Jesus Christ Superstar has blazed into The Watermill Theatre this summer, pulling its audiences into a thrilling, semi-immersive revival of ALW and Tim Rice’s legendary rock opera. Set across both the intimate stage and the surrounding gardens, this actor-musician production brings raw emotion and iconic music to the story of Jesus, Judas and the final days leading to the crucifixion, all seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. We are immensely proud of David Woodhead (Set & Costume Designer) for his extraordinary set and costume designs on this epic reimagining.
