LONDON SCORES FIFTH DATE FOR

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR ARENA TOUR

NEW DATE ADDED AT WEMBLEY ARENA ON 17 OCTOBER

Continuing what has been a summer of celebrations, London has even more reason to cheer as AEG Live and The Really Useful Group proudly announce that a FIFTH London date has been added to one of the biggest UK tours of 2012 - the brand new arena production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s phenomenal, Jesus Christ Superstar.

Following four shows at The O2, Londoners will now get another chance to witness the legendary rock musical LIVE as it heads to Wembley Arena. Tim Minchin, Melanie C, Chris Moyles and Ben Forster will take to the Wembley Arena stage on Wednesday 17 October performing a spectacular production of the show which includes the hit songs, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Hosanna” and “Superstar”. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 17 August through www.jesuschristsuperstar.com

The addition of Wembley Arena means over 60,000 people in the capital will now see Jesus Christ Superstar which has taken over £6 million in advance booking sales to date.

A total of 74,000 people will see the show in its opening week, a world record for musical theatre.

The tour opens at The O2 in London on Friday 21 September before embarking on a 21 date nation tour culminating at Sheffield Motorpoint Arena on Sunday 21 October.
