Pieter Toerien Productions present on all-South African production of the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber hit musical Jesus Christ Superstar.
It originally opened on Broadway in 1971 and in the United Kingdom the following year. By the time it closed, eight years and 3?358 performances later, it had become the longest-running musical in West End history. It has since played all over the world and been filmed twice.

Twenty-three years on they are as fresh and witty as ever. Their latest entertainment, Hot Cross Nuns, sports some old favourites such as Cotton Fields and Pachelbel’s Canon in D, as well as a new and hilarious rendition of My Fair Lady’s On the Street Where You Live. The show is directed by Bo Petersen and choreographed by Fiona du Plooy.
