The first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for 50 years. Countless amateur and professional groups alike have enabled this timeless work to touch new generations of audiences and performers. But one may be familiar with the album or the film, and (somehow) unaware that the show is produced live frequently every year. One may also be unaware of special JCS-related events featuring stars of the original stage or film casts.
Want to experience the magic of JCS for yourself in a real live theater (or cinema)? Well, look no further! Now, thanks to this page, you will be able to track down performances at a venue near you, with links to buy tickets and learn more about each production (or event) where available.
Support your local JCS, and keep the circle turning!

Public Service Announcements
It is our understanding that certain licensing agencies forbid an amateur presenter from announcing that they are presenting Jesus Christ Superstar until after a set cut-off date. However, this has yet to stop the agency from turning around and prematurely posting a listing on their website, from which we in turn source our knowledge. We have, in the past, posted about such productions before the appointed date and have been privately asked to remove this information. If this has occurred in your case, speak to us immediately, and we will comply. We fail to understand why this continues to be the case, but we are willing to accommodate amateur groups, who are not "the bad guy" here.
Additionally, all event information at links and listed below is subject to change as the world continues to deal with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We aim to keep the info as current as possible, but this is not going to be an exact science. Please bear with us!
Licensing Agents
Below, you’ll find the appropriate contact to license Jesus Christ Superstar in your part of the world. If your licensing affiliate does not include a list of forthcoming amateur or regional productions on their site, you’re welcome to reach out to us through our Facebook page, and we’ll be happy to help promote your event to potential viewers in your region!
Production Listings
This is by no means an exhaustive listing of all current professional (read: first class), regional, or amateur productions of Jesus Christ Superstar. (Especially true in the case of the last type; at one point, all forthcoming amateur productions were listed on the websites of various licensing affiliates, but as of May 2021, this is no longer the case.) If we’ve missed something, you’re welcome to reach out to us through our Facebook page, and we’ll be happy to include it here and help promote your event to potential viewers in your region! But before we get to that info…

National Tour (U.S. / Canada)
In the summer of 2016, a revival of Jesus Christ Superstar was mounted in the UK by the outdoor Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, under the direction of Timothy Sheader. It won the BBC Radio 2 Audience Award for Best Musical at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards and an Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival. The production returned to Regent’s Park as part of the 2017 season, played an indoor summer run at London’s Barbican Centre in 2019, and was performed again outdoors at Regent’s, socially distanced, from late summer to early fall 2020.
It also appeared in the U.S., first in a limited run at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in the spring of 2018 and then as a national tour in the fall of 2019 intending to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original JCS album’s release. In March 2020, the production temporarily shut down due to COVID-19 but resumed performances in September 2021 and played successfully around the U.S. and Canada until it closed in early August 2022.
A non-Equity production began touring in the fall of 2022 with a different cast and “new” (though we assume similar, from the branding and marketing) staging. Though tour dates are posted on the website, linked above, we’ve collected current data — not all of which has been available from the tour site itself, in our experience — and share it here in the interest of information.

Screening Tour
In 2013, promoter Frank Munoz turned to Ted Neeley and said, “Hey, what are you and Barry Dennen doing for the 40th anniversary of Jesus Christ Superstar‘s film release?” Informed there were no plans, he suggested a screening at the legendary Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. If people showed up, awesome; if not, they’d have a few laughs watching the movie themselves as Ted and Baz recounted memories from the set. Boy, were they not prepared for what was in store! One screening at the Chinese mushroomed into two, and then many more across the country.
Each evening typically includes a screening of a newly remastered digital print of JCS, a special appearance by original cast members (more of whom popped out of the woodwork as the tour continued), Q&A and/or a costume contest for fans with cosplay skills, a sing-along, and up-close-and-personal, meet-and-greet face-time with the cast. This tour has seen appearances from not only Ted Neeley and the late Barry Dennen, but also Kurt Yaghjian, Yvonne Elliman, Josh Mostel, Larry Marshall, and even the elusive Bob Bingham. Perhaps their crowning achievement in 2015 was a reunion of the film’s stars and Oscar-winning director Norman Jewison at the Beekman Theatre in NYC, documented in the film SuperstarS. Not even a pandemic slowed them down; Frank has joked that every time they played the last dates on their schedule at the time of the initial COVID-19 outbreak, the city shut down almost immediately following.
After a single screening in Boston in fall 2021 and a successful return engagement of live performances of JCS in Italy in 2022, Ted Neeley (and friends, when available) returns to the continental U.S. (licensing issues currently prevent screenings elsewhere) with the ongoing celebration of this beloved film. All the most up-to-date info can be found at the link above, but we will include dates, ticket info, and the appearances of additional cast members (subject to change) here as well! (See below.)
A personal request from JCS Zone: as any longtime fan will tell you, the original cast — and Ted in particular — is very hands-on with fans, as in “hugs are usually a given.” We don’t want to risk our heroes’ health and safety over a movie we’ve seen countless times. Vaccinated or unvaccinated, in this time of ongoing health emergencies, please be mindful of this, follow all protocols requested by Team Neeley or the venue(s), and do the smart thing — stay home and catch them next time — if you test positive. Thank you!
