LADOS meet charity mascot during rehearsals at Lancaster Grand

Along with Rosie was her ‘keeper’ Dr Alison Birtle (who is in the show) and Julie Hesmondhalgh the area fundraising co-ordinator, Lancaster and the South Lakes, who also came to watch the rehearsal.

The Rosemere Foundation is the chosen charity for LADOS this year in memory of a past member Roger Bradley.

Roger was a very talented and respected member of LADOS who played the part of Jesus of Nazareth in their 1996 production.

Sadly Roger died in 2007 from a cancerous melanoma at the age of 42.

There will be a bucket collection each night at the theatre and proceeds of the Wednesday night raffle will be donated to the charity when Julie will also be in attendance.

A global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for more than 40 years, Jesus Christ Superstar is a set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot following the last week of Christ’s life.

The iconic 1970s rock score contains such well-known numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “Gethsemane.”

Jesus Christ Superstar, will run from Tuesday, May 7 to Saturday, May 11, with performances at 7.30pm nightly and 2pm and 7.30pm on Saturday.
