On Tuesday I went to the matinee at the Regents Park Open Air Theatre. I promised myself a return visit when I was last there but that was some 30 years ago!
But I got there finally . . .
'Jesus Christ Superstar' first hit the boards at the Palace Theatre in 1972. I recall that we went as a family at Christmas. This performance was in modern dress in part and traditional dress in other parts - a mix that worked. I had forgotten quite how moving and intense the final scenes are. I came away shattered but with a sense that I had seen and heard something memorable. The players were magnificent.
