After casting Tim as Judas in the UK arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber, is launching the search for Tim’s nemesis, Jesus, with his new TV casting show, Superstar!
Auditions have taken place across the country in London, Dublin, Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow and Cardiff. Melanie C and Jason Donovan joined Andrew during the early stages of the talent search and assisted as contender numbers were whittled down to the final ten who will go through to the live shows for you, the public, to decide who will play the key role of Jesus.
If you want to tune in see who Tim might be betraying this autumn, here are the broadcast details for the first three shows:

I have always wanted to watch the movie.. I own the vinyl and great soundtrack I must say. I saw this post and it convinced me I had to watch it immediately. I’m 10 minutes in and it is amazing! I would so love to see Tim’s version as I’m sure it will be a million times even more amazing!

Ask Sam and his Mum, they’ve already found Jesus.

In that search for Cheeses (or Jesus as you call him), would it be possible to make the time to find even one pair of notes that ALW has not nicked from elsewhere?

You can find him up on a pole, somewhere in the Middle East, AFAIK.
