Jesus Christ Superstar was the first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage. The show opened on 12 October 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre, New York, with the London production opening on 9 August 1972.
Featuring plenty of iconic songs, including I Don't Know How to Love Him, this new production is a must for all lovers of 20th century music theatre at its best.

Kris is privileged to be working with Scottish Ballet this month, appearing as Lord Montague in the World Premiere of Krzysztof Pastor’s Romeo and Juliet at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre.

Musical Chairs
11th March, 2008
Following a successful run of Jekyll and Hyde at The King’s Theatre last week, Kris is this week appearing in Musical Chairs at Gilmorehill G12. It is hoped this short embryo production by new writer Graham Duffy will later premiere as a full scale musical, telling of the heartache of three women who are diagnosed with breast cancer.
Jekyll and Hyde
17th February, 2008
Rehearsals are now gearing up for the forthcoming production of Jekyll and Hyde at The King’s Theatre, Glasgow in two weeks. There are still good tickets available for most performances - please contact Kris if you’d like to place a ticket booking asap.
Kris Haddow is a Scottish actor and playwright based in Glasgow, who regularly performs in plays and musicals at some of the city's most vibrant theatres. He trains vocally with David Blackwood, and is a former pupil of Derek Rangecroft, mbe.
Kris's favourite venue is The King's Theatre, where he has performed in many major musical productions. Principal roles include Simon Stride in Jekyll & Hyde, Perchik in Fiddler on the Roof, The Kralahome in The King and I, Andrew Carnes in Oklahoma!, Gremio/Jack in Kiss Me Kate, Apostle in Jesus Christ Superstar, Willie in Copacabana, the tap-dancing Footman in Me and My Girl, a singing Fisherman in La Cage aux Folles, Louis/Goon/Kop in Mack & Mabel, Noah Claypole in three successive seasons of Oliver! (2000-2002), and a Supernumerary when the national tour of Evita visited the King's in 2008.
At Gilmorehill G12 in Glasgow's West End, Kris has appeared as Benny in Rent, Young Ben in Follies, Pish Tush in The Mikado, and Bosun in Return to the Forbidden Planet (in which he also played trombone), a role he reprised for one night only at the Waterford Theatre Royal in Ireland. He also performed at G12 in excerpts from Musical Chairs, a new musical written and directed by Graham Duffy.
Kris has also acted in a number of plays, appearing as Guy Jones in A Chorus of Disapproval and Mr Kelvil, M.P. in A Woman of No Importance at the Eastwood Park Theatre, Gerald Croft in An Inspector Calls at the Cottier Theatre, Freddy Eynsford-Hill in Pygmalion, Alec Morrison in Men Should Weep, Ewan Tavendale in Sunset Song, Mort Hollender in California Suite, and Reg Stringer/Aunt Lillian in Strike Up The Banns - all staged at the Village Theatre, and Charlie Martin in On Golden Pond at Kidston Hall.
In 2003, Kris appeared as Dancaire/Reme in the World Première of A Carmen, the launch production of a new 246 seat performing arts venue in Australia. The Byron Bay Theatre Company production boasted a mix of theatrical styles, based on Merimee's Carmen and Nabokov's novel Invitation to a Beheading, with music influenced by the Bizet opera. Whilst Down Under, he began training in the Japanese art of Butoh with renowned choreographer Cheryl Heazlewood, and has since devised two new works named Surprises and Raising The Bar, which he hopes to stage soon in Scotland.
A keen soloist, Kris won the Songs From The Shows class at Dumfries Music Festival in the millennium year, and performed at The Theatre Royal, Dumfries in 2002. He also sang in The Sound of His Music at The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, hosted to celebrate Richard Rodgers' centennial year in association with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Kris also sings with a number of concert parties and charitable groups, so look out for him at a local venue near you.
Earlier stage credits include Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, Prince Chulalongkorn in The King and I, Kurt in The Sound of Music and Willie in the Scottish play The De'ils Bargain whilst at school, as well as a host of roles from Prince to Genie in local pantomime.
In addition to voiceovers for TV and radio, supporting work has included Jury Foreman in Garrow's Law for the BBC, the short film Marcie's Dowry for the BBC's Tartan Shorts series, Series 2 of the cult drama Sea of Souls, and filming for an annual NHS Health Scotland advertising campaign which promotes positive awareness of breastfeeding.
