With lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, an upcoming West End show at Ipswich Regent Theatre is sure to delight audiences as it takes to the stage later this month. 

Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock musical that spent eight years on the London stage in the 1970s. 

With hit songs Superstar, Heaven on Their Minds and Gethsemane, the production charts the final days of Jesus through the eyes of Judas.

Now, images have been released that tease the drama of the upcoming adaptation.
