The Olivier Award-winning reimagined production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" from The Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre is heading to the Philippine stage this May 2026! As part of its international tour, the sung-through rock opera will be shown at The Theatre at Solaire from May 2 to 24, 2026.
"Jesus Christ Superstar" follows the events leading to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospel accounts of the Passion, the score was written by the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony-winning team of Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Tim Rice (lyrics), with iconic songs such as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane.”
The score was first released as a 1970 concept album, which later paved the way for its Broadway stage debut in 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre. It opened in London at the Palace Theatre in 1972 and ran for eight years.
‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ in Manila is produced by GMG Productions and David Ian for Crossroads Live and Work Light Productions, based on the original production by Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. The production is directed by Timothy Sheader and choreographed by Drew McOnie, design by Tom Scutt, lighting by Lee Curran, sound by Nick Lidster, and music supervision by Tom Deering.
Casting for the Philippine stage will be announced soon. Tickets will go live via TicketWorld on Nov. 8, 2025, with a presale period for UnionBank of the Philippines members from Nov. 3, 10 AM to Nov. 6, 11:59 PM. The GMGP Waitlist Pre-sale starts on Nov. 7, from 10 AM to 11:59 PM.
