Jesus Christ Superstar

Book Jesus Christ Superstar tickets in London

Jesus Christ Superstar, the rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, transfers to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane from 16 October 2026 to 9 January 2027. Sam Ryder stars as Jesus, with Tyrone Huntley returning as Judas. Choose your date and official seats on the Jesus Christ Superstar tickets page on British Theatre.

Tim Sheader’s Olivier-winning Regent’s Park staging brings the last days of Jesus, told through Judas’s eyes, into one of the West End’s grandest lyric houses. Expect the score’s famous numbers, including Gethsemane, I Don’t Know How to Love Him and Superstar, in a production built for rock-concert energy rather than a quiet night in.

What the evening feels like at Theatre Royal Drury Lane

Plan for about 90 minutes with no interval, so dinner before or after is easy to schedule. The sound is loud and physical, the storytelling is urgent, and the Drury Lane auditorium gives the staging scale. The Theatre Royal Drury Lane sits on Catherine Street in Covent Garden, a short walk from Covent Garden and Holborn stations, with plenty of places to eat nearby.

Practical tips before you go
