The complete cast for Jesus Christ Superstar at the 2018 Charlottetown Festival has been announced.
Island-actor Aaron Hastelow has been cast as Jesus Christ in the Adam Brazier-directed production.
Lee Siegel will be playing Judas. While this will be Siegel's festival debut, it will be his fifth time in a production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's rock opera and Gillis has experience acting across Canada, including several seasons with Soulpepper.
"Jesus Christ Superstar has been a part of my life since I was a child," Siegel said in a release.
"I'm thrilled to have the chance to step back into the shoes of Judas."
The show opens June 7 on the main stage at the Confederation Centre.
