Written by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sir Tim Rice in 1970, the musical tells the story of Jesus’s last days on earth and his crucifixion.
In a letter to Warwick School, Sir Tim said: “I wish the cast and crew every success in their production of Jesus Christ Superstar and I’m grateful to them for digging up one of my favourite relics.”
