Jesus Christ Superstar is the theatrical experience of 2024. A story for and of our time, that is guaranteed to get you thinking.

Tickets for Jesus Christ Superstar are flying away and rightly so: wow!

Metro

In an epic version by director Ivo van Hove and with a star cast including Jeangu Macrooy (Jesus), Freek Bartels (Judas), Edwin Jonker (Pilate), Alex Klaasen (King Herod), Magtel de Laat (Mary Magdalene) and the best talents from the Netherlands and abroad. The unforgettable music and lyrics by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber - together with a live orchestra - form the foundation for this theater spectacle sung entirely in English.

The story
The story that has been leading in much of the world for centuries and seems extremely relevant right now, is coming to Dutch theaters. Jesus Christ Superstar is about a group of people who want to change the world. And how that winds up becoming the greatest movement ever. A show about worship and betrayal. Glorification and slander. Power and rebellion. But above all: a story of hope. More than 20 songs from the original 1970 album form the foundation of this iconic performance.

Super Seats: become a part of the happening
Jesus Christ Superstar feels like a true happening. Be immersed and overwhelmed by the industrial design, an unadulterated concert feel and unique setting. Intense and up close. The circular stage feels like an arena, where you can literally become part of the story. Choose one of the 171 Super Seats, which allow you to sit on the stage where the story unfolds around you. Enter between the wings, stand face to face with a living work of art and get sucked into the experience! Or choose one of the other seats in the auditorium and be challenged by a performance you won't soon forget.

Last chance
The Jesus Christ Superstar tour ends in Amare, so this is your last chance to experience this 5-star reviewed theatrical spectacle!

 

Warning
Jesus Christ Superstar contains flashy lighting effects, scenes with film – theater blood and confrontational content.

 

Cloakroom and drink  
Cloakroom and an intermission drink are included. If the event does not have an intermission, you will receive the drink afterwards.
