musical in London and seven Tony Award nominations on Broadway.
