The ShowThis miraculous rock opera written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice follows the story of Jesus and his disciples in the final week of Jesus's life, told through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. The ground-breaking show features some of musical theatre's most iconic songs including 'I Don't Know How to Love Him', 'Everything's Alright' and the classic, 'Superstar'. Declan Bennett, previous member of the pop/rock group Point Break, stars as Jesus. Joining him will be Tyrone Huntley as Judas Iscariot who previously won the "Evening standard Emerging Talent Award" for his portrayal of the character. David Thaxton and Peter Caulfield will also reprise their roles of Pilate and Herod. After its overwhelming success in 2016, the show returns to "Regent's Park Open Air Theatre" for what promises to be a spectacular evening.
