Chamber member St Peter's Church will host the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, staged by St Peter's Players, at its Cambridge Road venue in Harrogate for three performances only, from Thursday 19 to Saturday 21 November.
With lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the production is presented by arrangement with LW Entertainment Ltd. It forms part of the church's 150th anniversary celebrations, marking 1876 to 2026.
Since its debut as a concept album in 1970, Jesus Christ Superstar has become one of the best known rock operas of all time, with songs that remain familiar to audiences of every generation.
Performances take place at 7.30pm on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 November, with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm on 21 November. The evening shows offer local businesses a chance to treat teams and clients to a night out in town, while the matinee suits families.
Tickets are £15 for those aged 16 and over. Under 16s go free, although a ticket is still required. Tickets can be booked at ticketsource.co.uk/st-peters-church, and enquiries can be sent to stpetersdramagroup@gmail.com or 07850 409 186.
Martin Mann, Chief Executive of Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce, said:
"It is always a pleasure to promote the work of our members, and a live rock opera on our doorstep is exactly the kind of event that brings people into town and supports the businesses around it. A night at the theatre gives residents and visitors a reason to dine, shop and stay in Harrogate for the evening. With only three performances, and under 16s going free, I would encourage members, their teams and their families to book early."
