A thrilling rock opera based on the last week of Jesus’ life, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. The musical is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.

Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.

Some rooms change everything.

On April 25, 2026, the co-learners who heard "there's nothing more we can do" and kept searching will be in the same room. The caregivers who advocated when oncologists said no. The providers who chose the harder path.

This is that room.

In this delightfully punny melodrama, the heroine is tied to the bell tower and the clock is ticking... literally. Unknown to its proprietor, clocksmith Justin Tyme, the old clock shop holds a secret vault loaded with gems and jewels. But, of course, the scoundrel Fohwell Spoyler knows the truth of what’s hidden on the property.

Plotting ways to get his hands on those riches occupies his every thought, but that’s not all he has his eyes set on. He’s also after the clockmaker’s sister, the lovely Isabelle Tyme. Alas, she only has eyes for the upstanding Sheriff Goodlah and refuses Fohwell’s advances.

So what’s a villain to do? He kidnaps her and ties her to the bell tower which will soon strike the hour... and the end of Isabelle Tyme. Meanwhile, Fohwell plans to rob the clock shop while the entire town searches for the fair Isabelle. Will Isabelle be saved before it’s too late? Only time will tell!
