Andrew Lloyd Webber's hunt to find an actor to play Jesus in his forthcoming stadium tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, will begin broadcasting Saturday 7th July 2012 on ITV1. The new reality show is named 'Superstar'.
The judging panel includes Dawn French, Jason Donovan and of course the one and only Andrew Lloyd Webber. To make the programme a little more stagey, Amanda Holden will present the live shows.
The tour kicks off at London’s O2 Arena on 21/22 September, before visiting: Glasgow SECC (25 September), Newcastle Metro Radio Arena (28 September), Manchester Arena (30 September), Cardiff Motorpoint (2 October), Birmingham NIA (4 October), Belfast Odyssey (9 October), Dublin O2 (12 October), Liverpool Echo Arena (16 October) and Sheffield Motorpoint (21 October).
Initial auditions took place across the country from February to March in London, Dublin, Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow and Cardiff. Applicants performed on stage in the hope of impressing the casting panel for a place in the final live shows.
The first episode of Superstar will air on 7 July at 7:25pm on ITV1.
