Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus Christ Superstar
3 day holiday - Thursday 29th February 2024


Highlights...

Jesus Christ Superstar at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley

The Cutty Sark, Greenwich
Eltham Palace 

 


It is hard to believe that the musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ is now over 50 years old! Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, the show was first staged on Broadway in 1971 and tells the story of the struggle between Judas and Jesus. Judas is unhappy about the way in which Jesus leads the disciples and fears that they may be seen as a threat by the leaders of the Roman Empire. The musical contains many familiar songs, the best known probably being, ‘I don’t know how to love him’, sung by Mary Magdalene towards the end of the first act. 




During our visit to this part of London, the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we will be visiting some of the most well-known landmarks in the area. Situated on the South Bank of the River Thames, Greenwich has a wealth of maritime history. We will start our day in Greenwich with a tour of the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College. Designed in the early 18th century by Sir James Thornhill, the Painted Hall features 40,000 square feet of Baroque walls and ceilings, all of which are covered in striking images, depicting 200 different figures including kings, queens and creatures from mythology. This beautiful place is often known as Britain’s Sistine Chapel.


The Clarendon Hotel Blackheath


We will be staying at the Clarendon Hotel, on the edge of Blackheath in South East London. With uninterrupted views of Blackheath towards Royal Greenwich Park, this Georgian Hotel is both grand and welcoming with its relaxed, yet efficient style. The hotel is ideally situated for our visits to the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, Eltham Palace and Greenwich. All rooms combine modern comfort with contemporary elegance. The Crown double rooms have elegant décor and furnishings with a double bed, a desk, tea and coffee making facilities, a flat-screen TV, free WiFi, a private bathroom, a hairdryer and 24-hour room service. Please let us know on booking, if you need a room near a lift. . The hotel has the fabulous ‘Goffers’ bar in which to relax, and the newly refurbished Meridian restaurant, serving British cuisine in very pleasant surroundings. The 3-course dinner each night includes two glasses of house wine, beer or soft drinks. e
