Moyles to star in Lloyd Webber musical

Chris will star as King Herod

Chris Moyles, Mel C and Tim Minchin have all signed up to all star in a rebooted version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Jesus Christ Superstar.

The BBC Radio One DJ will play King Herod in the show, while Sporty Spice Mel will star as Mary Magdalene.

Australian comedian Tim will also appear in the musical as Judas Iscariot.

The lead role is yet to be cast, but Lord Lloyd Webber is hoping to find his perfect person through forthcoming ITV1 reality show, Superstar.

In a statement, Moyles, 38, said:

“To receive a phone call from Andrew is very cool but then when he asks you to be in his musical that’s pretty amazing and there is only one thing to respond with – and that is yes. Absolutely.

“My mum’s gonna be well excited.”

Tickets for the new musical will go on sale on 18 May, with the show scheduled to run from 21 September.
