Performances of Jesus Christ Superstar tour rescheduled

The first night performances of Jesus Christ Superstar at the New Wimbledon Theatre, Hall for Cornwall in Truro and the Kings Theatre Glasgow have been rescheduled.

At these venues the Monday performances have been replaced with extra mid-week matinees. The opening night at the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne has been cancelled without adding an extra matinee.

Ticket holders for the affected Monday performance have been offered full refunds or exchanges.

The dates are part of a new UK tour, produced by Bill Kenwright, which opens in Llandudno on 1 September. Other venues include Newcastle, Oxford and Birmingham.

Steve Potts, of production company Bill Kenwright Ltd, said: "Occasionally, schedule alterations are necessary in order to accommodate, for example, logistical matters and non-availabilities. Such changes are always agreed with the theatre in advance, and customers are always offered the choice of an alternative performance or a full refund.

"In the case of Wimbledon, Glasgow and Truro, the Monday evening was replaced with an extra mid-week matinee, and the original eight-show schedule was maintained. In Eastbourne no additional Matinee has been added. I'm pleased to say our visit to these theatres forms part of the production's successful year-long schedule, including a ground-breaking summer season across Germany, which has already resulted in the production being invited back to play a second consecutive year."

The cast features Glenn Carter as Jesus, Tim Rogers as Judas Iscariot and X Factor finalist Rachel Adedeji as Mary Magdalene.
