The Experience

The box office line at Theatre Royal Drury Lane moves slower than you'd expect for a show that's been running since October, and honestly, that's the first sign you're about to see something people actually want to be in the room for. Jesus Christ Superstar — Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera that basically rewrote what a musical could be — lands here through January 2027, and it's the kind of production that makes you understand why the queue wraps around Covent Garden. Sam Ryder, the Eurovision singer who somehow became a West End lead, plays Jesus, and the whole thing is directed by Tim Sheader, who staged it first at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre before it moved to the Palladium and now here.

What gets you walking in is the music — "I Don't Know How to Love Him," "Gethsemane," "Superstar" — songs that have lived in people's heads for fifty years, and hearing them live with a full rock band and an actual orchestra underneath changes how you hear them. The production doesn't apologize for what it is: there's pyrotechnics, theatrical smoke, an onstage crucifixion scene, flashing lights. It's not quiet or subtle. The staging is striking enough that critics have called it "gorgeous, thrilling, heavenly," which is the kind of thing you don't usually hear about a show that's this old and this familiar. The choreography won an Olivier Award, and you feel it the moment the ensemble moves.

Your reserved seat is included with the ticket, so you're not hunting for your row once you're inside. The theatre sits near Covent Garden Tube station — Temple and Covent Garden are both walkable — and there's no mucking about with general admission or standing room. If you're bringing anyone under 15, they need an adult with them, and kids under 4 aren't admitted, which keeps the room focused on the people who came to listen. The show runs roughly two and a half hours with an interval, and it's the kind of thing that sticks with you after the lights come up.
