JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR – in Concert

The story of Easter in a rock version

This legendary rock opera by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is, without any exaggeration, a milestone in the history of musical theater. Since its premiere in 1971, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR has thrilled millions of audiences worldwide - and has lost none of its fascination to this day. The lyrics by Tim Rice are based on the liturgy and, together with the unmistakable music, allow the audience to immerse themselves in the life of Jesus of Nazareth in a highly emotional way.

Revival of a dream team

In 2026, the popular stars Drew Sarich and Serkan Kaya celebrate a reunion after many years in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. The staged concert version by Lukas Perman focuses strongly on the musical and emotional dimension of the masterpiece. Drew Sarich has been celebrated for his role as Jesus, which is tailor-made for him and his voice, in a wide variety of productions. The US-American has been at home in Europe for many years and is known internationally from numerous leading roles in German-speaking countries and as a West End and Broadway star.

First-class cast

The role of the antagonist Judas is played by musical and TV star Serkan Kaya. Musical audiences remember him best as the legendary Lucheni in Elisabeth, as Galileo in We will rock you and as Udo in Hinterm Horizont. In recent years, he has advanced as an actor and TV and series star on German television and has received several awards - including the Grimme Prize and the German Acting Award 2021. The two leading actors and the cast will be accompanied by an 11-piece live band.
