A Brisbane season has been announced as part of the Australian tour of the award-winning Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar. The production will play at the Lyric Theatre, QPAC from June 2025, following seasons in Sydney, Perth and Melbourne.

After earning a Tony Award nomination for the music and lyrics he wrote for BEETLEJUICE, Eddie Perfect will star as the most mischievous corpse in the history of musicals when he takes on the title role in the Australian premiere playing exclusively in Melbourne. 

The otherworldly comedy will begin performances on 7 May 2025 at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne.

Malthouse Theatre has launched its 2025 season heralding a year of epic theatrics, lush music theatre, in-your-face drama, virtuosic horror and uplifting joy. Unveiling seven productions by Australian and international theatre makers, more than ever, Malthouse is committed to making sure the arts are accessible to more people, more often.

“For me, the magic of theatre lies in the shared experience of sitting in an audience,” says Anne-Louise Sarks Artistic Director & Co-Ceo of the MTC.

“Whether it’s laughing with the person beside you, or joining in a collective gasp, or getting lost in the power of a transformative story – those reactions are what I love.
