Clone of Jesus Christ Superstar
Jesus Christ Superstar is the theatrical experience of 2024. A story for and of our times, guaranteed to make you think.
In a new, epic version by internationally acclaimed director Ivo van Hove and featuring a star-studded cast including Jeangu Macrooy (Jesus), Freek Bartels (Judas), Edwin Jonker (Pilate), Alex Klaasen (King Herod), Magtel de Laat (Mary Magdalene) and the best talents from home and abroad. The unforgettable lyrics and music of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber - together with a live orchestra - form the basis for this theatre spectacle sung entirely in English.
The story
The story that has been leading in much of the world for centuries and seems hugely topical just now is coming to Dutch theatres. Jesus Christ Superstar is about a group of people who want to change the world. And how that ends in the greatest movement ever. A performance about worship and betrayal. Glorification and slander. Power and rebellion. But above all: a story of hope. More than 20 songs from the original 1970 album form the foundation of this iconic performance.
Super Seats: become part of the happening
Jesus Christ Superstar feels like a true happening. Be immersed and overwhelmed by the industrial design, an unadulterated concert feel and a unique setting. Intense and close. The circular stage feels like an arena, where you can even literally become part of the story. Opt for one of the 171 Super Seats, which allow you to sit on stage, where the story unfolds around you. Enter between the wings, stand face to face with a living work of art and get sucked into the experience! Or choose one of the other seats in the auditorium and be challenged by a performance you won't soon forget.
