Very poor form to be cancelling their March date with 5 weeks notice.

"Due to circumstances beyond their control RUG and AEG are rescheduling the "Jesus Christ Superstar" arena tour, dates originally planned for March.

This is largely due to the enormous demand across the Globe with tours in Australia, Europe and USA to be announced soon."

I find the reason they give very hard to believe. Maybe I'm just a cynic

It's poor sales and casting issues.... Typical Webber,

That sucks for Ben Foster who I assume was leaving Rocky Horror to do this again, and now his role has been recast in Rocky I guess he is now without a job

[Princeton Returns]

casting maybe an issue because they pissed off minchin

THANK YOU, Tim Minchin, for once again people someone who was stepped on and put Andrew Lloyd A**whipe in his place.

I have bootlegs of Tim in the role and he sounds AWESOME. And then Sir A**hole decided to (badly) autotune him to DEATH on the official recording. To the point where it’s almost unlistenable. To make Minchin sound like a bad pop star.

Webber has proven for the past 15 years that he has no idea what to do with Jesus Christ Superstar.

Now Andrew has pissed off Patti LuPone and Tim Minchin, two of the most talented people in their field. And it’s because Andrew is a narcosis and a sociopath.

But I guess that’s what egotist do, alienate themselves from everyone.

from what i can gather it doesnt take much to piss off patti lupone!! Take many times where she stopped the show during the gypsy run!!and the sunset time when she threw a chair out of her dressing room window!! the woman is off her rocker!!!

Crucified!
