What a night. A true spectacle from beginning to end. We had high expectations of this show and were not disappointed.
Tim Minchin as Judas was as expected a formidable character on stage. Mel C portrayed a gentle presence singing beautifully as Mary Magdalene. Moyles provided a welcome jovial break as Herod, or was he playing himself!
Ben Forster aka Jesus singing Gethsemane was the truly exceptional moment of the show, you could of heard a pin drop in the audience,beautiful, incredible, amazing.
The cast received a well deserved standing ovation at the end of the show, with the appearance of Lord Webber in person to say a few words.
One wish........that we had tickets to go again!!!

Great show, would thoroughly recomend it. I had my doubts about whether they could get the emotion across in such a large arena, but they succeded, i saw people wiping tears from their eyes, myself included, and the cast got a standing ovation at the end.
The modern production, using last years riots and the banking crisis as the backdrop was spot on and very appropriate to the story of Jesus.
Tim Minchin and Ben Forster were brilliant as Judas and Jesus.
The music was true to the original, played live by a band on the set, it sounded heavier and more rocky.

I was concerned about the size of the venue and the enormous crowd but the production was designed excatly for this. The exaggerated highly visual production techniques used a large screen at the rear of the stage and creative use of this screen for story telling - not just magnification of the cast - should ensure that everyone who sees this arena show could share the experience.

Tim Minchin was absolutely fantastic as Judas. Ben Forster was also an excellent Jesus. THe Herod song is a very light moment in the production and the use of Molyes and the situation created for his scene was fantastically entertaining.

Judas's hanging scene was very well enacted. Also Pilate singing while on a cool down from having been out jogging was a perfectly created emotional scene to show how dismissive he was to the Jesus 'problem' and how he wanted to avoid invovlement in any decison making.

Excellently performed show.

We saw Jesus Christ Superstar at Radio Metro Arena, Newcastle. We were so disappointed. It just did not come across properly in the arena. The singing was dreadful, "the scenery" was none existent! It just didnt work! Complete mess. The only highlight was Chris Moyles (strange but true!), What a let down. Cannot believe ALW put his name to this!

Saw this show at the end of September in Manchester and left after the first half as extremely disappointed. The sound was terrible, far too loud, and we couldn't make out the words of the song let alone what the show was actually about. However, Mel C stood out with her performance of "I Don't Know How to Love Him". Apart from that I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone.

Jesus Christ Superstar was absolutely amazing. Tim Minchen was brilliant as Judas, and Mel C was amazing, and sang a truly beautiful version of I Don't know how to love him. Ben Forster was fantastic as well, and really hope he gets cast in more roles.
The staging was perfect, and I don't usually like it when stories get modernised, but it really fit well, and I preferred it for the modernisation.
Fantastic. I'm buying the blu-ray as soon as it's out.

Jesus Christ Superstar - didn't like the modern day interpretation, much prefered the original setting. Volume of the sound too loud in the arena and much of the singing was loud and "shoutey". Restricted view of stage due to speakers and lights, (although these were expensive seats!). I felt the venue unsuitable, should have been staged in a theatre. This was more like an aircraft hanger!

I've seen most West End shows but I've never seen anything that comes anywhere near to being as good as Jesus Christ Superstar. I have to admit that I was sceptical about it being in an arena as it could have lost some of it's impact but I needn't have worried. The staging was fantastic and the use of the screen was exceptionally clever. The fact that the director chose to use themes from modern life (the twitter comments on screen etc) brought the whole thing up to date without diluting the message. The singing was first class. Tim Minchin was astounding and , even though I wasn't a fan of the Spice Girls) Mel C was brilliant as well. A brilliant night.

Fantastic show and great to see Andrew Lloyd Webber's vision come to life. I saw the West End stage version, which was also great, but this was very different as warned - modern, loud, busy and total rock!. It took me a couple of songs to settle but then I was carried away. The whole cast were excellent and the vocals were sensational. Mel C held the stage during her solo and I would have paid the ticket money just to hear Ben Forster's Gethsename alone. Amazing and show stopping. The Lord himself - ALW - taking the stage at the end to make his thank you speech just topped off a fantastic night.

We really enjoyed the show in the Liverpool Echo. The adaptation and slight re arrangement of the show really worked. Although it took a little time to get used to the staging, it was definitely the right way forward. The lead roles were excellent, superb acting and singing. Special mention to Pontious Pilot. Wonderful singing. It was not perfect but it didn't matter. the imperfections were small and in no way detracted from a wonderful evening.

This was the worst show I have ever seen. It started late( with no explanation) it was then on for forty five mins before a thirty five min break. There was so much screeching it was so awful. The tickets cost 51 pounds each. What a waste of money.

Ben was outstanding as was Pilate and the High Priest with the deep voice! Tim Minchin amazing, but had he got laryngitis? If so well done for carrying on and hope the voice is recovered now. I thought Mel C was brilliant - good choice Andrew! Also may I please mention the programme - the designer needs a medal as big as a frying pan!
I have told everyone how good the show was I would certainly see it again and again and again........!
Will order DVD preview now
Thanks to all of you involved from the lighting techs......absolutely brilliant - literally to sound.
A wonderful, wonderful show. I loved it!

The look was fresh, bringing the story right up to modern day using references from very recent events around the world. The music, un-touched, but for some minor adjustments, more to accomodate the vocal ease of the cast than a gratuitous fiddle about! The sound was perfect.... Lead voices, audible. Chorus line, audible. Backing musicians, audible. Nothing over done, nothing underdone. Sensory and emotional perfection. There HAVE to be more dates announced very soon so that the rest of the world can benefit from this brilliant show - Thank you to each and every person involved.
